Father's Day is around the corner and will be here before you know it! But what will you make this year? Designer Robyn has a fresh Father's Day gift idea for you. Pick up a wood plaque or board, Glue Dots, lettering, and a few extra supplies to make a photo board.
Designed by: Robyn Power
Time: 1 hour
Level: Beginner
Size: Varies
Who's ready for Father's Day? Do you have a hard time coming up with new things to give as a gift for Fathers Day? Here's a fun DIY that any dad would love to get!
Here's what you need:
- Permanent Glue Dots®
- For heavier items, use Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser or All Purpose Dots®
- Wooden Plaque (I used one that was just over 20 inches long)
- Lettering
- Americana Decor MAXX Gloss paint (This paint works great and you only need one coat!)
- Paint brush
- Clips or clothespins
- Nuts, bolts, washers, screws
- Photos
Here's what you do:
Paint your wooden plaque and let dry.
Apply your lettering (I used vinyl letters, but stickers or painted letters work great too!). Leave the D in Dad hollow so you can apply embellishments.
Use your Permanent Glue Dots to adhere the nuts, bolts, and screws inside the D for Dad or around your board. Tip: For heavier items, use Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser or All Purpose Dots®.
Apply your clothespins/clips to the bottom of your plaque with Permanent Glue Dots as well and place photos on each clip.
I love how this turned out! So much fun and brings back smiles and memories! AND I bet your dad doesn't have one!
Happy Father's Day to all of you wonderful dads out there!

Hi! I’m Robyn and blog over at Create it. Go! I live in beautiful Northwest Arkansas and love being outside. I’m a mom to five fun, crazy kiddos that I love, ranging in age from 16 down to 4. And I’m a wife to a man that I love laughing wtih! I love to create. I love papercrafting, working with wood, upcycles, repuposes, and DIY’s, crafting anything in general, trying out new recipes, sewing, photography, you name it! I also like to pick up a good book and ignore those dishes and laundry that never seem to go away. haha My life is never boring and can almost always use some re-balancing and simplifying. It’s not perfect, but I love it!
