Kids Can Make These Tie Tacks as DIY Father’s Day Gifts

— June 3, 2013 — Special
These cutesy DIY Father’s Day gifts are great for crafty kids. The ‘Shrinky Dink Tie Tack’ lets dads carry their kids around with them wherever they go.

To create these adorable DIY Father’s Day gifts, kids will need the following supplies: super glue, a picture of the kid in question, plastic print sheets and a tack backing. The idea is to make little Father’s Day tie tacks for dads that are actually shrunken pictures of their children. This is a cute way for young kids to give their dads a meaningful handmade gift.

Making tiny portrait keychains for dad is also an option. You’d simply need a bare keychain instead of a tack backing. This still allows parents to carry their kids photos around in their pockets. This craft project offers an inexpensive way for youngsters to create a Father’s Day gift.
