Father's Day Handmade Gift, Card and Food Ideas

Father's Day Handmade Gift, Card and Food Ideas

Click here for more Father's Day Ideas. Personally, I think father's day gifts should homemade or DIY whenever possible. Be it edible, decorative or otherwise, I think it adds to the charm, meaningfulness and uniqueness of the thought.  But just because you're making it, doesn't mean it has to take long or be complicated! So I've put together a board of my fave DIY gift, card and food ideas that I think you will enjoy making (yes, there's still time!) and that dad will love to receive! Check out links below:

DIY Photo Cube Gift for Father's Day

DIY Photo Cube Gift for Father's Day

Remember this CD candle holder I posted here? Well, I thought the same idea would make for a super fun, mega quick craft. And hence the perfect  last minute father's day gift! But instead of a candle holder (not sure dads are into scented candles much...), I made a personalized photo cube that dad can use to store all his bits and bobs, or display proudly on his desk or bed-side table! What's not to like? It's handmade with love, super quick to make, involves up-cycling unwanted items (so it's also inexpensive), and oozes bespoke charm?! ;)

Free Printable Happy Father's Day 3D Card

Free Printable Happy Father's Day 3D Card

If you're not the crafty type, fear not. This quick and easy   3-D printable Father's Day Card was designed with kids in mind - So all you need are some basic tools (and let your inner child loose...)  to be able to create a bespoke card for dad! ;) And the bonus is that these FREE printable cards were designed to match the cheerful  Father's Day theme we have going all this week!

DIY Strawberry Shaped Decorated Cookies

DIY Strawberry Shaped Decorated Cookies

Before we get with the tutorial, let me come clean with you. Cookie decorating is not my forte. In fact, I'm slightly scared of them. There, I've said it! Yes, sugar cookies decorated with royal icing scare the heck out of me! No, and I don't have some weird phobia about cookies...it's just that I am not patient at all, and think there are sooooo many steps to decorating cookies that I get bored and don't even bother.  I prefer to oooh and aaaah other people's creations, and so for my parties I often seek the help of the amazing professionals out there.

Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar Recipe

Today I'm joining Kim from The Celebration Shoppe to feature one of our fave parties/party ideas from last month's joint linky - So when you're done here, hope over to Kim's blog to check out her featured fave! ;) There were so many gorgeous party ideas linked up, and picking just one was reeeeeally hard!! But since we're all about strawberries this week here on the blog, I decided to feature a strawberry-flavored party idea by Mariah from  Giggles Galore  -  Strawberry Shortcake in a  Jar!

Strawberry Cupcakes & DIY Fondant Strawberry Toppers

Strawberry Cupcakes & DIY Fondant Strawberry Toppers

I made these cuties for a mini strawberry themed desserts table I styled recently. And since it's strawberry season (even if the sun refuses to come out...), I'll be sharing my strawberry themed party recipes with you all this week in the hope to kick start the summer good and proper!! Anyways, it all turned out pretty yummy and cute too, don't you think? So it's good to know that if I can, you most certainly can too! ;)

To quote a dear friend, " Patriotism comes in many forms and colors..." And in this spirit, I joined The Purple Pug to create these colorful and funky  FREE 4th of July printables , mixed in with the more traditional Red, White and Blue!  She made the fireworks banner (complete with glitter bling!), and I re-worked the colors of the 4th of July Printable Bottles Wrappers  to match her awesome palette! It's fresh, unexpected, " dazzling party drama " and totally FREE for your to download and enjoy - on July 4th or any day of the year for that matter! ;)
