It’s always a challenge to come up with new ideas for Father’s Day crafts. This project is super easy and Dad can probably use it more than he would a new tie! (especially since he never wears ties) And, as a bonus, you probably have all the materials on hand already. In one morning, Bean and I had a personalized gift and card made for all three of our special men: Dad, Grandpa and Pepe. Here are the directions:

Materials:
Sturdy cardboard of desired size (recycle something!)
Assorted patterned papers (Scraps are perfect!)
Stickers, cut-outs, markers, pens, rubber stamps, other embellishments
Adhesive of choice
Mod Podge or other sealant glue
Pack of Stickies

Instructions:
Cut out base paper and adhere to cardboard with adhesive of choice. Let children color, glue, sticker to their hearts’ content. We traced and cut out handprints for one and added sticker messages like “Love you Grandpa!” There are endless possibilities for decorating! It might be cute to write, “Take note, Dad: I love you!”
When finished, apply a layer of Mod Podge to seal. When applying, you can swirl the brush or dab it up and down to make a textured surface. While the sealant glue is still tacky, press a stack of post-its to the page. You can also glue other embellishments to decorate. Let dry overnight.
