OneMake a greeting cardAnyone can write or label! Much more interesting is a garland like this that you can make yourself with the children in addition to the actual gift for dad. All you need is:
- colored paper
- Hole punch (just a little bigger than the string so the letters don't slip)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- cord

These popsicle sticks can be purchased at craft stores. So if you haven't collected your children's stems, you can still get some there even at the last minute.

- Mini clothespins
- Yarn/cord
- Hot glue (for adults or older children)
- Photos for the finished frames

Then you can glue the stems together. In the example you can see two options: For the first, place two ice cream sticks parallel to each other in front of you. Distribute three more on top, creating a grid that is reminiscent of a fence. Glue two clothespins to the top to hold the photo on and glue a piece of twine to the back to hang the photohomemade frame.
For the second variant, form a simple square out of the ice cream sticks. Then cut out a slightly smaller square from paper and glue it to the wooden frame. Now glue the photo in the middle and yarn again on the back. The picture frame is ready as a DIY Father's Day gift.

Would you likeMake gifts for dad, useful ideas are of course the perfect option. If you heat your house with wood and dad always has to go outside to get firewood, a bag like this is the perfect choice! You don't have to be a sewing professional to sew the stretcher, you just need a sewing machine and:
- any non-elastic material
- optional: straps, wooden sticks
Cut the fabric to the desired size and then sew a hem all around to prevent the fabric from fraying. You can now do the following things:
- Cut two wide strips out of the same fabric, fold them in half lengthways and sew the two sides together to make straps that you then attach to the stretcher
- sew on finished straps; attaching them along the entire width of the stretcher will make it more stable
- Work wooden dowels into the upper hem for carrying. Then you need holes underneath for the fingers, which also need to be hemmed to prevent them from fraying.
Children can then design the finished bag as they wish using textile paints as a DIY Father's Day gift. You can use stencils for specific motifs or lettering or create your own images.
