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®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1016?plpver=1002) 
- For heavier items, use [Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/diy-hardware/1006-2?plpver=1002) or [All Purpose Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1231?plpver=1002)
- Wooden Plaque (I used one that was just over 20 inches long)
- Lettering
- [Americana Decor MAXX Gloss paint](http://decoart.com/maxx-gloss/) (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.

![glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-painting-wood.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/fathers-day/glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-painting-wood.jpg?width=725&height=484&name=glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-painting-wood.jpg)

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.

![glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-words-stencil.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/fathers-day/glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-words-stencil.jpg?width=725&height=484&name=glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-words-stencil.jpg)

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](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/diy-hardware/1006-2?plpver=1002) or [All Purpose Dots®.](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1231?plpver=1002)

![glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-metal-pieces-glued-to-board-with-permanent-glue-dots.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/fathers-day/glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-metal-pieces-glued-to-board-with-permanent-glue-dots.jpg?width=725&height=484&name=glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-metal-pieces-glued-to-board-with-permanent-glue-dots.jpg)

Apply your clothespins/clips to the bottom of your plaque with Permanent Glue Dots as well and place photos on each clip.

![glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-made-by-robyn-power.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/fathers-day/glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-made-by-robyn-power.jpg?width=725&height=484&name=glue-dots-best-dad-ever-sign-made-by-robyn-power.jpg)

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!

~Robyn

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!
