Give dad what he wants with these DIY gift ideas.

BBQ Tool Holster

Give him the ultimate grilling accessory that will hold all the barbecue essentials. Leather tool holders keep spatulas, hot sauce and more at hand for easy grilling.

DIY Scratch-Off Card

Surprise Dad with a DIY scratch-off lotto-style card with prizes, such as a free car wash, breakfast in bed and a free pass from mowing the lawn. He’ll appreciate the day off.

Leather Valet Tray

Use an old frame and upcycled leather to provide Dad with a stylish place to keep his keys, change, jewelry and other valuables at hand. Give it a personalized touch by monogramming it using stencils and a permanent marker.

Hand-Painted Grilling Platter

Dad will be proud to serve burgers and hot dogs on his custom grilling platter. The kids can use their artistic skills to draw and write a custom message for their favorite man.

Style a Bar Cart

Give Dad a break and serve him his favorite drinks on a stylish bar cart. To make this, sand down an existing cart then apply two to three coats of the paint color of your choice to the entire cart. Add painter’s tape to the sides of the cart, and apply two to three coats of a different color of your choice to the cart’s tray. Let dry, then fill it with his favorite libations

Rustic Frame

Gather the kids to make this nature-inspired frame. Glue twigs to a picture frame, and add your favorite photo of Dad and the kids camping.

Bespoke Apron

Spruce up Dad’s barbecue or morning coffee routine with a rugged yet dapper denim apron. Leather loops conveniently hold towels and a small pocket is perfect as a cellphone holder.

Handmade Card

Don’t forget the card! Browse the scrapbook aisle for stickers that illustrate Dad’s favorite hobbies. Attach them to the front of card stock and write a sweet message inside to show how much you appreciate him.

Hand-Painted Coffee Mug

Surprise Dad the morning of Father’s Day by getting the kids to write messages and draw pictures of his favorite things on a coffee mug. You can get a mug kit at the kids’ section at any craft store — the porcelain pen dries within a minute!

No-Fuss Gift

Don’t stress if you’ve waited until the very last minute. He’ll appreciate the smallest of gestures — even if it’s simply putting a bow on a remote, giving him free reign of the TV all day.

Decoupage Tin Can

Put those empty tin cans to good use by covering them with Dad’s favorite memorabilia and quotes. The kids will love to make this for their favorite guy.

Vegetable-Dyed T-Shirt
