Supplies

1 Small/Medium Rock
Pipe cleaners
Craft Foam
Wiggle Eyes
Hot Glue
Scissors

How to Make a "Rock Dad" Craft

Step 1

Find a rock in your yard that will stand up on it's own and have enough room to glue the facial features and accessories.

Step 2

Cut out and glue on the hair. You can use yarn, pipe cleaners or even fuzzy pom poms. We gave ours some spike hair doos using pipe cleaners.

Step 3

Next glue on the wiggle eyes, nose and mouth. You don't have to have all the facial features. For one of ours we glued on some really furry looking yarn for a mustache instead of making a nose and mouth.

Step 4

Create some arms, ears or what ever you want with pipe cleaners or craft foam. We used pipe cleaners to create big ears for the one rock dad and coiled up pipe cleaners for arms for the other one. Glue your pieces on the rock.

Step 5

Lastly, give your rock character some feet. We used really big feet on the one and wrote the words "Dad Rocks" on the feet. For the other one we have him really big hands (from craft foam) and attached a sign to the hand that says "Dad Rocks".

Just use your imagination and make your Father's day crafts gift special and unique to you. You can even add accessories like a bow tie, hat or what ever you can think of. You can even make your rock look a bit like your dad by using the same hair color, hair style, etc. Go wild with these cute little "Dad Rocks" crafts.

Supplies

1 Store Bought Frame
(hint: go to the dollar store for the frame)
Misc. Items
These can be nuts and bolts, fishing stuff, etc.
Paint Stick or Colored Marker
Hot Glue
Picture
Scissors (to cut picture to size if needed)

How to Make a Photo Frame for Father's Day

Step 1

Purchase an inexpensive picture frame the size you want. We get ours from the dollar store.

Step 2

Decide which way (portrait or landscape) your picture will be. Then with the paint stick write your message along the sides of the frame.

Step 3

Next glue all your items you want. We used all electrical parts for ours as the dad this frame is going to is an electrician.

Tip: Think of things your dad likes and use items that related to that. It could be fishing lures and hooks if he likes to fish or nuts and bolts if he likes to fix things.

Finish off this craft for dad by placing a picture of you in the finished frame.

For another fun Fathers day crafts idea try making him this windsock.
