Father’s Day Gift and FREE Printables!

June 8, 2012 By

Hey guys!

I decided to make my hubby a little something for his office for Father’s Day this year!  I used one of my very favorite ‘Daddy’ sayings to make this project.  Here is how it turned out…

I made the printable in 3 different colors to give you guys options.  These are so easy to print.  You just click the printable you want to open the pdf file.  Then, just push print from your top browser bar… Simple! Oh… And free ;-) !

Father’s Day Gray Printable

Father’s Day Black Printable

Father’s Day Brown Printable

Now for the project…

You will need one 2×10 board from Lowe’s or HD.  I bought mine for $7.27.  Cheap!

I cut one piece at 11″ and another piece at 7″.  You can also have the hardware store cut it for you!

I used a new stain color on these!  Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than Rust-Oleum Dark Walnut, I found Kona!  LOVE, LOVE!

It only took one stain and dried super fast!

I decided to use the gray printable for my hubby.  I printed it on regular white card stock.  Then, I just trimmed the extra edge off.

I attached my printable to my big block using these bronze furniture tacks that can also be found at the Lowe’s.  No need to glue or use Mod Podge… Just hammer it on! So easy!!

I also printed a 5×7 picture of all the kiddos.  You can do 1 hour developing at Walmart for under $2 if you prefer that!  I used the tacks again to attach my picture to my other block.

That’s it… Under 1 hour and under $10… Woohoo!  And I know my hubby will love it.  That’s the best part!  What do you think??

I would love for you to PIN and share this below!! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a great weekend!!

    Love this! Do they stand up on their own or do they have something attached to the back so they won’t fall over?

    Hi, just got done staining the wood, can’t wait to see the outcome. I have a question, do you use rustoleum for a reason other than just loving the product? My HD didn’t carry that (I even brought the iPad to show them). I ended up buying miniwax stain in something similar to kona. There are SO MANY other projects I want to try and will hunt down rust oleum if need be. Thanks! I’m addicted to your site!! :)

    K, I really would love to make these, but I have the same question posted by another person, do they stand on their own or did you put something on the back? Thanks!

  • Ashley

    Whitney, would you be able to make me a printable for a soon to be first time daddy– with a son on the way. I really like the Daddy…”A son’s first hero” idea, unfortunately since he doesnt have a daughter the other line doesnt really apply…yet. Could you email it to me if you have the time.
