| Here are a few suggestions for some craft ideas that both adults &
kids can make or do for their Mum on Mother's Day: |
- Make her a home-made card with a
personal message or poem in it. Or maybe send her a FREE Mother's Day Cybercard!
- Paint or draw her a picture of
something she would like - flowers, the family, her favourite animal, a self-portrait.
Make and decorate her a photo frame,
and put a photo of yourself or the family in it.
Plant her a bulb or pot her a plant.
You could decorate the pot yourself. Pick her some wild flowers and arrange them on the
kitchen table in a vase.
Decorate the fridge or white board
with pictures and images from old magazines. Leave her a nice message wishing her a happy
Mother's Day in the picture.
Make her some artificial flowers
using straws, paper, card, tissue paper etc. Paint them up and spray with a little bit of
perfume.
- Make her a homemade herb box or pot. Decorate with paints and/or
stuck on pictures. Fill with herbs and spices.
- Decorate a glass bottle or jar with ribbons and stickers. Fill with
sweets or chocolates. Alternatively decorate a nice chest or box.
- Paint and decorate various stones with faces, shapes and colours to
make homemade paperweights.
