Father's Day Chalk Photo:
Find a good spot on your driveway and go to work with some chalk. Have your kids pose, step back and snap some photos! (Crafty Texas Girls)  
Business Card Holder:
You'll need an altoids tin, low VOC spray paint, school glue, scissors, a pencil, and recycled paper. Trace the tin on recycled paper and cut it out. Then spray your tin with paint and set to dry. Write "Dad" in the center of the paper in bubble letters and cut it out. Finally, mix your school glue with a bit of water and use the mixture to glue the paper to the top of the altoids tin.

Colorful Coaster Set:
You'll need plain bathroom tiles from hardware store, Mod Podge, felt pads, and tissue paper. Paint a layer of Mod Podge over the tile, then decorate with cut up pieces of tissue paper, apply another layer of Mod Podge over top to seal the coasters. Allow coasters to dry completely and flip the coaster over and add a felt pad to each corner. (Inner Child Fun)
Felt Koozie:
You'll need pieces of felt, hot glue/ hot glue gun, scissors, a pen, and a ruler. Wrap your main piece of felt around a cup Dad typically uses to determine length/size of the koozie and mark felt accordingly. Leave some extra room so you can glue together. Cut felt to the appropriate size. Draw and cut out letters and art of your choice from other pieces of felt and hot glue them to the middle of your main piece. Wrap the felt around the cup again and mark where the felt overlaps. After that,  just hot glue the ends that overlap together. (Crafting a Green World)
