You’ll need a small rock or pebble, a keychain ring, matte mod podge, paint primer and varnish, a sponge, and a map. The full Pillar Box Blue tutorial explains how to create this truly special gift.

Give an old picture frame a new life with some paint, a popsicle stick, and Legos! If your kids have Legos laying around, this gift is perfect for you. First, decorate an old picture frame with paint, markers, or anything else you have around the house.
Then, write a message to dad on a popsicle stick. You can paint and decorate the popsicle stick as well. Next, glue two Lego people onto the bottom edges of the frame. Then, glue the popsicle stick onto their arms, as if they are holding a sign.
Place your favorite picture of dad with family inside the frame!
