Let the Crafting Begin! {Super Simple Dad's Day Special}

Everyone knows the best Father's Day gifts are the hand-made treasures, but for some reason in the past few years, I have spent far too long racking my brain on which golf shirt to pick or what barbecue tools he might need replaced and the clever crafts have been an after-thought.

This year I have committed to bringing the children and their #skillz center stage with a series of projects that both fill our afternoons and will be sure to fill daddy's & grandpa's hearts with love. #awwwww

The first thing we are getting started with are watercolor photo mats.  I saw these frames at {one guess} Target and thought we could personalize them in some way for the grandpas. The girls have both been really into their watercolors lately so it is the perfect fit.

There's not much to it.

Buy the frames & disassemble.

We used a black sharpie to include a message and also to give the girls something to "color in" per Natalie's request.

Then they got to work.


We let the paint dry, added in their cute little faces and Voila!
