Father’s Day is just a just a few days away. We are sure you and your kids must be trying to come up with some handmade gift ideas that are also budget-friendly. Every dad wants a simple, practical gift that doesn’t cost a fortune. To make it easier, here are some of the best DIY gift ideas you can easily make for your beloved dad on Father’s Day. The perk of making gifts from scratch is that they will be unique, and you can easily customize them to your old man’s liking.
1. Paper plate prize ribbon
This is probably the simplest DIY gift toddlers can make on Father’s Day. Moreover, it can be made with supplies you already have around the house. Take a paper plate, paint it any color (it is best to paint it your dad’s favorite color), attach ribbons at the bottom, and write a cute message, like “You are number 1 dad,” “We love you,” “You are our strength, dad,” etc. Decorate the plate and ribbon with stickers, tape, etc. You can even frame your creation and have a fun giving away ceremony to surprise your dad at the end of the day.
2. Coasters
If your dad loves using coasters for cold and/or hot beverages, make some fantastic DIY coasters to gift him on Father’s Day. From pasting pictures of his funny faces on the coasters to painting some of his favorite items like beer, tea, books, cigars, etc., to writing his favorite one-liners, you can easily make some amazing coasters in any shape with the items you have in your house. If you are not good with DIYs or lack time, you can always seek the help of experts. There are many options available online where you can get customized coasters at an affordable rate. So, research well before making the final call.
3. Something old in something new
Does your dad often talk about his favorite shows, songs, or movies he loved watching as a child? If so, then it’s time to give your dad his childhood days again. Download all his favorite shows, videos, etc., on a pen drive and plug it into his television to watch whenever he wants. We are sure they will enjoy and love your DIY Father’s Day gift. The shows might be available on the OTT platforms, but this gesture will make their viewing experience hassle-free.
4. Create an album
No matter how digital things get, nothing is better than flipping photo albums and discussing old pictures with the family. So, this Father’s Day, give your dad a photo album full of his childhood pictures or photos from his school and college days. You can always ask for pictures from your grandparents, your father’s siblings, and childhood friends who stood the test of time. This DIY gift will make your dad emotional and nostalgic on Father’s Day. They will love browsing the pictures and telling you what happened behind the scenes.
5. Accessories for dads who love the kitchen
If your dad loves to cook, a handmade apron, utensil holder, napkin holder, cookbook holder, etc., will be the perfect DIY gift for him on Father’s Day. You can make an apron from any fabric (try to pick a fabric comfortable to wear in the kitchen), while other things can be made from ceramic, clay, or reusable items like glass jars, tin cans, etc.
You can also give your dad keychains, hand-painted t-shirts, DIY laptop covers, etc. The gift ideas are endless if you are ready to get creative. Just think about what your dad likes the most or what makes him happy, and choose a DIY craft accordingly.
