5 Quick & Easy DIY Father’s Day gifts
There's only a few more days until Father's Day, and if you’re like us finding a the perfect Father's Day gift is always a struggle. Here's a roundup of handmade gifts kids can make with a minimum of supplies.
2 Father's Day photo ideas
This one's from Celebration Shoppe . If you've got at least three kids you can have them lay on the floor and arrange themselves, so that their bodies create the letters D and A. Take photos from above and you have a keepsake photo that can be enlarged and framed, or used in a card.
If all you've got are markers and the camera on your phone, here's an easy idea that will work only if your kid’s feet aren't ticklish!
Red Ted Art, always a great source for kids crafts, has a blog post with 15 ideas for Father's Day craft. What struck to me is photograph at the top of the page, with two boys sitting side-by-side with the soles of their feet facing the camera. On the farthest left foot is the word We drawn with a black marker, the foot to the right has a heart drawn with red marker, the next one says You, and the farthest right foot says Dad.
Take a pic, have it enlarged and frame it. Voila, Dad's day done!
3 Rock Crafts for Father's Day
If you've got rocks and pebbles in your yard here are three ideas to turn them into Dad's Day gold.
Using our quick and easy three ingredient air dry clay, make a paperweight using pebbles found in your yard. Arrange the pebbles to say Dad Rocks and press them into the soft clay.
Search for long narrow rocks to represent each member of the family. Decorate the rocks using permanent markers and epoxy the rocks onto a larger flat rock that serves as the base.
This one requires printing photographs onto rice paper. Print the photo onto the rice paper and cut around the photo. Find some flat rocks that are big enough for the photo. Brush mod podge onto the rock surface, then place rice paper photo on top and gently brush over the photo with more mod podge.
Rice paper is soft and flexible, so you can see the texture of the rock beneath the photos.
We hope this post helps you create memorable, fun projects that the dad in your life will love. If you make one of the crafts, tag us on social media at #popupartschool or send us a pic
