Estimated time to complete gift:
6 hours

Description of gift:
Frame with multiple photo slots containing a homemade personalized father's day poem, foot or handprints and a matching photo.

Materials:
Frame with matte inside with three or more openings
Computer, printer
Photo(s)
Paper
Paint for handprints/footprints
Poem
Scissors
Tape


Instructions:
Choose a photo or a couple photos to include in your frame. Type a poem on your computer corresponding to the photo(s). Then, take a hand or footprint of your child (mine was done at nine weeks so I chose a frame with smaller openings) with paint or handprinting medium. Depending on the quality of the paper you used to do the printing you may want to copy it for a nicer appearance. Then insert the photo(s), poem and prints into the frame and tape them in place.

Other suggestions or comments:
My husband cried when I gave this to him on his first father's day. It is a great item to display in an office or on a photo wall in your home.
