This simple and meaningful craft lets you combine a family photo with a magnetic function; something Dad can proudly display on the fridge, tool chest, or locker. 

Children must be supervised during this craft, as magnets can pose a danger.

What You’ll Need:

  • Popsicle sticks or craft sticks (for the frame)

  • Glue

  • Paint, markers, or stickers (to decorate)

  • A favorite photo (wallet size or trimmed to fit)

  • Adhesive-backed neodymium disc magnets

  • Optional: message banner that says “Best Dad Ever,” “#1 Dad,” or a handwritten note

Instructions:

  1. Build the frame
    Glue four craft sticks into a square or rectangular shape. Let dry completely.

  2. Decorate
    Paint or color the frame. Add stickers, hand-drawn hearts, or funny dad jokes—get creative!

  3. Add your photo
    Glue or tape your photo to the back of the frame so it shows through the opening.

  4. Magnetize it
    Place the magnets on the four corners using extra if necessary.
  5. Add a message
    Create a small paper banner that says “Happy Father’s Day!” or “You’re the best!” and attach it to the front.

Safety Warning: Children should not be allowed to play with neodymium magnets as they can be dangerous. Small magnets pose a choking hazard and should never be swallowed or inserted into any part of the body.

Magnets can be dangerous. Neodymium magnets, especially, must be handled with care to avoid personal injury and damage to the magnets. Fingers and other body parts can get severely pinched between two attracting magnets. Bones can be broken by larger magnets. Visit our Magnet Safety page to learn more.
