DIY Fathers Day Gifts

Dad’s can be so hard to shop for, and even harder to make gifts for. These DIY Dad day gifts are things that Dad is sure to use like golf balls, beer, and t-shirts!

1. Matching t-shirts

I love getting Andy coordinating t-shirts with the kids. It’s the cutest. I switch up buying and making the t-shirts. Last year, I made these Seinfeld inspired t-shirts with my Cricut Joy and one year we did tie dye t-shirts. Hop over to see the last 7 years of matching t-shirt cuteness in Casa de Dorobek.

2. Back rub t-shirt for Dad

On the t-shirt note, this DIY Father’s Day gift doubles as a way to lay down and play with the kids! What Dad doesn’t want that? Find the complete tutorial at The Blue Basket.

3. Marbled mugs

This is a fun DIY to do with the kids and all you need is nail polish and a few white coffee mugs. Dad will love sipping his cup of jo with his personalized coffee mug.

4. DIY Puzzle Cube

Is your guy a gamer, does he love solving puzzles and figuring things out, is he from the Rubik’s cube era? Then, this DIY puzzle cube is the perfect little gift to surprise him with this Father’s Day. Using a few items from the craft store, you can make him this rad gift for under $10…score!
