Great DIY gifts for dad on fathers day! I’m so excited to share 6 different gift ideas even your kids can make.
#1. Transform a simple pane window into a photo holder
-
Tape off window pane with painters tape.
-
Paint frame with Chalky paint 1-2 coats.
-
Sand areas you would like to rough up to give it a weathered look or put a matt or gloss sealer over the top for a cleaner look.
-
Place vinyl on the front of the glass by Decorating Your Life.
-
Place 8×10 photos behind the glass and use 8 mini magnets to hold photo in place. 4 magnets on the front and 4 behind the glass for each photo.
#2 Personalized photo frame
-
Start by painting the unfinished frame with Chalk Paint.
-
Print out what you would like to say on a word document.
-
Place tracing paper under your word document and trace over each letter or image with a pencil.
-
Lift up paper and you should have an out line of your image.
-
Use a Bistro Marker to fill in your image.
-
Last take a white piece of chalk to season your frame.
-
Wipe off extra chalk and you are done!
Directions:
This is super easy! Just paint your frame with black acrylic paint, add “I love that you’re my father” vinyl, then season your frame with white chalk!
#4 Decorative Pails
