The pasta necklace revisited
There are many moms who have received a pasta necklace for Mother’s Day, but many have never worn it. But what if we fix it? You can revisit the famous pasta necklace with a little paint, yarn, and imagination, just like this lovely creation in soft colors. Either way, this necklace is sure to be the favorite piece of jewelry for the lucky mum who receives it! If you add wooden beads or even a pendant, it will make it even more elegant!

Planters for cats
Did you go “oohhh that’s so cute” when you saw this cat-shaped planter? Our understanding is that you will agree (whether it is the little ones or the older ones), this planter is the perfect handmade gift! It only takes a few materials to make this planter: a recycled plastic bottle, scissors, a paint marker, and scissors or cutter (the only part of the DIY that doesn’t require children). To follow the steps, go to Adèle & Louise’s blog. It’s also a great way to teach your child about recycling! By showing him that trash can be turned into gifts, you’ll encourage his imagination!

Love-filled boxes
The DIY might be appealing to you if you do it at the last minute. Besides being easy and quick, it is also very easy to make. The advantage? It’s a totally customizable gift: from the paper to the gifts placed inside, all you need are matchboxes, patterned paper, a pen, tape, and small flowers (it is not a requirement). You can put words of love, sweets, drawings, photos or other small gifts inside the original tutorial (in English) of the Oh Happy Day blog.

Paper flowers are arranged in a bouquet
In addition to being a prized Mother’s Day gift, flowers can add a touch of color and cheer to any interior. Here’s an original, yet eternal alternative to the traditional bouquet of flowers: paper flowers. These floral creations are created simply by sticking crepe paper petals cut beforehand in spirals and superimposing new layers. The floral wires should then be attached to the flowers’ backs. Well supervised, it is an easy DIY for kids that moms will love! You can find the full tutorial on the Birds Party blog.

It’s a pretty card.
A handmade card is a perfect example of how even a little can make others happy. You can make it for just 1 to 2 euros since it requires everyday items that are easy to find. You must bring buttons, cupcake liners, popsicle sticks, and paper cups. Even if you have to buy some of the materials, it’s always more fun when it’s handmade, isn’t it?
A box filled with love notes
In this idea, mom will get to enjoy her gift for several days. Cut out small hearts that you will fold in half and glue three not three together. In each of the facets, the child can write one quality about his mother. You will need to repeat the operation several times to get a large number of messages. Afterwards, place everything in a beautiful glass jar or box. When D-Day arrives, the little one will only have to offer the gift and explain the rules: the box must be opened every morning, and the mother will receive a nice dose of love every morning!
A picture that is literally painted by hand
It is an excellent gift that combines interior decor with a super customized touch. Your child will not only enjoy giving it, but he will also have a lot of fun composing it because, as you know, most toddlers enjoy painting! You can do this by taking a whiteboard and preparing paint in different colors (preferably those that the mother prefers and those that complement the interior) and letting the child’s imagination run wild. Whatever he prefers: handprints or finger drawings!
A keychain is another important item
How about a dolphin, a dog, a cat? What is mum’s favorite animal? Once you know the answer to this question, make a small sewing key ring. The child should start by drawing two identical shapes of the animal on felt, then cutting them out and sewing them together. The animal needs to be stuffed with a little stuffing before the final stitches are added for an even better outcome. Moreover, children have the option to choose realistic colors (such as a blue / gray dolphin) or to follow their mothers’ preferences.
