Packaging Dry Rubs for Gifts

For a clever homemade gift for Dad this Father's Day, make a collection of spice rubs in cute packaging. Follow this tutorial from Becky Kazana for a culinary Father's Day gift or as a gift to any special "BBQer" in the family.

I found this idea at http://www.favecrafts.com/Fathers-Day/Fathers-Day-Spice-Rubs

You can also find Rub recipes at http://www.apronmadness.blogspot.com/

Simply mix your favorite rub recipe. Fill about 1/2 ziploc baggie (Qt size)... cut a piece of cardstock & a piece of Dad's favorite magazine (hunting, cooking) or a nice picture from calendars & use a glue stick to glue onto cardstock. Fold in 1/2 & staple to the top of the baggies. Label each Topper with the rub name.

Father's Day Golf Club Cover
Pattern from Lion Brand® Lion® Wool

GAUGE:
16 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Cable pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
