Looking for a cute homemade Father’s Day gift idea that you won’t cost you a fortune in supplies? Check out this adorable DIY Natural Wood Planter! It’s a fun and easy dollar store craft that kids can make almost on their own, with just a little help from mom. Even if dad isn’t a gardener, he’ll love this fun Father’s Day craft because it comes from the heart! Keep reading after the instructions for personalized ideas on what to plant for every dad!
Collect approximately 50 small natural wood sticks that are about 4 inches long.
Use the scissors to trim the top of the paper cup to about 3 ½ inches tall.
With a hot glue gun, add a strip of glue near the top, middle and bottom of the cup about ½ inch long.
Quickly and carefully apply sticks to the glue on the cup. Make sure that the sticks line up evenly with and a little higher than the bottom of the cup.
Repeat this around the cup until the outside of the cup is covered with sticks.
Use the glue gun and small pieces of sticks to fill in any big gaps that let the cup show through.
Once the cup is covered with sticks, tie a piece of twine around the center in a knot.
Fill the cup with potting soil.
Add your small plant.
Give this cool natural wooden planter to your dad on father’s day!
