Most people can find fairly simple yet meaningful DIY projects for mom in May, but sometimes it can be a little more difficult to find some suitable for dad!  Mom has to love whatever you make her, no matter how horrible it might turn out; but dad is more masculine so those projects tend to me a lot more intricate and difficult.  We’re here to change all of that!

A lighted wine bottle is a great gift for dad!  Maybe wine isn’t the way to go, just soak a liquor bottle to get the label off and use that!  Simply drill a hole in the bottom for the cord and stuff with string lights.  You can add a stencil or lettering to the outside commemorating dad’s favorite pastime, or simply leave the label on if dad appreciates a glass every once in a while. 

This would be a perfect addition to the man cave or bar area.

You could create dad’s name, or use the letters D – A – D, mod podge (which is just watered down glue by the way) some printed photos (print them on regular printer paper, they’re easier to manipulate) and the letters and allow to dry.  Once dry, you can secure string lights around the outside of the letters to illuminate!  These would look great hanging on the wall in the man cave or dad’s office!

Another great project, that might require a little more creativity, is this lighted, stencil canvas.  Choose any blank canvas you would like, find dad’s sports team logo in a stencil, or create one using tape (if you’re that crafty).  Once the stencil is applied, paint the canvas in the team colors!  When the paint dries, slowly pull the stencil (or tape) off the canvas.  Once the logo is finished, secure string lights to the back inner border of the canvas and this will make a perfect addition to any room in the house!

This Father’s Day is sure to be a hit!  Did will be thrilled you stepped outside the box, and especially thrilled he’s not getting another tie!
