Father's Day is coming up, and you're probably starting to think about gifts. We can all agree that it's the thought that counts and right now for a lot of families, big – expensive – flashy gifts are off the cards. Thankfully, one mum has shared a genius DIY gift, and the best part? It comes in at under $15.

Sarah, who goes by @theseasonalmum on Instagram, explained she saw the idea on TikTok and wanted to try it out herself. Watch the video above. First you need to get yourself two foil balloons , a D and an A, which come in at $1 each from Kmart.

Then it's time for a little photoshoot. Get your kid, or kids, to pose with the D and A balloons, take as many shots as you need to get some variety and to capture their personality. You'll also need two 'D' pictures to make it work.

Sarah used the gold coloured ones for her photoshoot with her son. Head back to Kmart to print out your three photos, which will spell DAD with the balloons once they're lined up in the frame. Photos are 10 cents a print, so you can go nuts with options.
