# Miniture Tot Tie Tacks Kids Can Make These Tie Tacks as DIY Father’s Day Gifts By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-06-03 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-fathers-day-gifts References: [handmadecharlotte](http://www.handmadecharlotte.com/coolest-diy-fathers-day-gift-ever/) & [ohhappyday](http://ohhappyday.com/2013/05/shrinky-dink-fathers-day-gifts/) These cutesy DIY Father’s Day gifts are great for crafty kids. The ‘Shrinky Dink Tie Tack’ lets dads carry their kids around with them wherever they go. To create these adorable DIY Father’s Day gifts, kids will need the following supplies: super glue, a picture of the kid in question, plastic print sheets and a tack backing. The idea is to make little Father’s Day tie tacks for dads that are actually shrunken pictures of their children. This is a cute way for young kids to give their dads a meaningful handmade gift. Making tiny portrait keychains for dad is also an option. You’d simply need a bare keychain instead of a tack backing. This still allows parents to carry their kids photos around in their pockets. This craft project offers an inexpensive way for youngsters to create a Father’s Day gift. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Father's Day Gifts:** Creating DIY Father's Day gifts presents an opportunity for crafting industries to market their products to children and families during the holiday season. - **Shrink Plastic Crafts:** The increasing demand for shrink plastic crafts represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for craft supply stores and manufacturers. - **Personalized Accessories:** The trend for personalized accessories, such as miniature tie tacks and keychains made from children's photos, presents an opportunity for customization-focused industries to capitalize on the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Supplies:** The demand for DIY Father's Day gifts presents an opportunity for craft supply stores to market their products to children and families during the holiday season. - **Manufacturing:** The increasing trend for shrink plastic crafts presents opportunities for shrink plastic manufacturers to create and sell new products. - **Customization:** The personalized accessories trend presents an opportunity for customization-focused industries to create and sell new products to consumers looking for unique gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Leather Keychain Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-keychain-kit.md) - [Celebratory Dad Donut Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-donuts.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [3-D Card Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/6-popup-animal-cards-to-make.md) - [Tape Crafting Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-tape.md) - [Redesigned Father's Day Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-redesign.md) - [Pet Waste Bag Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-poop-bag-cards.md) - [Miniaturized Doll Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doll-carrier.md) - [Festive Father's Day Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-doughnuts.md)
