Everyone seems to be so on top of things for Mother’s Day and then Father’s Day rolls around and you’re scratching your head thinking, “How did it get here so fast?” At least, I hope it isn’t just me that this happens to. This year, I think I’ve finally figured out why. Father’s Day falls in the summer right after the kids have gotten out of school; your routine gets thrown for a loop, and before you can get things back under control BAM! It is upon you and you are so not prepared. This year, to help you (and me) out, I’ve curated a list of 20 DIYs for Father’s Day that range from simply printing out something to a more elaborate but inexpensive craft. No matter where you find yourself on the spectrum you will find something here to celebrate dad!
