MOTHER'S DAY CRAFTS THAT SCORE

And what is therefore anything but trash material

You probably also overloaded your mother with gifts you made at school that were actually ripe for the trash, but mothers still kept them incredibly lovingly. And so there is now a box in the attic with clay cups, vases made from toilet rolls, and other crafts that were actually still wet when you gave them.

We're going to make up for that now. Crafting can actually be incredibly fun and certainly results in keepsakes that can be displayed. And it doesn't have to be that difficult, I'm going to tell you. Make the most of it. Fun for you and fun for your mother.

Vases

You probably still have some glass jars lying around that could use an upgrade. That's great. You can spray the outside with spray glue and then dip it in glitter and finish it off with a coat. It can be a really fun idea. Or you can grab some acrylic paint and paint some graphic prints on the vase. Just dots, stripes, or triangles are actually enough. Easy, but beautiful. Just let it dry well.

Presents

Maybe you've already bought something sweet yourself or have no idea at all. In any case, make sure the gift itself is nice enough to receive. Then the package itself has to make a huge impression. So get to work with labels, feathers, and strings to spice things up a bit.

Pot holders

Let's be honest. It just sounds incredibly silly. But if you make them in a nice color and a fun pattern, you can still make something beautiful out of it.

Candles

The garden center is being raided for gifts on Mother's Day, but you can just craft these yourself. You buy some standard clay pots, melt old candles, and pour them into the pot. Let them cool down and you have new candles. Costs almost nothing and you have a really cool gift.

Kitchenware

When I think of a gift for mothers, I quickly end up in the kitchen . So tea towels, plates, saucers, cute cups, and who knows what else. There's nothing wrong with that, but give it a little extra. You can give wooden spoons a color, for example.

Tea towels

If you really want to make an impression, then you get to work with stamps and tea towels. You can make stamps from potatoes (knife, potato, shape, and cut away) and dip those stamps in paint. It doesn't get simpler than that, and you can just press some things onto paper or fabric. Hearts, for example. Or other fun patterns.

Cards

Really, really no inspiration? Then you quickly put together a card yourself. I always provide every gift with a card. I like it, and it actually doesn't matter what is in the package anymore, because the outside distracts enough. Pay attention to the card. Write or stamp the name nicely, add a pretty ribbon, some fun tape; nothing can go wrong anymore.
