DIY Gifts For Dad

1. Dad’s Travel Bag

I made this top DIY zip toiletry holder for my husband on Fathers Day. He goes to the gym during his lunch hour and needed something to freshen up with. I chose a cotton faux chamois style fabric with a leather trim, that I always have in abundance here because leather spells love in my book. Hubby loved it, but this DIY project does require intermediate level sewing skill for the zipper installation, but once you get it down you’ll be popping them out like hot cakes.

2. Handstamped Handkerchief DIY

I wanted to include the kids on a DIY craft graphic Hand Stamped Handkerchief for their Dad on Father’s Day. Easy enough to bust out as a last minute DIY Father’s Day gift (wink wink!) and simple enough for even the youngest of crafters to help. Dads always love handmade gifts, especially when they also have elements of practicality. All you need is some handkerchiefs, ink and a stamp, so let’s get stamping! You can try to align your images, or just go for it freestyle. Letting some of your images bleed off the edge will make it look like the fabric was printed professionally.

3. DIY Leather Cord Roll

My son and I wanted to get Dad the perfect gift for Father’s Day can be easy creative and fun when you set your inner DIY creativity free. One thing most men need help with is organization.

This leather chord roll can be created in an afternoon and is automatically fancy because of what it’s made of. The clean lines make it appropriate for men and your dad will appreciate the thought!

I made two of these this year for Father’s Day gifts, one for my father-in-law and another for my Dad. They both loved these awesome handmade bags that are created from the ties of your choice. Creative DIY gifting at its best. I found a bag of men’s ties at Savers and remembered this fantastic DIY gift idea I saw on Pinterest. The sewing instructions were super easy to follow, its a fantastic little DIY project for the novice hobby sewing person or the well-versed seamstress.

My daughter wanted to make a DIY craft project for her Dad for Father’s Day. Her Dad is a keen golfer and plays a couple of times per week. Golf accessories are always a great gift idea for him and as we know they will be put to good use! If you are looking for a gift idea for your Dad for Father’s Day, this is a fun project idea. There is a great range of fabric prints suitable for men available now. She used prints with a numbered scoreboard theme.

We have a cute local coffee shop in downtown Austin. They serve coffee out of felt wrapped jars instead of cups. I needed a Fathers Day gift for my coffee loving Uncle so I thought “Hey let’s make these DIY leather cups at home but instead of felt, let’s use leather.” We already had a few random thrifted mason jars at home already. I found some scrap pieces of leather and began crafting our own version. My Uncle loved it, and said he will treasure bit always.

My Husband and I listen to music all the time in this house. Most of our music is on our phones, so we can easily turn on something to listen to driving in the car, while doing dishes, when we’re outside playing while showering or getting ready, etc. However, even though the sound on our phones is pretty good, It’s not really loud enough. We have a Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen that works great, but sometimes it’s a pain to haul around to different rooms, the garage, outside, etc. Instead of buying a Bluetooth speaker for every location in our entire house, we made a really inexpensive alternative, that also blends in with your decor.

8. Easy DIY Race Medal Holder Display

My Cousin competes in triathlons and was in need of a Fathers Day present. He puts in hours of training each week and collects race medals that started piling up in his drawer. I’ve been so impressed with his continued work and improvement that I really wanted to get him some sort of race medal display for our 16th anniversary last month, but I couldn’t find any that I really liked. Most of the ones on Amazon were pretty pricey ($60) and didn’t seem like they’d even fit that many medals. So I decided to make one instead, and for an early father’s day present, I gave him this race medal display. It was really simple and he loved it.

I made my Husband this DIY game project for Fathers DayIf you’re from the Midwest like me, Baggo (aka Cornhole) is a staple at every family gathering, tailgate party, and any other outdoor gathering you can think of. The parts are easy to assembly, and the swing-out legs make it easy to stow away or take on the road. If you’re planning an upscale gathering, stain the deck boards a classic dark color like ours, or stencil in your favorite logo for game day. At 24×48 inches, our board is “competition size”, but the deck can easily be scaled down or the 2×4 frame swapped for 2x3s to make the assembly lighter on the go.

If you can cut a square out of a scrap of leather then you can make this DIY project. I made them for all the men in my family for Fathers Day, and they all loved them. I sewed them all on a machine but you can use Leather Weld from Tandy Leather, It will do just fine. For an extra decorative appeal, you can top stitch over the glue by hand.
