More Mother’s Day Craft Ideas!

Here are some more easy craft ideas for Mother’s Day!

Tissue paper flowers: With the help of an adult, cut 2or 3 inch circles out of tissue paper.  Attach with a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) by slightly poking a hole through 6 tissue paper circles.  Have the child crumple each circle individually in the shape of a flower.  You can make 3 or more flowers to make a lovely bouquet.

Decoupage vase: Using tissue paper or magazine pictures, cut out or tear assorted shapes.  Glue them with a white glue to an empty water bottle or other long necked plastic bottle.  Place the paper over the entire bottle.  Finish with a coat of a clear glaze, like Modge Podge.  You may want to place fresh flowers or tissue paper flowers in the vase.

Construction paper cards: Using colored construction paper, cut the shape of a butterfly, flower or a heart. Fold in half so the card is symmetrical. Have the child decorate the card with stickers or peel and stick foam stickers. Add a Mother’s Day poem to the center of the card

Wood Jewelry Box: Decorate a store bought wood box with paint using a sea sponge.  Have the child dip the sponge into a paper plate with assorted paint colors and gently dab the sponge on the box, creating different colors and textures.  Let dry.  Seal the box with a glaze.  Decorate with assorted plastic gemstones and pearls.

Potpourri sachets: Buy store bought dried flowers or potpourri.  Cut a 6 inch piece of nylon tulle or other lightweight cotton fabric.  Place the potpourri in the middle of the fabric and help the child place a rubber band around the edges.  Secure the sachet with a satin or other ribbon.
