DIY- Inexpensive Dad Frame with Quote

I wanted to have a nice framed piece for the special dad in my kids life. ๐Ÿ™‚ I plan to give one to my father in law as well.ย  Sad my dad isn’t here to get one too. But it’s the thought that counts he knows I would make him one in a heart beat.

I love this Flickr- collection.ย  (CLICK HERE) They have all high-resolution LETTERS for you to download and use. All categorized by individual letters. I picked out 3 of my favorite letters – spelling DAD that I thought looked great together.

I made a word collage and then added my favorite father’s day quote / proverb. – ” Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad. “


I purchased the frame at Wal-Mart for 3.00 it really is made to hold 2 – 4×6 photos.ย  The frame measures 5×12

I went to Sam’s and printed off this file that is 11×14 and has 2 of these art pieces on 1 sheet. Simply cut it out, and then put it in the frame. Removing the matt that came in the frame.

I love the details.ย  I have this frame standing on its own easel that I got at my local craft store. But it can easily be hung on the wall as well over his desk ๐Ÿ™‚

I love how it looks and rustic and a fun piece of art work.

If you don’t know us very well yet- we LOVE to share our printables with you. This download is to be printed on a 11×14 with color correction turned off (Both for Sam’s and for Costco). If you have it printed elsewhere be sure they turn off the color correction. This is the exact project I made for my husband and simply sharing my file with you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Then cut it along the outside lines provided to fit your 5×12 Frame.

Enjoy!!!

    Hi. I love your site! What a collection of amazing ideas!!!

    This may be a silly question, but I truly do not understand how to download pictures from Flicker. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Christine- I do not use Flicker. I use box.net you just click download save to your computer and then print it out on your home printer or send it to someplace like costco/sams and they can print most of them on 8×10 paper for you ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope that helps. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love it! I just did this for a guy’s high school graduation present and it was great! (I never know what to get guys.) I was able to make it very masculine and the print looked very professional. Thanks!!

    Yes I send it to walmart or sams or walgreens wherever you want they will print it like a photo. Need to print the appropriate size- you need to print it as 11×14.
