Homemade Gift Ideas for Dad
Here are gift ideas for dad you can make yourself for little or no money. Send me a picture of your dad and the gift you make him!- Brandon in VT - I made my dad a boot dryer as a
Fathers day gift. First I cut a square out of plywood and then nailed 2
foot sections of dowel to it so the dowels stick straight up. To use
it, you turn your boots upside down over the dowels. (You can see
directions for a similar rack here.)
- No name - I made a clock out of the motherboard of my old computer for my dad's office. It looked pretty cool. You can make clocks out of almost anything with a little kit from Hobby Lobby or a craft store.
- Sarah in Sidney NB - My mom and I found some letters my dad wrote to my grandparents when he was on a ship in the Navy. I created something like a scrapbook page with the letters and a picture of him the day he joined, but instead of putting it into a scrapbook, I framed it. When he opened it at Christmas, he said it was one of the best gifts he had ever gotten.
- Kyla in St. Joseph MO - I found some camo fabric and sewed up some heating packs as gifts for dad, grandpa and my uncles. I just filled each sack with rice but I have also heard you can use cherry pits and other things.
- Shasta in Fortuna CA - I'm sure this gift idea for dad wouldn't be for everybody, but my dad is definitely a hippy at heart. I took three pairs of white cotton boxers and tie-dyed them. He now wears them under his suit in court!
