Fathers Day Crafts


Father's Day crafts are a perfect way for kids to show their love to their fathers without spending a huge amount of money. Father's Day crafts are articles made out of material available around the house and fashioned into cute gifts by kids. Father's Day crafts are especially popular with girls.

The greatest advantage of Father's Day crafts is that they can be prepared by children as young as three or four years old, thereby giving them a chance to know the true meaning of the celebration.

There are various examples of items and articles that can be created by children out of materials like glue, cardboard, crayons and other simple materials found commonly in households. Hand-made cards are good examples of simple father's day crafts.

The various materials used for making Father's Day crafts include cardboard, felt, paper, glue, Popsicle sticks, crayons, markers, scissors, papier-mâché, construction paper, shoe boxes, cereal boxes and juice containers.

Father's Day Gift: Typography Printable Glasses

Make and wear these geeky typography glasses on Father’s Day – wouldn’t it just be a great way for kids to show their love?! I’m sure you have other geeky items to borrow from dad’s wardrobe to complete the look. ^ ^
The blank template can be used for any color you like, but everyone loves this classic black geek glasses look. Red or neon color glasses will look cool as well!



Step 1. Print the template and cut it out. Trace it onto a sturdy cardboard of your favorite color. Cut the lines carefully with a craft knife.
Step 2. Fold the tabs and glue on the arms.

That’s it!

You can also fold them and pop them into an envelope with a message (a little tag with a message tied on) to use as a Father’s Day card.

Coolest Father's Day: Personalised Keychain Tutorial

With Father’s Day right around the corner, We’ve been thinking about easy-to-make gifts for Dads. This one is really funny and can be personalized with photos of your family members. Using a Shrinky Dink Kit, we turned Moses and Roman into miniature pins and keychains.

Materials: 
-Shrinky Dink Kit
-Photo of Your Child
-Super Glue
-Tie Tack Backings
-Keychain Key Rings

Step 1: Size the photos on your computer.  You want it to be about 200% bigger than the size you’d like your Shrinky Dink to be.
Step 2: Print the images directly onto the plastic Shrinky Dink sheets.
Step 3: Cut out the images. Leave a little bit of paper at the top to punch a hole through for the keychains.
Step 4: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Step 5: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out your Shrinky Dinks.
Step 6: Bake for 3-5 minutes.
Step 7: Let cool.
Step 8: Super glue on the tie tack backings and attach the key rings.
