Getting the ball rolling...Father's Day

So the book, still isn't finished (ugh!), but since my plea for Father's Day ideas, has so far, gone unanswered, I'm going to toss out a few. If anyone has anything to add, please comment below.


Bakerella to save the day

I keep finding lots of Bakerella fans all over the internet, and why not? Her site is so yummy to look at, even if you don't recreate her concoctions at home. She came up with these pops for Father's Day. She admits to having a few difficulties with them, but they are awfully fun, and I really like the "Super Dad" theme. You could take that and run with it.


Of course, there is Martha (who had Bakerella on her show)

She has lots of homemade card and gift ideas. The one that I think I may attempt is this little word frame. I have 3 kids, so I can use one letter per kid. This is designed as a simple kids craft that won't be very durable. I was thinking about doing it with a stiffer cardboard and doing modge podge or something all over the letters. I'd like to make it durable enough for him to take and put on his desk at work.


Shrinky Dinks
I am still kind of excited about all of the possibilities with ShrinkySheets. I think a key chain would be really cool for Father's Day. Use your kid's artwork or photo. The Craft Junkie at Craft Therapy, has a great tutorial on the shrinky stuff. Part I and Part II.


That's all I've got time for at the moment. I'd love to hear your ideas!

  2. Thanks so much for the mention! And you're right, a keychain for Dad would be an awesome Father's Day gift. I also love the DAD picture frame idea, too.
