Show Dad just how much he means to you this Father's Day with a gift designed specially for him by you! It's fun and easy to create crafts that make perfect presents for holidays. Crafting homemade gifts for Father's Day is not only budget-friendly, but a heartfelt gesture to make his special day even more memorable.
Father's Day Apron
Dad will be grilling on the barbecue in style this Father's Day, wearing a one-of-a-kind tailored apron created by his biggest fans, his kids. Purchase a plain canvas apron from your local craft supply store and some acrylic paint in his favorite colors to craft this unique Father's Day gift. Lightly brush your child's hand with some paint and instruct him/her to make a handprint on the apron. Continue making handprints until you like how the apron looks. Once the paint is dry, your Father's Day apron is ready to present to Dad. There's no doubt that he'll love donning his fancy new apron every time he's in the kitchen.
Father's Day Tool/Tackle Box
Mr. Fix-its and Fishermen, will love receiving a personalized tool or tackle box for Father's Day. Purchase a simple, plastic tool box or tackle box from your local Walmart or hardware store. Pull out the craft supplies, and set your child loose to decorate it with his/her own personal touch. Craft paint, glitter and stickers work best for this project. The next time Dad pulls out his tool box to fix something or heads out on a fishing trip, he'll beam with pride sporting his unique, handcrafted box.
Father's Day Bank
Dad's pockets always seem to be loaded down with spare change. Lighten his load by crafting a whimsical bank to save his coins. All you need is an empty coffee can complete with lid, some craft paint and stickers to create this fun Father's Day gift. Paint your coffee can in Dad's favorite color. Once the paint is dry decorate it with stickers. If he loves baseball, you might want to use baseball stickers. If Dad likes cars, you might want to decorate your bank with car-themed stickers. Once you're done decorating the bank, put the lid on and cut about a 3-inch slit in the top so that coins can be dropped in.
Father's Day Lunch Sack
Often times, Dad has to spend lots of time at work away from the kids he loves. Why not make dad a special lunch tote for Father's Day, which will remind him that he's on your mind every time he eats lunch. Purchase a plain, reusable lunch tote at Target or other mass retailer and some puffy paints in a variety of bright colors. Armed with the paints, set kids loose to create their best artwork on the lunch tote, creating a uniquely personal Father's Day present.
Whatever gift you choose to craft, Dad will love the time and thought put into making his Father's Day special!
