Father’s Day Gifts:
A photo collage –
This makes an Amazing gift, which is sure to be a hit with any Father and he can share with the whole family for years to come. Be prepared to help younger kids with this.
What you’ll need
- A frame – depending on how many photo’s you want to use; you may need a bigger or smaller frame. It looks best to use a poster sized frame 16x24 or larger.
- Cardboard – This is to tape the pictures onto, the frame probably already has cardboard which is perfect to use.
- Double-stick tape – You’ll use this to stick the pictures to the cardboard.
- Scissors
- Pictures of the children with their dad; pictures of the children on their own; and pictures of the whole family together
Cut out the pictures in all different shapes to fit onto the cardboard. It’s also a cute idea to make a shape out of the collage; such as, if the Dad happens to be into guitar’s you would make all your pictures together make the shape of guitar. Wrap it up, and you’re kids have a great gift to give Dad!

- A colored printer
- Iron on T-shirt transfers – you can get these at most retail stores that sell office supplies, make sure it will work with your printer
- Fabric Marker’s from your local art supply store
You’ll need to scan in your picture and save it on your computer. Print the picture out on the T-shirt transfer. Use the markers to let your child/ren draw a frame around the picture and write “Happy Father’s Day” 2007 on the back.
