Birthday Crafts for Mom
Each child had a chance to make gifts for various holidays, this is taught in kindergarten, school, various circles, where an experienced teacher can prompt and correct inaccuracies. But for her birthday, mom sometimes has to create a craft on her own. Therefore, visual pictures, and sometimes detailed master classes, will help in this matter.
What kind of postcards can you make?
It is better for kids to choose light versions of products - such that it is enough to look at the picture and repeat it in the form of an applique or drawing.
The simplest paper gift in 5 minutes is a children's card. It is easiest to depict a flower or a bunch on it; simple options are the sun, a balloon and other simple objects. A postcard can be decorated using the following items:
- pencils, paints, felt-tip pens, markers;
- colored paper of different textures;
- pieces of fabric, thread, beads;
- plasticine.
The order in all cases will be the same, and will not cause any difficulties even for a crumb.
- You need to take a sheet of album or cardboard. If the postcard is single, cut off the half - this will be the basis of the future postcard. If it is in the form of a book, then you need to bend the sheet in half.
- Next, a flower is drawn on the postcard or glued from paper, fabric, sculpted from plasticine - depending on which option is chosen.
To make it easier to navigate, you need to keep the original postcard in front of your eyes.
Consider an extremely simple option that a child from kindergarten can easily cope with.
We take the album sheet and fold it in half. Draw five brightly colored balloons on the cover. There may be seven or nine.
- At the bottom we write "mom" on the ribbon.
- Inside the postcard we write “Happy birthday!” In large letters. We decorate the inscription with small hearts.
- Draw multicolored boxes with gifts below.
A postcard can be made in literally half an hour, but the mother of any child will certainly be happy with such a present.
Application is just as simple.
- To do this, you need to cut flower petals from multi-colored velvet paper or fabric. Also make leaves. Any other paper will work too.
- Next, you need to stick a white rectangle on a colored sheet of cardboard, and then place a bunch on this sheet, collecting petals and leaves into flowers.
- You can add beads to the picture.
- Congratulatory text is placed inside the postcard.
- You can draw small hearts, balloons, stars and any other festive attributes around it.
Beautiful bouquets with your own hands
Of course, bouquets are very different, there are both very complex and elementary. For example, a very simple, but at the same time, an original bouquet will be pleasant for mom to receive from her daughter and son. A child of 8-10 years old can quickly cope with this option on his own. For work, you will need the following materials:
- sweets, preferably in bright wrappers;
- long sticks - it can be wooden for sushi, and straws for juice;
- wrapping transparent paper with a light pattern;
- paper ribbons;
- a jar or box that will replace a vase, but you can give a bouquet without it.
The whole process consists in the fact that you need to take sweets, attach several pieces to each tube to get an imitation of a flower. Then collect an odd number of such flowers, wrap with transparent film, tie with bright paper tape. The original sweet bouquet is ready.
Another simple option for which you will need colored felt, tubes and beads.
- To begin with, you have to cut out several multi-colored flowers consisting of five petals. To make it easier for the child, you need to make a template, and then use it to cut out as many flowers as you need.
- The same number of circles need to be cut out. They should contrast with the color of the petals.
- Next, a flower is attached to the tube with glue, then the core. Finally, a large bead is placed in the middle of each flower.
- You can use a regular colored pencil cup as a vase. It is not difficult to glue the plastic bottle over with colored paper, having previously cut off the top.
Such a bouquet will adorn any interior and will certainly delight your mother.
Making a box
The easiest way to make a box is to take a ready-made cardboard box and create any decor that you have enough imagination for. You can glue the box with colored paper or cloth, cover with plaster or plaster.
Next, all that remains is to add decorative elements. Beads, shells, artificial flowers, ribbons will do.
It is worth considering in more detail an interesting version of a very delicate and beautiful box.
- Cut out the heart from thick felt, glue it on thick cardboard. Further, along the entire perimeter, we tightly fasten the knitting needles or any other sticks.
- On them we will wind dense threads used for knitting. We choose any delicate color: pink, blue, lavender, mint.
- Thus, we wrap all the knitting needles, moving row by row upward.
- When the walls are ready, the top row can be decorated with beads.
- The lid is made from another heart. To do this, cut it out, stick it on cardboard. On top of the lid, you can place a ribbon and beads or make a flower from ribbons. This elegant box will be a wonderful gift.
Another option available for making is the use of matches or ice cream sticks. To do this, just any box is pasted over with the selected material, and it is allowed to glue sticks not only vertically and horizontally, but also diagonally, to create patterns.
At the final stage, the box should be varnished or painted in any color of your choice.

Often, adult children are also happy to engage in this type of creativity. This is a very fun process.
From younger students
Younger students can also use certain templates. But there are other options to consider. It all depends on the creativity of the child. Everyone at school age already has certain hobbies.
Someone can sew an apron with their own hands or knit a scarf, and someone can draw a landscape or sculpt a vase. But there are options that everyone can handle, even without special skills in one form or another of creativity.
You can, for example, make a notebook using the scrapbooking technique. In this case, there is even no need to focus on master classes. It is enough to take an ordinary notebook, prepare pictures, beads, bows, even scraps of wallpaper will do, and build a composition on the cover, focusing on your own taste. You can also make pockets for notes inside. All these components are glued with ordinary glue. In addition, you can make a bookmark with some original pendant.
It is enough to look at the process once and you can already create your own notebook.
It will not be difficult to decorate a photo frame and insert a family photo into it, such a gift will also be very relevant for mom. To do this, you need to purchase a ready-made frame in the store, and only then think over which components will be used as decorations.
But using a master class, you can make a photo frame with your own hands.
- To do this, take a sheet of colored cardboard, cut it in half. Draw a rectangle on one sheet with a simple pencil, 2 cm away from the edge, and cut it out.
- Next, we glue two cardboard sheets to each other, and then a stand, also made of cardboard, is attached to the back side.
- We make a small accordion out of orange paper, it is done very simply, like a small fan. We glue it to the lower left corner.
- Cut out several small circles from the same paper and glue them in any order.
- A simple and cute photo frame is ready.
From teenagers
Older children have even more opportunities as hobbies and talents develop, which means that you can make any items you want. There is already an option to give mom a real piece of jewelry. Moreover, it is not difficult to make it - you just need to buy a special fishing line for bracelets and beads, high-quality accessories, beads or pebbles in a specialized store. There are so many options today that you should rely only on your own taste and sense of style.
First, you should draw a sketch of the future jewelry on a piece of paper and decide whether it will be a single bracelet or a set of two or three jewelry. It is worth immediately determining which beads and what color will be used and in what sequence, in what place it is worth fixing the pendant in the form of, for example, a butterfly, a dolphin or a snake.
All these components must be strung on the fishing line in the intended sequence, and then carefully tied and secured with a strong and very neat knot, the rest must be cut off.
Immediately it is worth finding out what mom's hand size is, this is important. A small bracelet will press on the wrist and may tear as a result, a large one, on the contrary, will dangle on the arm and may just fly off.
Here are some simple examples where you do not need to make something yourself, it is enough to place the beads and prepared accessories in a certain sequence.
- Delicate pink and blue beads in combination with flowers and a butterfly made of silver metal will suit any woman and give a good mood.
- More painstaking work, because, in addition to large beads, you also need to work with small ones, but the result is a very beautiful festive blue bracelet.
- An elegant white pearl bracelet seems simple only at first glance. It can become a favorite piece of jewelry for mom and will complement any outfit.
Do not forget that there are also creative gifts that you cannot touch with your hands, but they will be valuable for every mother. If a child has certain talents, he can compose a rhyme or even a song and play it himself, he can prepare a delicious and very beautiful cake for the festive table. The main thing is to express your love to your mother and please her on such a day.
