These are known as shadow boxes as well. You can get these in most craft stores. You want to fill the scrap box with items, pictures, and trinkets that have some meaning to the dad.

Custom Tie
A simple project that many fathers will appreciate is a custom tie. These are so simple that children can take part in the project. You can make a custom tie with a simple strip of fabric that you select. There are templates freely available online. You can embroider or dye the tie. You could even attach little items or self-adhesive printed photos. Sewing the tie takes very little time. A custom tie will be a welcome Father’s Day gift that will regularly be used.
Custom Coasters
The final idea is to create some fun custom coasters for Father’s Day. You want to make coasters that reflect the personality and interests of the father. This could mean movie scenes, sports logos or the faces of the rest of the family. You can find the images online and print them. You could also cut them out of magazines.
