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.
