Ideas for DIY Father's Day Gifts

Coffee can treats: clean out a coffee can. spray it with primer. put baby's handprints all over. fill it with daddy's favorite treats (chex mix, cookies, etc.).

I think it would be cute to have a homemade card go along with it that reads this poem:

My hands were once so tiny.
I needed so much care.
Thank you so much, Daddy,
For always being there!

Father's Day Screen Printed Tee: I think this would be so cute for Boston to wear on Father's Day. This is from giverslog.com:
We used the fantastic tutorial for a DIY screen-printed Tshirt posted this spring in Tangled & True. Everything went exactly according to plans. I love when projects work out that way. Visit the original tutorial for the full details, but the process was simple. Trace a design onto freezer paper, use an exacto to cut out the parts that will be painted (saving the little “islands” that need to be put back in the center of letters or designs), iron your newly made stencil to the shirt, and then paint using a brayer. The stencil adhered well and came off easily while the paint was still wet, and we had no problem getting nice crisp lines
