Crafty Gift Ideas for Mother's Day!

Tatted Anklet

As Mother's Day is just a few days off, we thought you could use a few crafty gift ideas that are simple, affordable, and quick to make!  Your mother or grandmother is sure to love a home-made gift she can treasure.

Flower Pendant

If crochet is your thing, this flower pendant is so simple to create and embellish.  Use any color you choose with all sorts of accent pieces to really set it off: buttons, shells, beads, or brooches!

Body Scrubber

If you are more of the knitting sort, use our free pattern to create a body scrubber for someone special.  Pair it with a sweet smelling bath gel or bath salts and you have a simple, clever gift!  (This would make a nice teacher gift too!)

Crochet Flower Necklace

These lovely crochet flower necklaces are so fun and fashionable.  You will have fun coming up with your own bottle cap centerpieces and mixing-matching colors.

Framed Family Tree

For the sentimental mother, why not create a simple framed family tree from a frame you have on hand or thrift store find?  Use our free printable to make your gift quick to assemble.

Happy Mother's Day!  Don't forget to share your Mother's Day gifts with us on Facebook!

Purple Water Princess Flower

This colorful crocheted flower can be created quickly and easily to adorn a hat, headband, lapel, scarf, backpack or even dress up clothes for your little flower princess.  (I think I will make up a few to give as "Mardi Gras" gifts instead of the traditional beads.)

Made up in several different colors, this ribbon bracelet becomes the perfect accent for your Mardi Gras attire or any outfit!  Another great gift idea that is simple and inexpensive to create.

Angry Birds King Pig

Last but never least, our adorable little friend, the Angry Birds King Pig can double as a traditional "king" themed Mardi Gras gift for your kids or the big kids in your life.  Have fun with the crafts this week and Fat Tuesday!
