Supplies Needed:
COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint (Heads or Tails)
Picture frame
Sandpaper
Drop cloth or protective surface cover
Assorted cardstock
Side profile photos
Craft knife
Paintbrush
Tape
Step 1: Prepare and paint the frame
For this DIY Father's Day gift idea, Oh Yay Studio is upcycling an old picture frame! Remove the back and glass of the picture frame, then use sandpaper to smoothen any rough areas. Ensure the frame is clean and dry, place it onto a covered work surface in a well-ventilated area, then apply COLORSHOT Spray Paint to the frame in smooth, even strokes. Allow the paint to dry to the touch before applying additional coats as needed. Set the painted frame aside to cure completely.
Step 2: Cut Dad's cardstock silhouette
This DIY Father's Day gift idea features colorful silhouettes of Dad and his son! Tape the side profile photo of Dad onto a cardstock color of your choice, then use a craft knife to carefully cut out his silhouette.
Step 3: Cut the kid's silhouette from cardstock
Tape the kid's side profile photo onto a different color of cardstock, then carefully cut their silhouette with a craft knife. You can repeat this process to add multiple people to your DIY Father's Day gif— just use a new color of cardstock for each person!
Step 4: Cut cardstock for the frame background
Cut cardstock to fit the inside of the frame. This will be the background for your DIY Father's Day gift!
Step 5: Apply Tacky Glue to silhouettes
Apply Tacky Glue to the back of the silhouettes, then use a paintbrush to spread the glue into a thin, even coat.
Step 6: Assemble and enjoy!
Place Dad's silhouette onto the background and press firmly to adhere to the cardstock, then repeat to add the kid's silhouette to the project. Reassemble the painted frame with your DIY Father's Day gift inside, then it's ready to gift and display!
