Father's Day will be here sooner than you think! While fathers probably have some gifts in mind that are not homemade, the fact is that every father (especially of young children) accepts handmade gifts as treasures, made for them by the ones they love most became. Here we will show you some creative ideas on how to make a Father's Day gift out of wood.
DIY memory box for dad
Materials needed for a Father's Day memory box:
Photo box made of untreated wood
Wood stain in a color of your choice
Cloth for applying the stain
Letter stencils
Black acrylic paint
Small spray brush
Painter's tape
Scrapbook Papier
Spray adhesive
How to make a Father's Day memory box:
- First, color the photo box made of untreated wood. If you want, you can also stain the inside of the box.
- After the stain has dried, stencil the words “No. 1 Dad” on the outside of the photo box. Use painter's tape to hold the stencils in place.
- If you have a Cricut machine, you can also cut letters out of vinyl and glue them onto the box.
- After the paint has dried, print the word “Memories” on a piece of computer paper and cut it out to fit the label holder on the front of the box.
- Then you can cut some manly-looking scrapbook paper to fit inside the box and attach it to the inside with spray adhesive.
