Apron
A lot of fathers like to grill or cook, and an apron is an easy and fun gift for a kid to make. For this craft you will need a plain apron, a pencil, a ruler, and fabric paint. Start this gift by helping your kids decide what to write on the apron. #1 Dad and Grill Master are both good ideas.
Then help kids write the message on the front of the apron, and use the fabric paint to outline it. Using bold, bright letters makes the apron really stand out. Let the paint dry overnight before giving the gift to your dad.
Painted Tie
Another wearable Father's Day gift that kids will love making is a painted tie. For this craft you will need liquid dye, a light colored tie, and a paintbrush. Covering the work area with newspaper will make clean up easier.
Let kids use the dye to paint a pattern on the tie. Let the kids vary the amount of paint and colors to create interesting textures and designs. Let the tie dry completely before rinsing the excess dye out of the fabric.
Personalized Hat
This project is simple and will make any dad smile. For this project you will need a patch that is perfect for your dad, fabric glue, and safety pins. Help kids decide where the patch will be positioned. You can mark the area with chalk if it is available. Then add glue to the back of the patch.
Help kids attach the patch to the front of the hat and secure with the safety pins. Allow the glue to dry overnight, and you have created a great gift for Father's Day.
These wearable crafts are great gifts for any dad. Kids will love giving homemade gifts to their fathers, and wearable gifts are even more fun for kids. Try making these crafts with your kids for their dad's special day.
