As a young girl, I remember creating projects and crafts for my mom ahead of Mother’s Day. Whether it was a simple homemade card or a handprint photo frame, my mother cherished those gifts, displaying them on our mantle at home and on her desk at work.

Mothers Day DIY Gifts

Over thirty-five years of celebrating my mom each year means that it can become a challenge to think up new gift ideas. If you have the time and a bit of creativity, a DIY Mother’s Day gift is something mom will cherish forever. Irrespective of the cost, mom will know that you’ve spent time and effort crafting something personal and meaningful.
