For younger kids it can sometimes be hard to find crafts that they can do for Father’s Day. This is something that is easy for them to do, all you have to do it show them patience. With this craft, all ages can take the time to create something special for their dads on this special day as a thanks.
Materials Needed:
- 1 wood handled hammer
- Sand paper
- Acrylic paints, any colors plus white
- Paintbrushes
- Black fine point marker
- Clear acrylic glaze or sealer
Instructions:
- Sand the wood handle of the hammer to rough up any coating that may have been added. Paint one side of the wooden handle white. Once it’s dry, paint the other side white.
- Decorate the rest of the hammer in whatever fashion you like! You will need to paint one side, let it dry, and then paint the other side. Let dry completely.
- Use a black fine point marker to add any details, such as outlines. It’s important to let the marker dry for a good 30 minutes; otherwise your sealer may cause the marker ink to bleed.
- To monogram the hammer, paint the first letter of dad’s name toward the bottom of the handle (T for Tom, B for Bob, etc).
- In a well ventilated area, have an adult spray the hammer with a clear sealer or glaze. Let dry and repeat for a second coat. Allow to dry overnight.
