How to make a DIY Mother's Day gift?

Gifts to loved ones require special attention, because the more individual and original the surprise, the more pleasant it is for the recipient. But if friends can be presented with something humorous or provocative, a sister or brother - something personal and comic, then with parents is a completely different story. Parents expect a surprise from their child most of all, because it is he who can amuse them with his souvenir, and surprise, and even make them cry.

At the same time, the main thing is that the mother will be delighted with any trinket, and if it is made with her own hands, then the joy can be indescribable. And no matter how old you are, you can make a craft for your mother at any age, because we always remain children for our parents.

A budget option for a gift to please a loved one usually consists of an original idea, sincerity and sincerity of a souvenir. Therefore, doing something with your own hands would be a great decision for Mother's Day. The main thing is not to be lazy and to convey with a surprise all the love and warmth that you feel for a person.

For convenience, you can consider several examples of making souvenirs for mom with your own hands. In addition, you can use the previously described ideas and combine with ready-made examples.

What you need:

• bright fabric for creating a bud;
• green fabric to create the stem;
• wire for stiffening the stem with leaves;
• filler for bud and stem (cotton wool, synthetic winterizer, fabric);
• little embroidery skills.

Next, you should follow the steps in sequence.

1. Sew the stem out of green fabric according to the pattern with a small margin of size. Unscrew the workpiece so that no seams are visible.
2. Fill the stem with filler.
3. Thread the wire into the stem and cut off the excess.
4. Sew a bud out of a bright, delicate fabric and turn it inside out.
5. Fill the bud with filler.
6. Sew the bud to the stem and remove excess seams.

The result is a soft and beautiful flower that can be presented in a basket or made from fabric.

What you need:

• a flower pot or other container for a cactus;
• earth, sand or other filler similar to earth;
• flat pebbles of various shapes and sizes;
• white gouache, proofreader or white marker;
• brush.

Sequencing.

1. Pick out flat stones that look like cactus and rinse them.
2. Paint the pebbles green.
3. Apply patterns to the resulting elements of the cactus in white to make it look like a real flower.
4. Pour soil into a pot and insert into the resulting pebbles, placing them close to each other. Then sprinkle a little more soil on top.

The result is a cactus, which is impossible to prick into, but dropping it on your leg seems to be a dangerous serious injury. Therefore, it is better not to put this surprise on the shelves so that it does not fall on anyone.

What you need:

• Styrofoam or packaging cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue;
• red corrugated paper;
• red and white braid;
• candies.

Sequencing.

1. We cut out the heart from foam or packaging cardboard.
2. Apply red corrugated paper on top of the workpiece.
3. We glue the heart with red, and on top - with white tape. We glue the candies to the heart.

It turned out to be a delicious and bright gift that can decorate the table and please mom.

What you need:

• white sheet A4 or A3 (depending on the size of the postcard);
• 2 sheets of A4 or A3 colored paper (red and purple);
• PVA glue;
• scissors.

Sequencing.

1. Fold the white sheet in half.
2. We connect 4 fingers of the hand, and protrude the big one, circle the hand.
3. We cut out the resulting element, we get connected palms.
4. We carry out the three previous points with purple paper. We make a large workpiece half a centimeter.
5. We glue both elements.
6. We cut out a heart that is suitable in size to put it in “hands”.
7. Fold the heart like an accordion and glue it to the palms.
8. Then you can decorate the heart with flowers and a pattern, and write warm words on your palms.

You can make several levels, that is, on top of the main layer and the second one, more colored papers of large sizes can be glued. Then you get a brighter, larger and more dense postcard.

What you need:

• candle;
• the photo;
• glue;
• a jar of matches;
