Father's Day will be here in about a month, so there's plenty of time to get crafting and make dad something spectacular and handmade to show you appreciate all he does.
Transform Dad's favourite foods to something special with these free printable labels from Martha Stewart.
The men in my family are very into walking and hiking and so would love these map coasters. Martha Stewart gives you the how-to to create these coasters.
If you like the idea of coasters, Lee La La shows you how to easily transform tiles into personalised photo coasters for dad with this tutorial.
The following video episode of the DIY Dish shows you an extremely easy, but really unique way of mounting photos on to tiles, either to display in frames or to use as coasters. Check it out:
Another photo craft that would be perfect if your dad is a bibliophile - this fabric photo bookmark for Father's Day with this tutorial from Martha Stewart.
Spincushion created this tutorial for a photo frame coffee sleeve just for Father's Day.
Heather at Dollar Store Crafts shares a hilarious tutorial to make an Alien Abduction Lamp - perfect for a dad with a real sense of humour.
Sew4Home shared a tutorial to help you sew up a remote control caddy for Dad's favourite chair.
Sara vs Sarah shares a tutorial to use up fabric scraps with this steering wheel cover.
Julia shares a great idea on the Make blog to make a chess board using hardware store chessmen. Perfect for the DIY obsessed chess player.
If you feel like trying some basic wood working, try making this bent wood hand shaped bowls to collect your dad's mobile phone, keys and spare change. Until reading this article on Dollar Store Crafts I had no idea you could bend wood in your kitchen pots.
For another simple wood-working project, try making the Babclock, a simple clock making project, perfect for gifts for guys and designed by myself and my very own dad, Barry Babcock.
Girl in Air shared a tutorial to stamp washers and make them into key chains for Dad. My dad and I had a go at stamping washers a while back and made them into necklaces, but key-chains man-i-fy this project perfectly.
On June 19th, don't forget your dad.
These are nice gift ideas for Father's Day. Thank you for sharing this post.
