Father's Day is just around the corner, but if you still haven't picked out a cool gift, it might be time to skip the store-bought stuff like ties or golf clubs and make your dad something truly special from the heart this year.
Dads aren't the easiest to shop for, which is why homemade gifts will really surprise him. It will be a gift he will remember and cherish for years to come.
Every year, I struggle to find that perfect Father's Day gift that my dad will really love. After a little searching online, I found the cutest gift idea: a daddy-daughter Scrabble picture frame. I really was drawn to this idea; my family would play Scrabble all the time when I was younger. It's one of my fondest memories.
Using just a wooden picture frame, old Scrabble letters, and a hot-glue gun, I was able to create this gift in under 10 minutes. The final product would be the perfect addition for a home office, a living room, or a baby's nursery. It's really an incredibly thoughtful last-minute Father's Day gift that even the kids can help make. It's these simple gifts that come from the heart that can always bring a smile to Dad's face.
See just how simple this cute gift idea is to make with the step-by-step tutorial below.
1. Pick out the letters from the Scrabble bag, so you'll be able to spell out the words 'Daddy' and 'Daughter.'
2. Next, place your letters down on the picture frame first, so you can get the right spacing you desire.
For added help, I added an 'X' in pencil under each letter, so I knew right where to put my dab of hot glue.
3. Begin hot-gluing each letter to the picture frame.
4. Let dry. Be sure to stand your picture frame upright, just to ensure all the letters are securely glued to the frame. Reapply glue, if needed.
5. Insert your favorite photo, and you're done!
What a wonderful gift to give Dad on Father's Day!
No matter what interests your dad has, he will be overjoyed with this special gift. Plus, it feels so good to skip the store-bought stuff and make something completely unique and heartfelt.
This is such a fun and thoughtful way to display photos in my home. (And don't limit yourself to only doing this craft on Father's Day. This could be perfect for birthdays, holidays, baby showers, and more. The possibilities are truly endless, so get creative!)
