DIY Father’s Day Gifts

Leave a comment

 

My husband says in Israel there’s only Mother’s Day so he was surprised that HE gets a day too!  Finding DIY gift ideas on Pinterest is tricky though because he’s not into American sports, so no handprint baseballs for him.  He’s from another country and they have their own games, sports, etc.  So that cancels about 75% of what I found for the boys to make my husband.  Although, I did get some cute ideas for grandpa pretty quick.  Here are some pins I love for Father’s Day gifts made by little hands.

The Best DIY Teacher Gifts On Pinterest (Approved By A Teacher!)

As an art teacher and art club organizer for 17 years I didn’t receive a lot of holiday gifts over the years, nor did I expect it.  Who has money to spend on all of their kids teachers?  When I did get presents it really meant a lot to me and I treasured every DIY gift I got because I truly believe it came from the heart.  I have enjoyed researching DIY teacher gifts on Pinterest so much this weekend and I thought I would share my  5 favorites with you.  You can click the images to be linked directly to the pin.

 

  1. I found this on Craft with Angel and thought it really elevated the crayon wreath idea.  I would hang this in my classroom all year long!

teacher wreath.. bought the stuff to make this with Landon for Mrs Nicholson! hopefully we'll get it done this week!:

2.What teacher doesn’t want cute supplies? From Scraps of Shirlee.

3. I’m dying to make this when I go back to teaching as my daily tote! From G is For Gift.

Teacher Appreciation Gift: Decorate a canvas tote bag - the link is broken but the photos look pretty self explanatory. (I wouldn't just limit it to a tote either...this would make a great bandana or scarf print etc etc):

 

4. Such a nice gift to remember that amazing class! From So Festive.

5. I love the chalkboard pots idea and think of all the gifts you could put inside!  From Snowman Crafts. Co.
