Step 1: Elements Used

To make the Father’s Day hanging craft I have used the items listed below:

• Craft Papers: I have used black craft paper to cut the shapes from the template. Also I used a piece of white paper as the message board and red sheet to cut the heart shapes.
• Markers: I used colorful markers to add Father’s Day messages on the white paper.
• Decorative Thread: To align and hang the cutouts I’ve used a decorative thread.
• Scissor: To cut the papers and required elements you will need a scissor.
• Glue: I have used a hot glue gun to stick the cutouts over the thread, however you can use other adhesives that can firmly stick the elements together.
• Fathers Day Template: I have used the template from our website to cut the shapes and the details of the same can be found in the below step.

Step 2: Downloading The Father’s Day Template

This fathers day template features shapes like a hat, glasses, mustache, and hearts.

You can easily download and print this template from our blog. Print it on standard A4 size paper, or customize it with your preferred paper size.

Step 3: Cutting the Shapes

With all the elements ready, let’s start making the Father’s Day hanging decor craft.

First, cut out the hat, mustache, and glasses shapes from the template.

Make sure to print on thick paper or use a cardboard sheet for sturdier shapes.

Step 4: Aligning the Cutouts over Thread

Next, grab the decorative thread and lay it out on the floor.

Arrange the cutouts on the thread to ensure proper alignment, including the white paper piece where you’ll add the Father’s Day message.

Step 5: Adding the Desired Message

Now it’s time to add a Father’s Day message on the white paper before attaching it to the thread.

I wrote “Happy Father’s Day,” but feel free to personalize it with your own message, like “Best Dad” or “I Love Dad.”

I used dark pink and blue marker pens for my message.

After writing it, I added heart shapes around the message board for a finishing touch.

Step 6: Sticking the Shapes over Thread

Now it’s time to attach the cutouts and message board to the decorative thread.

First, I glued the hat shape onto the thread, applying glue where I wanted to place it.

Then, I did the same for the glasses and mustache cutouts.

After that, I aligned and glued the message board at the bottom of the thread.

Once everything was in place, I let the glue dry before hanging the decor in the perfect spot.

Step 7: Hang it around

The DIY Father’s Day decor craft is finally complete.

I mounted it on the living room wall above the couch where my dad loves to relax and read the newspaper.

He was amazed by this special craft, and we had a wonderful evening together as a family.

To my delight, he took the decor to his workplace the next day and hung it up there.

Final Thoughts

As you see, this DIY Father’s Day wall hanging is a heartwarming and economical way to honor the special dad in your life.

The key is getting creative with the materials and personalizing it to make it extra meaningful.

I recommend using thick cardstock or thin cardboard for the cutouts to ensure durability.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different color combinations and embellishments like ribbons or pompoms to add extra flair.

Getting kids involved is a fun family bonding experience too. Most importantly, take the time to craft this with love and gratitude for your dad.

The smile on his face when he receives this thoughtful handmade gift will make all the effort worthwhile.
