Before IKEA, men used to build things from scratch. Do DIY projects.
The pride of building something never leaves the eyes of the builder, and the sparkle comes out every time that someone is using the item: “Yeap, I made this with my own hands!”
Father’s Day is just around the corner and if you, or your dad, have a tiny piece of this “builder” in you, how about making something together?
Do it especially if it has been awhile since you spent some quality time with your old man.
We scoured some great and useful DIY projects that you can make with your dad, from beginner to a little more advanced level.
If the result of the project turns out great, you can even make a little bit of extra money by selling it on Ebay or Etsy.
If not, at least you are going to have an amazing time with your dad.
(N.B. Go ahead and place the beers in the fridge so you can use them for celebrating once you guys are done with the project!)
Ok. Let’s get our hands dirty and do this!
Simple. Sturdy. Manly. What else comes to mind when you look at this?
