Moms never grow tired of receiving gifts from their kids. Like children themselves, each gift is treasured and unique. Want to make her feel extra special on Mother's Day? Try your hand at one of these easy-to-make crafts.
KEEPSAKE ART
Macaroni Kid has a creative foam art project perfect for little ones. Trace and cut out colorful foam hands to be the petals of your flower. Glue a special photo in the middle and write thoughful messages on each petal.
SUGAR & SPICE
Sugar, coconut oil and a few drops of lemon essential oils are all the ingredients needed to whip up a homemade scrub. Add ribbon and a custom label to a cute jar and it's the perfect gift. Visit the Idea Room for other scrub recipes to keep mom's hands and feet silky smooth.
EDIBLE FLOWERS
Not Martha shows us how to make flower pancakes by simply using a squeeze bottle.
ONE-OF-A-KIND PURSE
With purses filled with everything from glue to paperclips, moms are always prepared ... probably more so than MacGyver himself. Make a one-of-a-kind purse from Country Living using her favorite hard-back book with just fabric, ribbon, a button and handle kit.
