Father's Day ideas

So Father's Day is coming and I'm trying to accomplish the gift aspect of it cheaply, while still putting some thought into what we give him as a family. Harry is honestly the best dad I know. I know, I know - almost every wife says that, but I truly mean it. From the start, with child number 1, he has been hands on and loves it so much. So to honor him, I want to do something special for him. Below are links to the things I have decided to make for him (from me and the kids - with their help of course!). I can't begin to tell you how many hours I have spent on Pinterest trying to narrow this down!

A book about the world's best dad. All this needs is a cheap 4x6 photo book, scissors, washi tape, a printer, and a stapler.


Make your own t-shirt. He actually asked for a new photo shirt from the kids, but I am going to have each one of them create a drawing for him, then use iron-on transfer paper to make the shirt. So he'll end up getting 3 different shirts all reflecting each child's artistic ability. Should be interesting since they range from 4 - 12.

A mustache jar I think this is such a fun idea. Since he likes savory more than sweet, I am going to fill the jar with Combos (one of his favorites). All you need for this is a jar, something to go inside, and a printer.



A subway art print. All you need is a printer and a frame.



And last, but not least, what's a special day without a card? I've downloaded a few choices and will print on card stock. I will try to find a "brownish" card stock like the picture because I think it looks good. I'd also like to go back and print the 'stache printable on a brownish stock also.
