In our home Disney and Christmas go hand in hand, so we usually have lots of DIY Disney crafts up along with our holiday decor. 

So today I am sharing my favorite easy Disney DIY Christmas crafts that your whole family can make at home this holiday season!

DIY Disney Mickey and Minnie Ornaments by For the Love of Food

One of the most incredible things about Disney DIY is that its mascot has one of the most recognizable silhouettes ever. Make some minimalist Mickey ornaments that fans of any age will spot immediately.

Looking for an easy last minute Father’s Day craft?

I am sharing these Custom D-A-D Letters as a cute gift idea and three different ways to make them!

Scroll down for the details and photos of this easy DIY idea 3 ways.

My girls on a bowling date with their Dad last year for Father’s Day!

1. Painted Decorated Wooden Letters

This is the easiest and cutest craft in my opinion, especially for elementary school age kids.

Use either wooden or cardboard/paper mache 3D large letters from the craft store. 

My crafty girls love to paint so this craft was right up their alley. 

We made these painted letters last year at the USO.

Each girls painted one “D” and they collaborated on the “A”.

Father’s Day crafts in under 30 minutes ( and not too much mess)! 

This is such an easy and colorful craft to display. Ashton still has his on his dresser.

2. Photo Letters 

I made these letters as a gift for my husband in honor of his last career in the Army EOD. 

You could also make these to spell out a name or “DAD”. I simply printed photos off my phone and cut them to fit. Then I used glossy Mod Podge to seal it on. 

Hang with strips or display on a shelf as a one of a kind gift.

3. Colored D-A-D Picture

Ok, this is almost too cute for words, right? I traced these letters out on white posterboard and let the girls color (or scribble because they were toddlers). Then I cute them out and took photos of them each holding a letter. The dog even posed with a letter. Then I printed them out and arrange on a collage to spell out DAD. 

Miss Ava thought it was so fun! And how cute is she?!

Stella is usually the comedian but how funny is this child?!

My Stella Rose baby. Always happy and precious!

My sweet Dylan posed too. He was the best dog. 

Another fun craft gift for the win! 

Hope your kiddos (and their Dad) enjoy as much as we did!

How can it be the last week of school already?!

My kiddos are so excited for summer but sad to leave their friends and teachers. So we sat down and created these fun summer themed gifts they can hand out on the last day of school.

I even included printable tags below for you to download and add to your own gifts.

They are the perfect size for attaching to gift bags or small items like sunglasses, ice pops, and bubbles.

AHHH! School’s almost over!

Also check out End of School Year Summertime Bubble Gift Idea For Kids .

I created two summer themed gift tags for the girls’ end of school years gifts.

I love them because they are fitting for just about any summer themed gift from candy, toys, glasses, bubbles, and even drinks.

There are 12 tags on each page. Print, cut out, and attach to your gifts!

I taped some on and others I punched a hole on top and tied on gift bags with ribbon or twine.

When assembling classroom presents I always look for affordable but fun gifts that kids will actually like and use.

This year we decided on a summer theme so I let my girls choose a favorite summer treats to gift.

Ava chose Kool-Aide packets (about 20 cents each).

Stella chose ice pops (about 7 cents each).

Other cute ideas include mini sunglasses and bottles of bubbles.

The tags have a space on top to punch a hole for tying on ribbon and kids can write a note or sign their name on the back.

My girls ready for school and loaded with their gifts to hand out to friends!

Print your gift tags!

We hope you enjoy these gifts and tags as much as we did!

Have a cool summer full of fun and sunshine!

Enjoy these gift ideas and stay cool this summer!

Happy June y’all! I have been searching on Amazon for gifts for a month now, both for Father’s Day and for my birthday this month. My family and I, including my parents, my husband and my kids, like to make Amazon gift lists since we are all Amazon Prime members. So every holiday and birthday we simply log in and pick a gift and have it shipped. I love it because you know you are getting something that they really want and it’s more personal than a gift card.
I had my husband, who is in the Army, make a Father’s Day gift list and most of his choices were military themed. I decided to add a few of my gift ideas to the list and share it with y’all today because I just love all the fun and patriotic presents we found!
This Military Dad Father’s Day Gift Guide makes finding a gift for your veteran husband, father, uncle, brother, or friend as easy as 1,2, 3. Check out our top 20 military themed gift items and let me know your favorite!

New for 2021:
