I tried to find craft projects that are a little more intriguing than typical handprint crafts and printable coupon books. (Although I did find one craft that is a combination of both those ideas! haha)
Because while I know that dads appreciate any gift or card their kiddos make for them, it would be nice to have a gift that they’ll really love and use.
But if you’re looking for DIY gifts for dad that are a little more sophisticated and geared towards adult crafters, check out this post of 28 Last Minute DIY Father’s Day Gifts. And if you’d prefer to purchase something ready-made, check out this post of 30 Unique Personalized Gifts for Men

I had no idea it was possible to dye golf balls! Plus, it will be easier for dad to find his golf balls on the green if they’re personalized!
11. Edible Tackle Box
This one is sure to please! Try some watermelon sharks, swedish fish, sour octopus‘, and of course lots of worms!
12. No Sew Sunglasses Case
I know these exact cases don’t totally scream ‘gift for dad’, but with a few easy modifications, like using brown leather instead of white, I think these would be great for Father’s Day! They can be painted in any way the kiddos choose.
13. Screwdriver Coat Rack
Scour the local thrift store for a selection of screwdrivers for the kids to paint. Then all you need is a couple of L brackets and a table leg!
14. Moose Key Holder
I couldn’t find the original source for this DIY, but the photos here are pretty self-explanatory. All you need is a small wood plaque, a moose toy (or other antlered creature) and some paints!
15. Mountain Photo Holders
These are so cute, and can easily be made with more masculine colours if that’s an important criteria! Sculpey oven bake clay has a ton of colour and finish options.

A custom luggage tag makes it sooo much easier to find your bags on the carousel!
17. Magnetic Bookmarks
All you need is a little magnetic tape and some fun ribbons to make a selection of handy bookmarks.
