Fathers Day Crafts

Options
Hi peeps i have been so busy i haven't had chance to pop on here for such a long time (slap my wrists!) but i'm back now!!!. I have been busy working on lots of Fathers day items so i thought it might be good to start a thread where we can all share our fathers day makes and idea's to give each other some inspiration....

Ill kick off with some of my makes and as always if anyone wants to make any and needs help you know where i am :D

this photo frame is really easy to make and you can use wood letters or foam letters or even cut out cardboard letters .

These bookmarks are really easy too and you could even get your little ones to make these .

I'll add some more idea's tomorrow but feel free to post your own ideas and photos and lets get sharing xxx

    Photo frmaes are really easy and a great personalised gift! I make all my frames from scratch but you can easily pick up a prepainted frame from poundland or home bargains cheap enough then decorate it with your own personal touch xx

    My daughter usually does a canvas for her daddy, it started when she was tiny & I dabbed her wee feet with paint using a spomge then pressed her feet onto the canvas then as she's gotten older she has started to do them herself using hand print's. I saw this one on pintrest the other day thought it was a nice idea http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/20925_240447439433679_1584682972_n.jpg

    Love the font on your frame. Did you make it yourself or it exists somewhere as computer font?
