Dad Will Love These 13 Easy DIY Gifts

Father's Day [1] is coming up soon, and if you're stumped on what to get, why not tackle one of these easy DIYs [2]? Not only will he appreciate the thought you put into a handmade gift, but you'll also be able to save money [3] by making his present instead of buying it.

Beer Cake

Your dad doesn't need a sweet tooth to appreciate his very own beer cake. Load up beer cans, and stack them onto cardboard circle cutouts to create tiers. Tie them up with a ribbon to make it look fancy.

Wine-Cork Key Chain

This key chain is perfect for any wine-loving dad — the design is simple yet functional. Get the DIY instructions here [4].

Homemade Jerky

The way to a dad's heart is through his stomach, so homemade beef jerky will surely make his day. Check out the recipe here [5].

Instagram Canvas Prints

If Dad loves to take photos, then nab one of his favorites and turn it into a canvas print for him to hang proudly on the wall. Even if he's not a camera junkie, you can always use a photo that brings back good memories for him, such as a shot of a favorite vacation spot. Get the DIY instructions here [6].

Coffee Soap

Make this soap for the coffee-loving dad who will appreciate the manly — and not to mention delicious — look and scent. Get the DIY instructions here [7].

Terrarium

Make Dad a miniterrarium for his office, and personalize it by adding figurines of his favorite characters. Get the DIY instructions here [8].

Shadowbox

Piece together a shadowbox [9] with Dad's mementos. Each box should have a theme — perhaps you can create a box that will remind him of his favorite place in the world or a collection of trinkets from his favorite sports team.

Map Valet Trays

Make a decoupage map of an area close to Dad's heart on a tray. Get the DIY instructions from this video [10].

Tie Pillow

Stitch together some of Dad's old ties (the ones he's willing to get rid of, of course!) to create a personalized pillow [12] he'd love to rest his back on.

Man-Cave Sign

Make a man-cave sign [13] for Dad to hang up in his hideaway.

Beer-Bottle Lamp
