This is a birthday card I made last month for my FIL. On the inside I glued in a pocket to hold the fishing license and a gift card we got him. I cased the other fishing vest cards posted here on this site, but I changed it to make it my own. I added more pockets, since real vests have lots of pockets. I added tabs to each pocket that were folded to the inside to make them realistic. I then attached them with a pop dot in the middle ( for another real effect) and glue around the edges to hold them in place. The "flies" are just bits of yarn. I found the stickers in my stash so this card cost me almost nothing to make.
This would make a great Father's day card and can be adapted for hunting with orange and/or camo.

This does not have to be a Fishing Vest, it could also be made into a tuxedo vest, hunting vest, shooting vest (?), golfing vest (Argyle anyone?), military.....etc. Just google the real vest you want to make, (like I did), and then create it. Thanks again!
