Father's Day Printable

Happy Thursday, everyone! Are you all tired of seeing printables on here yet? I hope not, because Father's Day is right around the corner (just a few days away), so I wanted to share a Father's Day-themed printable I recently made. It reads, "Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy." It's a saying that I've heard for as long as I can remember and I can even recall my early childhood when we had a magnet on the refrigerator that read those words.

 

My dad and I may not always agree or get along well, but I'm so fortunate to have a father that works hard to provide for his family. I know that he truly loves us and we mean the world to him. I love my dad and I'll always be his little girl :)

 

This printable would look great on the cover of a homemade card or printed and displayed in a frame. Just right click the image, save it as a picture, and print it; it's that easy!

 

Easy Father's Day Craft Idea

Hello, hello! Father's Day is approaching quickly and I wanted to share a very simple Father's Day craft that anyone can make... and I bet you already have the supplies at home! It takes all of about two minutes to make and it's sure to melt dad's heart!

 

You will need Scrabble game pieces, a picture frame, glue (super glue or a glue gun), and a photo to put in the frame. Our Scrabble game has been missing pieces for years, so instead of tossing out the game, I saved the letter squares so that I could use them for crafts. If you don't have a Scrabble game that you can take letters from, head to your local thrift store- they most likely have one waiting for you!

The first step is choosing what you want to spell out. "Dad," "Daddy," "Grandpa," or "Father," are obvious choices, but you can spell out whatever you like. Words like "Superman" and "My Hero" would also be great choices; the possibilities are endless.

Next, print a photo and put it in the frame you are using. If you are gifting this to your father, a photo of you and your dad or of grandfather/grandchildren would be ideal, etc. You can print the photo at home with your own printer, or get it printed at a photo center.

Finally, lay out the Scrabble pieces on the frame until you are satisfied with the arrangement and glue them in place.

 

Though this craft is probably the easiest gift in the world to make, I still think there's something really special about it being a homemade gift from the heart. All of Dad's gifts were store bought this year, but I think this one will make him smile.

What's the best homemade gift you've ever given? What's the best homemade gift you've ever received?
