Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Nothing says love to a mom or grandma more than a homemade gift. But, let’s face it, you can only have so many cupcake liner flowers, right? Here are some homemade gift ideas that Mom or Grandma will love for years to come and truly put them to good use.
What you need:
- A terracotta pot of desired size (this is from Joann Fabrics for less than $5)
- acrylic paint in desired colors
- clear acrylic spray to coat (optional-if used inside, the paint will not have an issue of running)
As you see, one of the pots was painted white. I let this paint dry before helping my son to make fingertip flowers on the pot. I painted stems on the flowers. The other pot was left plain with just the fingertip flowers.
What you need:
- Plastic flower pot (this is from Wal-mart for $2.97)
- Acrylic paint
- Kiddo willing to dip their hand in paint and supply the hand print)
What you need:
- picture frame (Walmart for $2.84)
- wooden decorative buttons
- hot glue
What you need:
- Canvas board (I purchased this at Joann Fabrics for $7.99 for 3 canvases)
- Washable kids paint
What you need:
- Terracotta pot tray (size as desired for gift)
- acrylic paint (optional)
- decorative paper
- Mod Podge
For these trays, I painted the terracotta pot trays and allowed them to dry. Then, put the tray down on the decorative paper and traced the bottom. I cut this out just inside the line I drew to fit the inside of the tray. Using Mod Podge, I painted a thin coat on the tray and applied the paper cut out. Then, I sealed the paper cut out by applying a coat of Mod Podge to the top of the paper.
