18 DIY Gifts for Dad

There’s no need to spend a ton of money on gifts for Father’s Day. Not when I have a collection of 18 DIY Gifts for Dad that you can make in your very own home. Dads usually want you to save money after all, right? You might as well follow Dad’s advice and save a little money by making him a handmade gift from the heart.

If you love to receive gifts, raise your hand! I’m pretty sure anyone reading this post right now has their hand raised. It’s our human nature to like and appreciate gifts. Maybe it’s because we like things, maybe it’s because we don’t like to spend money on ourselves, or maybe it’s because it makes us feel loved.

As much as I love a good store-bought gift, I appreciate a handmade gift much more. My sister-in-law makes me gifts, and I love opening up a package from her. Why?

Because my mom taught me when I was young that the gift received doesn’t matter, but it’s the thought behind it that really counts.

Some of the little handmade gifts people have given me over the years have meant so much more to me than expensive ones because I know the thought, effort and time put into them. So if you want your dad to feel special for Father’s Day this year, why not take the time to make him something special? Here are 18 DIY gifts for Dad to get you started!
