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

This is such a sweet twist on a classic coupon book!

This is a really adorable way to give the gift of experiences. Plus this idea is super inexpensive! 😛

All you need is a wooden photo frame and some comic book pages to create a super fun gift for dad to put on his desk at work!

10. Personalized Golf Balls
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. Awesomesauce
The kiddos will need some help preparing the sauce but I think the tags are so fun! And you could use any bbq sauce recipe you prefer, the tags would still work.
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.
16. No Sew Luggage Tags
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.
18. Braided Leather Keychain
There are lots of ways to use leather to make a great keychain for dad. This way seemed like the easiest project for kiddos to make.
