DIY Dad’s Brag Book and Free printable

DIY Kid’s crafts for Dad gifts are always a lot of fun around here. You know we are a crafty bunch, but Dad doesn’t want 15 handmade ties or coffee cups. He does love the handmade gifts, but to mix it up we’re doing something new today. We are making a Dad’s Brag Book and I have a free printable you can download so you can make one too. I’m including this in this month’s Craft Lightning Father’s Day crafts theme. You can make a brag book for Dad any time of year. You can also spend far more time than 15 minutes on it if you’d like. For the sake of a quick craft, I’ll share a quick craft tutorial and some tips for a more detailed book. You choose!
