We are here to help. We give you here 8 great gifts that you can make for Father’s Day. The DIY projects below range from incredibly easy to somewhat difficult. For the more complicated ones, perhaps you can ask your dad for assistance. This way, not only will you be giving him a great gift, you two will have a great bonding moment as well.
1. Soda Can Coasters
If your dad loves his soda or beer, this is a gift that will surely be well-received. Apart from the soda or beer cans, you will also need Silicone and tiles for this projects. To give your coaster a nice finish, a layer or two of clear varnish on top will do.
2. Steampunk Thumbtacks
Does your dad share your love for all things steampunk? If you answered yes, we have here a great DIY that he will absolutely go nuts for. You can download and print the design of these thumbtacks. Paste them onto wooden circles and then glue to plain thumbtacks. Let dry and you’re done.
3. Handstamped Handkerchief
Here is a DIY idea that is close to my heart. Handstamping is fun and after checking this tutorial, I’m sure you will want to stamp everything. The nautical theme going on in this project is lovely but if you’re looking for a different design, that would be very easy to do, too.
4. Industrial Side Table
This is one of the more complicated Father’s Day projects in this list. Ask your dad for help on this one if you don’t know how to operate a hacksaw or a circular saw.
5. Phone Holder
If your dad’s phone holder has seen better days, there is no other choice but to make this felt phone holder for him for Father’s Day. For this project, you will be needing felt, a set of leather strap snap button, and a sewing machine. The sewing required for this project is all straight lines so don’t worry if you’re not that friendly with your sewing machine.
6. Mustache Glass
Here is another gift idea for the dad who loves his spirits. You will need etching cream for this project. A mustache is a nice design but you can also go for your dad’s initials, his silhouette, or any other drawing.
7. Necktie
I have tried this pattern and project and can tell you that it is all sorts of wonderful. Not only will this be a great idea for a DIY Father’s Day gift, it will also come handy come birthdays or even around Christmastime.
8. Shaving Cream
Is your dad obsessed with using only organic products? For Father’s Day, give him something that you can whip up in your own kitchen, minus the harmful chemicals. This gift will be a huge hit, I’m sure. Your uncles and granddads might just ask you for the recipe!
