We’ve been getting ready for Father’s Day and the kids decided they wanted to make their own Father’s Day craft for Travis.
I came up with a creative idea for them to make a DIY Father’s Day card with felt pictures and cheesy expressions. Travis is known for telling his corny dad jokes (LOL!) so these silly Father’s Day greetings are perfect for him.
CRAFT SUPPLIES WE USED
- (Walmart sells poster boards for less than 50 cents!)
- Markers
If you don’t have any poster board available, then you can also for your Father’s Day cards.

HOW WE MADE OUR DIY FATHER’S DAY CARD CRAFTS
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING YOUR DIY FATHER’S DAY CARDS
For each card design, I sketched the shapes onto a felt sheet. It’s really easy to do! I recommend using a black pen or because a pencil is hard to draw onto the felt.
Select the color of the felt sheets you would like to use. You can get felt sheets really cheap at your local craft store or . They’re usually between 20 – 35 cents, depending on the color and design.
After I drew the shapes and cut them out, I used to attach them to the cards. Since my boys are too little to use a glue gun, I did this for them.
Zhen, however, knows how to safely use a glue gun so I let her do it herself while I supervised.
**Remember, the glue gun gets very hot so proceed with caution.**
For the boys, I wrote the Father’s Day greetings onto their cards and then I let them draw on the inside of their cards. Zhen is old enough to write so she wrote her own greeting.
HOW TO FIND PUNNY FATHER’S DAY CARD GREETINGS
One way to create your own punny Father’s Day greetings is to think of Valentine’s Day. Punny greetings are always very popular for Valentine’s Day cards.
If you can’t think of a punny greeting to put on your Father’s Day cards, then I recommend using Google or Pinterest to find expressions your kids will like.
I used Google to find inspiration for our punny food greetings for our Father’s Day cards.
Update: Travis loved the kids’ Father’s Day cards! He chuckled at the puns we created and said, “I always love a good, corny joke.” LOL! 🙂
I hope you like this super easy DIY Father’s Day card craft idea! xoxo
