15+ Crafty Ideas For Mother’s Day
1. Inspirational Quote Art
Have a beautiful quote for your mom, or do you just want to tell her how much you love her? How about you frame it? She can put it in her office and show off how much she is loved.
2. Painted Rocks for the Garden
You can make these rocks in all sorts of designs, but I do like the markers for different types of plants. I’d love a set of these in a theme, such as butterflies, spots, cats, etc.
3. Crayon Candles
Finally, a good idea for all those castaway and broken crayons in your life. And when you a mom of young children, you have many of these. I remember a drawer full of them, actually!
4. Plastic Spoon Flower Craft
This is a really easy craft for younger children, using colorful spoons and pipe cleaners. Throw some colored brown paper in a plastic cup, and you’ve got a completed gift for Mother’s Day from your toddler or preschooler.
5. Heart Bath Bombs
These bath bombs are the bomb. Made from simple ingredients, and mom can relax in the tub. A perfect Mother’s Day!
6. Popsicle Stick Frame
Popsicle crafts are fun for the little one because they tend to be easy to use. This makes a simple gift that any child can paint or color.
7. Mason Jar Print Frame
You can upcycle any glass jar for this project. Scope out your local thrift shops.
8. Felt Button Flowers
Pretty, no-sew flowers. You could also make them with something “flatter” for the stem so they could double as a bookmark.
9. I Love You Because
This craft is nice because you can tell mom exactly how much you love her.
10. Jar of Love
Writing out all 365 notes could make your hand cramp, but you know what? Mom is so worth it.
11. #1 Mom Ribbon
Sometimes moms need to be reminded how great they are doing. This would also make a good #1 Dad ribbon, too.
12. Mom Photo Holder
Made out of wood and paint.
13. Mother’s Day Photo Flower Pot Craft
What could be a better present for Mother’s Day than photos of the sweet flowers in her life?
14. Pipe Cleaner Flowers
All you really need for this craft is some colorful pipe cleaners and a small clay pot!
15. Pencil Holders
This is a simple craft, even if a bit monotonous because you have to wrap the yarn around a can. But it would be good for little hands … and also to teach some patience.
