Nothing says "Happy Fathers Day" better than a handmade gift made with care! This year, you can help your kids surprise dad with a super special craft.
Leather bracelet
You can make this simple accessory with a leather rope. Try knitting it in daddy’s favorite color!
Materials you need: three 1-meter-long leather ropes, binder clips (paper clips will also work), wooden beads (optional), scissors
1. Two ends of the three ropes Lay flat and fold in half. Tie a knot where you fold it in half, leaving a 0.5cm circle at the top.
2. Use a clip to fix the top circle to the edge of a chopping board. Divide the rope into three strands, two strands each, and make one strand of the same color.
3. Start braiding, and when it is 20 cm long, adjust the leather cord and smooth it out.
4. If necessary, you can thread a wooden bead at the bottom and tie it with a knot underneath. Cut off the excess leather cord, leaving 0.5 cm for the tassel.
5. When you want to wear it, just put the posts, knots and tassels through the loop.

Dad’s desk storage box
Materials you need: 3 aluminum cans, metallic paint (3 colors), sponge brush, dishwasher Gloves (optional), colored rubber bands, 3 metal-edged labels, crayons, 2 binding clips
Steps:
1. Paint 3 empty jars with metallic paint and set them aside to dry. (Wearing washed gloves makes it easier and cleaner to hold while your child is coloring)
2. Put a colored rubber band on each jar. You can tie them crosswise to form an abstract pattern, or you can follow the grooves of the jar itself so that the rubber bands are evenly distributed.
3. Let your child write his father’s English DAD, one letter on each label. Put a rubber band through the hole in the label and put it on the jar. Finally, use binding clips to clip the jars together.
Handmade Crown
Make dad a crown using handmade paper and cardboard letters to make dad feel like a king during the holidays.
How to make:
1. Find a dad’s hat and measure his head circumference.
2. Draw the measured length on the handmade paper, cut a strip 12 cm wide, and glue the two ends together.
3. Use an embossing tool to make a star-shaped hollow lace on the top.
4. Press out more stars on the colored paper and glue them to the crown.
5. Glue medium-sized cardboard letters (available online) to colored popsicle sticks, then tape them to the inside of the crown.
Chocolate bars for dad
Dad will love a gift that is as sweet as his little sweetheart. Carefully wrap a super large piece of chocolate and decorate it however you like with embellishments and watercolor pens.
Materials needed: a large piece of unopened chocolate, wrapping paper, regular scissors, lace scissors (optional), tape, ink pad, stickers, watercolor pens, sequins
Steps:
1. Carefully take off the chocolate outer packaging and trace the shape on the wrapping paper. Cut it with scissors, wrap it in the chocolate wrapped in tin foil, with both ends facing down, and tape the two ends securely.
2. Use lace scissors to cut a rectangular label and glue it to the chocolate wrapper. Measure the chocolate to make sure the label is the right size.
3. Dip your child’s finger in the ink pad. Print it on paper, then rotate the paper 90 degrees, and print it again to print a heart. Finally, just decorate it with stickers, watercolor pens and sequins.
