Handprint Fish I'm Hooked On Daddy - Father's Day Gift Idea

Fish Keepsake Canvas Craft

Father’s Day is literally right around the corner and let’s face it – dads are hard to shop for. Have you thought of what you will be getting {or making} that special man in your life?

Do need some inspiration to get you going? Then you are in the right place with Glued To My Crafts today! I’m going to be share how my son & I recently created this “I’m Hooked On Daddy” Father’s Day gift with just a few simple steps and materials. Ready to be inspired?

For us, this year’s Father’s Day means more than it ever has in the last two years. As you guys already know, my husband is currently deployed. There is a HUGE ocean between us so I wanted to send him something that was creative & memorable. And of course I had to include my son in the entire creating process.

I also had to take in consideration that whatever we made, had to be mailed in a box. It had to be something durable & practically unbreakable.

So that is how this “I’m Hooked On Daddy” Handprint Fish Father’s Day canvas gift came to life. Find all the details and supply list below. Hopefully you are inspired to make one with your child today, as well!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us on our Facebook page to admire from afar!! #gluedtomycrafts

I'm Hooked On Daddy - Father's Day Gift Idea

Make a one-of-a-kind piece with our “Hooked On Daddy” craft tutorial. It’s a perfect DIY gift that kids can make dad for Father’s Day!

Craft Supplies:

  • Blank Canvas
  • Various Craft Paints
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Craft Paint Brushes
  • Small ABC Stickers
  • Baby Wipes

Directions:

  • First, using your blue paint, you will want to paint “waves” on the canvas.
  • Then using some green paint, add some squiggles for sea-weed on the bottom of your canvas.
  • And here comes the fun part! Your child’s hand-print will be turned into the fish. Because this is a “one shot” type thing, explain to your child what they need to do & do a few test runs on plain paper. Also make sure you have an idea of where you want your fish to be.
  • Once you are sure, just paint your child’s hand with the orange paint and press down on the canvas.
  • Grab a baby wipe and wipe their hands clean.
  • Now you are ready to give the fish life. Using the red paint, I painted a heart for the lips on our fish. I also gave it the power to see, by drawing a green dot for the eye.
  • Then using my black paint, I painted a hook near the fish’s mouth.
  • Let dry completely before adding stickers.
  • The phrase we added to our canvas was “I’m Hooked on Daddy.” But you could also use something like “You are a great catch!” Or “I “fish” you a Happy Father’s Day!”
  • Don’t forget to add your child’s name & year in the corner of the canvas {or on the back} so you can remember when it was created.
  • And you are done. If you want to make sure the stickers don’t come off, paint some Modge Podge over the entire canvas to seal everything in.
  • Then let it all dry completely and get ready to WOW the lucky receiver!

BTW – we also have our printable version of this Hooked On Daddy idea for you to check out today! #gluedtomycrafts
