Handmade Father’s Day Photo Frame
This is a simple and affordable craft for kids of all ages. Decorate a plain wooden frame or cardboard frame with stickers, buttons, or paint, and insert a favorite family photo. For little expense and effort you’ve got a personalised gift for Dad to cherish.
DIY Photo Keychain
Using blank keychain templates like these you can make Dad a custom keychain. You could shrink down and print out a family picture, or provide kids with a small template of card to fit the frame and let them decorate with a small picture, message or thumbprint.
Personalised Father’s Day Beaded Keychain
Clay bead kits are immensely popular right now, and although Dad has probably been on the receiving end of some Taylor Swift inspired friendship bracelets, he may appreciate and use a beaded keychain more!
String together beads in the usual way but instead of tying the elastic in a circle to make a bracelet, keep it as a short string. Add Dad’s initials or spell out words such as “Dad’s Keys” then attach to a keychain holder to create a cute and functional Father’s Day craft.

Gift your Dad this DIY Father’s Day printable coupon book and give him a whole 9 (or more) treats to look forward to!

From a day of peace and quiet to a breakfast in bed, there are a range of coupons for Dad to cash in as he sees fit. Includes blank templates for you to write on your own personalized coupons. The coupons are printable and non editable.
Hand-Painted Plant Pots
