Mother’s Day is an occasion where you can make your mom feel extra special. This year add a little personal touch to your gifts with these simple DIY ideas and say how much she means to you with all your heart while putting your crafting skills in to good use!
01. Fresh from the oven
If you are handy with an oven, this will be a definite winner in the baking department. Follow simple recipes available in the web or invent your own cookie mix. Adding less sugar and healthy ingredients like nuts and oats, which will help to improve taste as well as good health.
02. Mini herb garden
Does your mom love cooking? Then this will be a gift she would definitely love! Use empty curd pots to grow some useful herbs like mint, parsley, rosemary, lemon grass, pandan and curry leaves to create a mini herb garden. The scent will be a refreshing addition to the kitchen.
03. Give a place to her trinkets
This idea is for a busy mom who always keeps losing little jewelry items. Convert a cardboard or a wooden box into a trinket organizer using glitter papers, beads and pearls. A framed metal net is brilliant to hold earrings, and repainted metal tin cans make great bangle holders.
04. Upcycled bottle collage
If you have some great family photographs and a few bottles in different shapes, this could be your next big idea for Mother’s Day. Paint the bottles using bright or pastel shades and use paper clips to fix the photo into a cork. Place random wordings for more effect.
05. For her sweet tooth
Who doesn’t love jams, cordials and pickles without any artificial preservatives? We are sure your mom does too! Gift her a budget friendly, long lasting present such as mouthwatering ‘achchaaru’, homemade tomato sauce or a jar of traditional ‘Lunu dehi’ made with love to spice up her meals.
06. Organized sewing kit
For mothers who sew during their spare times, this will be an extremely thoughtful gift. Using cardboard partitions, convert an old biscuit tin or a plastic lunch box into a handy sewing box. Make it travel friendly by adding a handle, so your mom can enjoy her hobby anywhere!
07. Preserved flower magic
Bring the garden in to the living room this Mother’s Day by designing wall decorations with pressed flowers, the perfect gift for a gardener mom. You can create matching floral arrangements for separate living areas and get help from tutorials to add a touch of color to the overall finish.
08. 53 reasons why
Though there are a million reasons why you love your mom, have you ever told her at least one? Let’s change the norm this Mother’s Day. Write down 53 reasons why you love her in a handmade scrap book and brighten her up each week until the next Mother’s Day!
A personalized gift for Mother’s Day, does not have to come only from an expensive gift shop. Mothers understand the love and thoughtfulness behind every fold, every whisk, and every brush stroke better than anyone. That expression of unconditional love alone, is the perfect gift we can ever give them.
