DIY Crafts for Father’s Day
With Father’s Day just around the corner (1st September for all those who may have forgotten!) there’s no better way to show appreciation for dad than with a heartfelt, handmade gift. DIY crafts are a fantastic way to create something truly unique and personal that dad will cherish forever.
Customised Photo Frame
A photo frame is a classic gift that never goes out of style and when its handmade, its even more special. Start with a plain wooden frame (Kmart will be your go-to) and let your creativity flow! Paint it in dad’s favourite colours or add some fun embellishments before adding a family photo.
Handprint BBQ Apron
If dad loves to man the BBQ, a personalized BBQ apron will be a hit! Start with a plain apron in his favourite colour and use fabric paint to create handprints of each child. You can add the kids’ names and year next to the handprints for a keepsake that will last years.
Homemade Coupon Book
A coupon book is a fun and easy way to give dad the gift of quality time and acts of service. Create a booklet with different ‘coupons’ for things like breakfast in bed, a movie night, a car wash, or a day together. Dad can then redeem these coupons whenever he wants, making it a gift that keeps on giving!
Personalised Coffee Mug
If dad’s a coffee lover, a personalized mug is a great gift idea. You can either DIY it yourself by using ceramic paint or markers, or get a mug printed with your favourite photos of you both together. Every time dad enjoys his morning coffee, he’ll think of you!
Homemade Beard Oil
For dads with facial hair, homemade beard oil is a luxurious gift that shows you care. Mix together natural oils like jojoba, argan, and coconut oil, and add a few drops of dad’s favourite essential oil for scent. Pour the mixture into a small bottle and let dad enjoy the pampering!
Kids’ Artwork Keychain
Turn your child’s artwork into a portable piece of art with a DIY keychain. Have the kids draw a picture of dad or something he loves, shrink the drawing down using shrink plastic sheets, and attach to a keyring! This way, dad can carry a little piece of you wherever he goes.
Homemade Card
Sometimes, the simplest gifts are the most meaningful. A handmade father’s day card allows you to express your love and appreciation in your own words.
