3. Beach stone picture frame
As part of our holidays to the beach, most of us collect beach stones because of their sheer beauty. So, now it’s time to put those stones to some quick DIY art and craft sessions.
Things required: Beach stones; Fevicol/glue; Wooden frame
Instructions: Keep your frame on a flat surface. Start by applying glue on one side of the frame and start sticking the stones/pebbles. You need to apply extra glue for the stones to stick and last long. Follow the same process for the other sides as well. On the inside of the frame paste the family’s photograph or just write a simple message like ‘LOVE YOU DAD’ and paste it.
4. Necktie glasses case
Losing glasses around the house and then searching the entire house for it is one thing that families across the world would swear by. So why not make a neat DIY necktie glass case for your dad? Your dad will surely love pulling out glasses from this sweet little case.
Things required: A necktie; Fabric glue, sewing thread; Sewing needles (moms will help in this).
Instructions: Lay the necktie flat with the backside facing up. Measure and mark 17 inches in from the pointed tip, then cut the tie widthwise. Discard the narrow end of the tie. Most ties have a center seam. Using a seam ripper, remove the stitching along the back of the tie at least six inches, to create a pouch for the glasses. Measure eight inches in from the cut end and mark. Fold the tie at the mark toward the pointed tip. Hand-sew the folded-over portion of tie to only the top layer of fabric beneath it. Fold the tip of the tie over to make a flap.
