Mother's Day Crafts

Put a big smile on mom's face with these cool handmade gifts from the heart on Mother's Day.

"Handmade" has gotten a whole lot easier within recent years. Craft stores have all the materials you need to make gifts that look like you bought them in a boutique. If my kids wanted to make me a crafty Mother's Day gift (hint, hint) the items below are what I would want. Or, check out my  handmade card craft videos to make mom a Victorian card with a woven heart envelope or a trendy and sweet card.   

Vintage Label Purse Craft from Don Mechanic Enterprises.

A Vintage Label Purse

This Vintage Label Purse was made using a decoupage technique where paper labels were applied to a wooden cigar box with a bamboo handle. You can usually find the plain cigar box and bamboo handle, along with decorative supplies at Michaels Arts & Crafts stores. Click here for the craft instructions.

Beads from Michaels Arts & Crafts

Cool Jewelry

Jewerly-making is a very popular hobby and craft stores have all you need to make wearble works of art. Perhaps the easiest way to go would be to buy silver hoop earrings or a necklace chain and slide on some designer beads. Michaels Arts and Crafts store has an incredible variety of beads and tools to make cool jewelry for mom.

Happy Mother's Day!
