“Best Pop” Handprint Keepsake Canvas For Father’s Day!

You know what I love the most? Handmade gifts – hands down! And with Father’s Day FAST approaching, it’s time to start thinking about gift ideas for the special men in your life!

If you are like me – men tend to stump you when it comes to gifts. But what I’ve come to learn throughout the years, is that with the men who have everything, they love the handmade gifts the best. The more heartfelt, the better and the growing collection in my husband’s office at work, proves it.

Recently my son and I made this “Best Pop” canvas keepsake to gift to our special guy and it’s the perfect DIY present for Father’s Day.

It’s got BOTH of our special touches on it and it was so simple to pull together on the fly.

Wanna learn how YOU can make one with your child? Let’s grab our supplies and get to work – shall we? You can find ALL the details you need to know in the full tutorial below!
