When I think of Father’s Day, I think of gifts from the kids, like neckties, golf clubs, and grilling equipment. But every dad needs a fun homemade apron from the kids to grill with on Father’s Day and all summer long. I love it when the kids can make their own homemade gifts like making beeswax rolled candles, a keepsake photo keychain, or a sentimental handprint apple craft for dad.
With this DIY apron for Dad, I used a poem to embellish it years ago (back when I only had two kids) with fabric paint and iron-on photos.
