Coming up with a cool Fathers Day gifts delivery online is not an easy task, but coming up with a good homemade gift for dad is even more difficult. If you search the web, you will find out that the homemade gift ideas are pretty much reduced to mason jars filled with candy or nuts, mugs with handprints on them and “World’s Best Dad” stuff, which are not bad but definitely expected.
In this article, we have rounded up some unique and certainly creative ideas from around the web for DIY gifts that kids can make their dads, grandpas or stepdads (with the help of their moms, of course).
Book About Dad Illustrated by the Kids
Most kids love drawing, painting and making up stories, so they will have a lot of fun with this first Father’s Day gift idea. It is an interesting book about a superhero dad, called 
Dad Can Do Anything, that kids can illustrate from cover to cover. Simple sentences are written on top or bottom of each page to tell the story and the rest of the page is left blank for the kid to draw pictures.

This is the perfect mix between a thoughtful handmade gift and an inexpensive store-bought gift that dads will keep for a very long time. We all know that a lot of gifts toddlers and kids make end up in the trash a month later, but this one won’t be one of them.
2. DIY Custom Key Ring From Child’s Artwork
You have probably heard about companies that make jewelry and key rings from children’s drawing. These are very meaningful and unique keepsake gifts that every parent would love. However, these can cost between $90 and $140, depending on the complexity of the kid’s drawing. Since not everyone can afford to spend $90 on a key ring, we can suggest making something similar yourself, using polymer clay.
What you can do is scan a simple drawing, transfer the image onto the clay, cut out the shape, bake it and then spray paint it with silver paint. There is a nice tutorial on how to transfer images on clay and cut out shapes at And Then We Saved. If you are new to working with polymer clay, you can make a simple rectangular key ring and transfer your child’s artwork on it following the instructions in the video on the right.
