Five Father’s Day DIY gifts that make sense

With Dad’s day just around the corner, you might be starting to think about gift ideas for Father’s Day. We always say the gift of a handmade item is the best kind as it’s been made by you! It’s personal, unique and one of a kind for one top dad.

We’ve rounded up some project ideas perfect for handmade gifts for Father’s Day.

King of the grill

There’s always that one dad who loves to lead the barbeque. A personalised apron could be a great gift idea for a father who loves to cook. This personalised grill board is great for BBQ accessories and you can even customise it with a name too.

The BBQ Grilling Station project is in Design Space that can be made and saved to your profile here.

Man Cave Vibes

Dads need their space and personalising something for it would make the most perfect gift. A personalised man cave sign or the below bottle opener would be great gift ideas to enhance their space. You could also create iron-on pillow designs, a personalised vinyl decal for wall art, or personalised wraps to go around the beer bottles you could give with the bottle opener.

Personalised Bottle Opener is available to make on Design Space here.

Music Loving Dad

If your dad knows his way around a guitar then a personalised pick box might be the exact thing he needs. You could also make a decal to put onto his guitar or guitar case or personalise a guitar strap with iron-on. This applies to other instruments he might love. If he can’t play but appreciates music you could personalise some headphones or a t-shirt with a favourite song quote too.

Pick project is available as a project in Design Space here.

At one with the outdoors

With the Cricut Hatpress, personalising hats is super easy and makes a perfect father’s day gift. Personalise a hat for dad so he can explore the outdoors with a stylish personalised design that is unique to him.

We have created Infusible Ink compatible ball caps and trucker hats you could use for your gift but you could put iron-on material onto most hats for instant personalisation.

Impressive Etching Gifts

Glass etching looks beautiful and makes the best gifts. Personalise a glass of your choice for dad by cutting a stencil with your Cricut machine and then use etching cream to create the etched look on the glass. Always consult with the instructions for best guidance.

The etched glass project is available on Design Space here.

Make it with a monogram.

Of course when it comes to personalised gifting, what better way to make it unique than with a personal monogram. Design Space now features an automatic Monogram Maker so you can create the perfect design in next to no time. Simply pop in the initials and choose from the preset designs and you have a wonderful personalised gift for Father’s Day and you’ll be in the good books for another year!
