If you have no idea what to get your dad for Father's Day, you could make this adorable yet masculine Father's Day DIY Bookmark. For this easy paper craft, you will make a bookmark out of an over-sized manila shipping tag, decorate it with specific inks and stains, and top it off with a wonderful mustache. You can put your own message on this bookmark template to make it like a Father's Day card if you have other Father's Day craft ideas for gifts, too. You can never go wrong with DIY Father's Day gifts.
