These DIY wood frames make the perfect Father’s day craft! Kids can decorate the plain frames with colorful washi tape - an easy craft supply for all ages to work with. We chose to use the primary and patriotic washi tape paired with self-adhesive foam shapes. You and the kids can choose a theme that Dad will love. Once you demonstrate how to cut the small pieces of tape and fold them onto the frame, your kiddos will catch on and be able to finish!

To cover the corners, place the tape at a diagonal. Fold over the tape on the side and use scissors to trim the tape off the top edge of frame.
