Hello!
Mother's Day is always a bright and kind holiday. And I want to please my beloved parent with a postcard or portrait. Little children often give crafts and applications that they create with their cute hands. It's very nice to receive such gifts. And those eyes when a child looks into your face and waits for his mother’s reaction!
But, of course, children need to be given an idea and then adults get involved. These could be older brothers and sisters, dads, grandparents, and childcare workers. By the way, let's not forget that grandmothers are also mothers! They also enjoy receiving gifts!
Today is a selection of ideas of varying complexity. Some can be easily completed by preschoolers, while students in grades 4 and 5 will grunt at others.
For inspiration, I also advise you to look at ideas for cards and crafts for March 8th. I didn’t include them here so as not to repeat them.
So, what exactly can you give to mothers? Firstly, flowers. A wide variety, from fantasy to simple daisies and roses. You can also use prints of children’s hands and arms, imitation handbags, shoes, dresses, mirrors, cups with teapots, etc. in crafts. Everything related to the female sphere.
Now let's learn more in the master classes.
Paper crafts with templates for Mother's Day for kindergarten: quick and easy
Let's start with the children of the senior group of kindergarten. I know for sure that they can make a similar bouquet from a fan. Of course, you will need the help of a teacher. At this age, not all children can cut hair evenly with scissors. However, this important activity helps develop fine motor skills.
Making such a bush is quite simple:
- take 1 sheet of double-sided green A4 paper,
- glue,
- scissors,
- pencil and ruler,
- colored paper for flowers.
First, let's roll A4 lengthwise. From the fold side we will draw stripes. Their width can be different: 1-4 cm. We cut them, not reaching the edge 2 cm. The teacher himself makes a line so that the child understands to what mark he can cut.
Then we roll the fringe into a bundle and fix the edges with glue.
Children cut out flowers from multi-colored paper and glue them onto improvised branches.
The next gift option for mom is even simpler. We will make an unusual bouquet. To do this, we take a template, the children paint the flowers and fold them along the dotted lines.
You can take these templates.
Another not difficult option with fans. Take a closer look at it.
The paper is folded like an accordion, connecting one edge. And the upper part is decorated with flowers.
The buds can come in a variety of shades and shapes; here children show their imagination.
Next we make a craft postcard. The principle of nesting is used in the formation of buds. Three circles of different diameters are cut out and glued on top of each other from largest to smallest. We decorate the middle with buttons, bows or hearts.
The material used greatly influences the appearance of the card. This idea made from corrugated paper or fabric looks airy.
Neat kids will be able to repeat a similar idea. Here a circle of paper is taken and a spiral is cut out of it. It is important to explain that it does not need to be cut.
Below are also simple ideas that preschoolers can implement.
Salt dough panel
Such a panel is easy to make, and at the same time it will look very beautiful on the wall of the kitchen or corridor. To create it, you will need:
- salted colored dough;
- a piece of ceiling tile or just white thick cardboard;
- a compass and a stationery knife, a thick needle or awl and thick threads;
- transparent PVA glue, superglue and brush;
- transparent gel polish for nails;
- lid from a plastic mayonnaise bucket.
- Use a compass to measure the inside diameter of the plastic lid and mark it on the ceiling tile or cardboard.
- Carefully cut out the circle with a utility knife.
- Make flowers, leaves and berries from salt dough and glue them to the circle of tiles with glue.
- Stack the leaves and petals on the flowers.
- Cover each element on the panel with clear varnish to prevent the dough painting from getting wet. If you don't have nail polish, use hairspray. But be careful not to spray it into your respiratory tract.
- Glue the finished panel to the plastic cover - it will be a colored frame.
- Use a needle or awl to pierce holes in the lid and thread a string through them. Tie it into a loop so that the panel can be hung on the wall.
If you don’t have salt dough on hand, use plasticine, clay or dried flowers to create panels.
Corrugated paper roses with candy inside
All mothers love flowers and sweets, so if you make a whole bouquet of these roses, she will brag about such a gift in front of everyone. True, you will need to enter into an agreement with dad so that he buys a set of “rafaelkas” or “rochelles” for a bouquet, but I think he will be only too happy to help in such an important matter as a gift for Mother’s Day.
What will be needed for the gift bouquet:
- foil and corrugated paper, as well as green tape;
- wire, glue and scissors;
- sweets.
Let's make a rose. See the photo for step-by-step instructions.
As you can see, everything is simple and clear. All that remains is to collect all the roses into one bouquet and attach a greeting card or ribbon to it.
More ideas for paper flowers are in the video below. Choose what you like and what you can do on your own.
Flowers in a jar
Even primary school students can make such decor as a gift. It turns out very beautiful and inexpensive. You will need:
- a small beautiful jar;
- flowers made of fabric or plastic. They can be easily bought in a store or cut out yourself from scraps and decorated with wire;
- small plastic figurines of butterflies or ladybugs;
- corrugated paper and green threads;
- sparkles, confetti;
- glue gun and scissors.
Everything is done very easily. Glue a composition of flowers onto the roof of the jar from the inside with a glue gun. Glue a plastic figure onto a green thread, and also attach the thread itself to the lid with glue.
Pour cold water into the jar itself (without adding 2 cm to the neck) and pour some confetti or glitter into it. Place the lid with the flowers and the figurine into the jar and screw it tightly. Glue “grass” made of corrugated paper onto the lid.
Turn the jar over. Wow, it turned out to be a beautiful installation!
High school children can make a similar gift for mom using a fresh flower and glycerin. Watch the master class in the video.
Bracelet for mom
Such jewelry will look very beautiful on your mother if you make it from satin ribbon and mother-of-pearl beads. There are a lot of options for bracelets and they are easy to make. True, you will have to persuade your dad to be a sponsor and buy everything necessary for such a gift, but you will do all the work yourself, which means that your mother will definitely appreciate such efforts.
The bracelet assembly diagram is in the photo below.
Photo frame as a gift
Surely there is a photograph in the family that captures mother’s happiest day. But it’s quite possible to make a photo frame for this photo yourself. Why not a gift for mom? The photo frame itself is made of corrugated cardboard, and the flowers and leaves are made of paper or foamiran. Below in the photo is a version of a flower according to the template.
Photo frames are decorated not only with flowers. For examples of beautiful photo frames as a gift for mom, look at these photos.
Felt hearts
There are a lot of options for decorating felt hearts. The main thing here will be the purpose of the heart-gift itself. These can be large heart-pillows and very small heart-keychains. But the sequence of work itself will remain unchanged.
You cut out a heart-shaped template from paper or cardboard, and then use it to draw a blank on the material. The felt itself is folded in half, and the template is traced from the wrong side.
If it is a pillow, then the heart is sewn along the outlined outline, also from the inside out. Don't forget to leave a hole for turning it inside out. After stitching the heart, cut it out, leaving an allowance of 1.5-2 cm from the stitching. Turning the fabric inside out, fill the pillow with padding polyester or synthetic down. Decorate the gift heart with embroidery, applique or beads.
If you are giving a keychain, cut out the heart outlined on the fabric without any seam allowance. It must be sewn from the front side with large stitches using woolen thread or floss. Leave a hole for stuffing and fill the heart with holofiber or synthetic down. Finish the line - sew up the “window”. Decorate as you wish and sew on a ring or make a loop for hanging your keys.
Napkin heart
On the theme of hearts for mom. Those who don’t know how to sew can easily make a heart like this from napkins or corrugated paper (it also wrinkles very well). This is done quite simply:
- cut out a large heart from red cardboard according to the template;
- on the white side of the heart, trace your hand with a simple pencil;
- cut pink and white paper or napkins into strips and then into small squares;
- crush the squares into lumps;
- Glue the white lumps with a glue stick onto the outline of the hand, and paste the pink lumps over the heart;
- Decorate the top with a daisy flower or an inscription.
Alternatively, instead of the outline of the hand, write the word “mom” or “love” and cover it with white napkins.
Fabric tulips
High school girls who already have sufficient experience in sewing can sew flowers from fabric. To do this you will need to be patient and:
- red cotton fabric for tulip heads and green for stems and leaves;
- wire and filler;
- a pattern that needs to be printed from the Internet. For example, this one.
We transfer the pattern to the fabric folded in half (fold it right side inward) and cut out as many flowers as we want to sew. Don't forget the seam allowances (2 cm).
Sew the pieces together, remembering to leave an opening to turn the fabric inside out. We turn the finished pieces inside out and stuff them with filler, and insert wire into the stems.
We collect flowers according to the diagram in the photo and make a bouquet from them.
Installation made of wood and wire
Boys can try their hand at making beautiful installations out of wire and wood for mom. Such interior decoration gifts will be modern and stylish. Mom will be proud of such a gift - that's for sure!
For the work you will need to find a suitable plank or piece of wood. It should be washed well and treated with wood stain, and also varnished so that the wood does not rot or become damp. Let dads help at this stage of the work.
Everything else will be only in the hands of the sons. It’s up to them to decide how to twist the wire, what other decorative elements to add to the installation and how to compose the composition.
What else do mothers get for Mother's Day?
There are a lot of gift ideas. Here children must show their imagination and their vision of what they are going to give. Of course, the easiest way is to take money from dad and go to the store, but remember that a homemade gift will be more expensive for mom than all the gifts bought with money. Don't know what to do? Look for inspiration from friends or on the Internet. Here are two examples of video ideas for DIY gifts.
Or here's another list for ideas.
- Do you like to cook? Make cookies for mom in the shape of hearts and letters that spell out the words “mom” and “love.”
- Do you like weaving or embroidering with beads? Mom will definitely love a bauble or other decoration made from it, and there’s nothing to say about a beaded picture in a frame.
- A photo collage will be a great gift for your mother and will fill her with joyful memories of the days spent with her children on this day.
You can also give:
- a beautiful box with a surprise or a box for small items and jewelry;
- a jar with wishes and sweets. In a beautiful jar, put small notes with wishes for your mother and various sweets, candied fruits and mini chocolates;
- handmade soap or a candle with your mother’s favorite scent.
High school students can make a slideshow for mom from all the photos they find at home. There are even special templates for such photo greetings on the Internet.
So come up with gifts yourself and be inspired by existing ideas. Moms will love everything. After all, the main thing for them is not the gift, but the attention and love of their children.
DIY Mother's Day Gift Ideas
DIY voluminous flower without glue for 3rd grade students
Now let's start making beautiful voluminous flowers. We don't need glue here.
For 1 flower you need:
- 2 sheets of A4 paper: white and purple,
- 1 green leaf for the stem,
- scissors,
- scotch.
Take 1 leaf for the flower and fold it in half lengthwise.
Let's step back 2 cm from the bottom and measure the line. Now from the fold we begin to make cuts to the marked line. Their width is 2-3 mm.
Now take 2 white sheets for the flower, fold them in half and draw a similar line. And we also cut as before.
Open it up, measure one side at an angle and secure it with tape on both sides.
We take the white part, turn it inside out and secure the sides with tape, also moving one part of the strip 2 fingers to the right.
Now we make the stem. Fold a third of the sheet and cut it off.
We start from the corner, wrapping it into a tube, and secure the edge with tape.
We take a white strip, tear off the tape, glue part of it onto the strip, and put the stem inside.
We twist the white strip around. Secure with tape.
Now take the lilac strip. We glue tape to the edge where it is shifted, put in a flower and wrap it.
Secure the bottom with tape. Let's fluff it up.
You can use paper of the same color. The upper petals of this flower are more round, and the lower lilac petals are sharp.
Surprise for a keen lady
If your grandmother cannot sit idle and constantly comes up with new activities, Mother's Day is an excellent occasion to help her realize herself in her hobby. Choose a surprise that is related to her hobbies:
- Yarn, threads, new knitting needles - for those who cannot imagine themselves without knitting. Such a surprise will inspire its recipient to create new handmade masterpieces.
- A new set of gardening tools or seeds of rare plants - for an avid summer resident or owner of her own plot.
- A book for recording culinary recipes so that you always have a cheat sheet on hand on how to prepare your dear grandchildren’s favorite dishes.
- A set of essential oils and an original felt hat are suitable for those who cannot imagine their life without a hot bath.
- A ticket to a theatre, concert or opera is a great opportunity to satisfy your cultural hunger. It's great if you can join your granny at this event.
In addition to the above surprises, you can pay attention to the many master classes and courses for adults for every taste. Who knows, perhaps, after attending several classes in a completely new field, your relative will surprise you with new talents and find a hobby in which she will immerse herself headlong. It’s not for nothing that they say that it’s never too late to learn.
If you don’t have the opportunity to congratulate your beloved grandmother on Mother’s Day in person, send her a telegram or order a beautiful bouquet that will be delivered by a courier on your behalf.
Appreciate the time you spend with your loved ones. And if suddenly you now find it difficult to remember the last time you saw or called your grandmother, it’s time to correct this mistake.

- sheet of A4 base paper,
- decor,
- glue,
- scissors,
- pencil.
Take a sheet of paper and trace the child’s hand.

We take an A5 base for the craft. We place the handles slightly crosswise. We turn the edges at an angle of 30 degrees and bend them over the card.
We fix this fold with glue from the inside.
So that the reverse side is not visible, we take an A4 sheet. And we glue the part with handles onto it. And we decorate them. You can glue rings or bracelets.
Take a 4*4 square, fold it in half twice and diagonally, cut out a droplet, unfold it and get a flower.
Apply glue to the tip of the flower and decorate the craft.

Angels for Mother's Day - quick and easy
All children are angels. Therefore, now there is a wonderful template for you to use to make such beauty.
Girls differ in hair and dress colors, choose any one.
These little angels need to be folded. Usually they are obtained even without the use of glue.
Soft fabric tulips
This craft is more suitable for girls who have minimal sewing skills. For production you will need:
- small scraps of fabric, different prints, including green (for the stem);
- filler - a budget option - cotton wool; in other cases, padding polyester is ideal;
- scissors, thread, pencil or soap.
The pattern is made based on the diagram. You can print the template in advance, which is freely available. Then everything is simple, you need to connect all the parts with threads and assemble a beautiful bouquet. Any housewife can make a gift for her mother from her daughter with her own hands.
Master class on how to make a 3D card with tulips for mom from colored paper and cardboard
Now a more complex and time-consuming gift: in front of you is a three-dimensional 3D postcard. This is what it looks like from the front.
And when you turn around, a fan of tulips opens.
Let's take:
- blue cardboard,
- colored paper,
- pencil,
- ruler,
- glue stick,
- scissors,
- tape.
Take blue cardboard, fold it in half and measure 15 cm from the beginning. Place a ruler and draw with scissors to leave a mark. We fold the cardboard in half and we get a very smooth and beautiful base without creases or bends.
Cut out three thin green strips and glue them to the front of the cardboard.
Making a template for flowers. To do this, take a sheet of paper, fold it in half and draw half a drop from the fold and draw a tip from the edge, cut it out and you get a tulip.
You need to prepare 1 tulip of red and white colors. And three yellow parts to get a voluminous flower.
Fold all three parts of the tulip in half. Glue its sides together.
For the volumetric part inside the postcard, take green paper: 2 strips 10 cm wide, 2 strips 7.5 cm, 2 strips 5 cm.
We fold both strips of the same width like an accordion and glue the edges into one strip. It should turn into a rainbow for us.
By analogy above, we make tulips for each accordion, 4-5 pieces.
Now glue the bottom of the tulip onto the fold.
Then we bend it. Glue the remaining flowers. It turns out to be a flowering bush.
By analogy, we make the remaining accordions with flowers.
Now open the postcard and take a thin accordion. Apply glue to one edge. Stepping back 3 cm from the bottom edge of the base and about 3 mm from the fold, first glue one side of the accordion.
We take the middle strip, also smear one edge and glue it at a distance of 3 cm from the first strip and 3 mm from the fold, and fix it. We fix the third accordion.
Then, holding it with your fingers, smear the top strip with glue, then the middle and small ones and cover the card.
Open the postcard - this is what happened.
Now glue the tulips to the front side and decorate with a bow.
You can sign and date it at the bottom.
Taking care of your health
It is especially important for an elderly woman to feel care and attention from loved ones on a holiday. And at this age you have to pay special attention to your health. So congratulate her on Mother's Day by giving her:
- a blood pressure monitor so she can easily monitor her health;
- a stylish and convenient first aid kit for storing essential medications that should always be at hand. With very minimal handicraft skills, such a gift can be easily made on your own using textiles, newspaper tubes, etc.;

Such useful surprises given to your grandmother will definitely be appreciated. And her grandchildren’s sincere concern for their health will give her many pleasant emotions.
Craft for mom for Mother's Day 2021 in the form of a basket with flowers (2 master classes)
I found two wonderful master classes on making baskets with flowers.
First we will make these cute sunflowers.
You will need:
- thick colored paper in light brown and dark brown colors;
- colored paper in yellow and green colors;
- glue;
- a simple pencil;
- White paint;
- scissors;
- yellow satin ribbon with white polka dots, 1 cm wide and 30 cm long;
First of all, cut out the templates.
First we transfer the pot and cut it out.
Then you need to make three brown blanks.
With a thin brush we make dots on them. We use white paint.
Now from yellow thick paper we cut out three circles with a wavy edge according to the template.
Use scissors to make slits 0.5-1 cm long.
We glue brown ones on top of the yellow blanks.
We take any base sheet. We fix the pot.
Applying flowers to it will be glued.
We cut out leaves from a green leaf and also send them to the applique.
Glue the ends of the ribbon along the edges.
And tie the loose ends into a bow.
The second basket looks like this.
Need to:
- A4 sheet,
- template drawing sheet,
- colored paper,
- scissors, glue,
- ruler.
We take a sheet that we don’t mind using on the basket template. Fold it in half lengthwise. Draw the basket by hand using a pencil and cut out the template. It is important that the depth of the basket is at least 5 cm. 6 cm is better.
We trace it on a sheet of colored cardboard and cut it out.
Next, take the base sheet. Fold in the middle. We mark 8 cm on both edges and make dots. You will be left with a piece 5 cm long. Cut it 5 cm deep. Wrap it in one direction.
We open the base and push the cut out part inside.
We make decor from flowers.
It is convenient to use such staplers.
Glue the basket onto the ledge.
Decorate with buds.
I also liked the idea of such a basket with a liner.
It's not difficult, just follow the procedure and you will succeed.
Postcards
Even the smallest child can make light paper cards. And he doesn’t even have to use scissors for this.
You can simply place the handprints of all family members on a piece of paper, and then write wishes beautifully (or clumsily).
Crafts for Mother's Day in kindergarten can be made using applique. These could be quite familiar buttercup daisies made of paper, or maybe a more fun and interesting card, for example, with a hedgehog made from rowan seeds and berries.
To do this, just color the drawing with bright felt-tip pens and glue all natural materials onto the template.
Templates for Mother's Day crafts are easy to find on the Internet or draw yourself. If you have a penchant for drawing
A huge postcard on which you can place photographs of all family members and their congratulations will be completely unusual. By the way, warm words from distant relatives will also come to court.
The most elegant postcard will be a creation using the scrapbooking technique. Moreover, for the first crafts in this direction, you can use plain paper, leftover ribbons and beads.
Postcards made from thin strips of paper, folded into various curls, look unusual. Quilling technology allows you to make not only flowers. Twisted strips make wonderful butterflies, trees, and snowflakes.
A postcard made of balloons will be an unusual surprise. To make it, you will need a balloon, which must be cut and many small balls made from one piece of latex.
Each of them is tied to a woolen thread and glued to the front of the card. And all the threads are collected in the hand of the daughter-son, whose figure is cut out from a favorite photograph.
How to make an applique from plasticine for mothers and grandmothers
Kids will be able to make plasticine applications for their beloved mothers and grandmothers. The easiest way is to roll it into flagella and roll it into a spiral. Then you get a flower bud.
That's what I do preschoolers.
It is important to take bright and soft plasticine.
You can make a bud from individual balls.
Or color the finished drawing with balls.
We also stretched the plasticine over the coloring with our fingertips.
Delicious surprises
Usually grandma always has something tasty hidden for her grandchildren, why not take a reciprocal step by pleasantly surprising her?
- Homemade pie. Leave the multi-tiered elaborate cakes for other events. And this delicacy is very suitable for such a spiritual holiday. It’s so nice to while away the evening with a cup of tea while visiting your beloved grandmother with homemade cakes.
- Favorite drink - from gift sets of coffee and tea to self-collected fragrant herbs.
- Handmade sweets. You can easily make this type of sweet surprise yourself using only healthy ingredients: dried fruits, nuts, honey and cereals.
- Fruit bouquet. A bright and spectacular gift that will definitely surprise its recipient. Just try to choose “long-lasting” bouquets of whole fruits that have retained all the vitamins and have a fresh appearance.
In order to please your beloved granny with delicacies, you can invite her to a cafe or restaurant. This way you will not only spend time with your loved one, but also introduce her to new culinary innovations.
Beautiful paper crafts for elementary school children on Mother's Day
Let's think about what else we can do for mom? For example, this hyacinth.
Let's take:
- green paper,
- blue colored double-sided paper,
- scissors,
- glue.
This craft is quite easy, but requires accuracy.
From a green leaf, cut a strip 4 cm wide, the length depends on the length of the leaf. Lubricate it from the inside with glue and begin to wrap it in a tube.
Press the edges so they stick together.
Cut a strip 7 cm wide from the blue leaf. The length also depends on the length of the leaf. On one edge we mark a line equal to 1 cm. Along the long edge we make notches every centimeter. We make cuts along these notches to the line from the edge. There is no need to cut it.
Take a pencil or pen and bend each strip onto it. We do all the “curls” in one direction.
We turn the part on the wrong side and coat it with glue. We apply it to the stem and wrap it around it.
This needs to be done in a spiral.
The tip must be carefully fixed.
Here is a master class on a small panel of roses.
You can make similar birds, where the mother hugs her chick.
Use this diagram.
My other articles, to which I left links above, describe how to make a similar mug.
Here's an idea for a poster.
A simple version of flowers or paper strips.
The next one will also be interesting.
Vases
You can create a small vase for a bouquet of flowers. It will also come in handy if for some reason you don’t have such a necessary thing at home.
To create such a craft, you can use an ordinary bottle (preferably glass). It is wrapped with twine or satin ribbons, decorated with artificial flowers, rhinestones, beads, painted or decorated with salt applied to a layer of glue.
Good craft options would also include boxes or baskets for small items, decorations or photo frames, and homemade cookies.
Photos of crafts for Mother's Day are very diverse and help you choose the most worthy surprise.
Beautiful felt gifts with patterns
A little about felt. This is a very convenient material for crafts. I advise you to take a closer look at it. And I want to show you a version of such a cute heart with a mother and baby.
Here's the pattern.
Here's another idea, but not a voluminous one. The same pattern is used.
Below is a master class in the photo on making flowers from felt.
Such beauty can be repeated. Sew buttons inside.
Also a worthy option.
This material doesn't even need to be processed on the edges. It also holds its shape well and can be cut.
Box for mom
To create an original box for mom, you need to prepare the following materials:
- Jute;
- Coffee beans;
- White paper;
- Glue gun and rods for it;
- A cardboard box of chocolate bars or some other box, but so that it opens like a box.
Plan for how to make a craft for mom in the form of a box:
- Cover the inside of the box with white paper.
- Using a glue gun, wrap the box with jute from bottom to top so that there is no gap.
- Also wrap the lid of the box with jute.
- Place the word “Mom” on the lid of the box with coffee beans, then glue each bean.
If desired, this box can be decorated with various elements, for example, cinnamon sticks, a jute bow.
Crafts from scrap materials for mom, using pasta, cotton pads, napkins
We got to the materials at hand.
Below are ideas for crafts and applications made from pasta.
These flour products are perfectly painted and fixed with hot silicone glue.
You can attach parts from cocktail tubes to plasticine.
Application made from cotton pads and napkins.
Such lace napkins add tenderness to the craft.
For creativity, take cotton swabs and you will get a chamomile.
From simple cotton pads you can make not only daisies, but also calla lilies.
A similar idea can also be made from felt and foamiran.
You can take this stencil.
Wonderful bright idea
Here is a craft made from napkins.
A couple more options from cones.
Did you know that if you put a pine cone in water, it will open? You will get an open voluminous flower.
Beautiful panels. Take a closer look at them.
Beauty is timeless
Women at any age strive to be well-groomed and beautiful. Therefore, a great surprise from grandchildren for grandma would be:
- stylish jewelry - bracelet, ring. Older people usually prefer massive, showy jewelry;
- a silk scarf or scarf is a great addition to the look;
- decorative cosmetics - lipstick, blush, powder, mascara. When choosing cosmetics, take into account your relative’s lifestyle and preferences. Otherwise, such a gift will gather dust on the shelf;
- natural creams, shower gels, soaps using herbal ingredients, which will bring a lot of positive emotions when using them;
- perfumes - from classics to fashionable new products. It will be great if you can find rare perfumes that your grandmother used in her youth;
- a new case for glasses that will keep the necessary accessory safe and sound.
Gifts of this kind will show your granny that she is always young and attractive to you, despite the numbers in her passport.
Making a simple topiary for mom from threads and napkins
Build a topiary quickly. I wrote about them in more detail earlier. They are made from coffee and ribbons. And we will make it from napkins and threads.
First you need to inflate the balloon. The larger it is, the larger the crown of your tree will be.
Let's take the thread. It can be of any thickness and color. The thinner the thread, the more windings you will need and the tighter the ball will be. We pass the thread through a package of PVA glue and wrap it around the ball. Let the glue dry. Then we pierce the ball and remove it from the skein of thread.
We cut strips of 2 cm wide from napkins or corrugated paper. We twist them into a spiral and secure one edge with tape.
The result is roses. The buds need to be fluffed up a little.
We fix our flowers with hot glue. Their number depends on the diameter of your base ball.
This decorated crown can be placed in a beautiful pot.
Pompom flowers
You can create an unusual flower craft by making several multi-colored pom-poms. They are attached to a branch stem or cocktail sticks, after which the entire structure is placed in a pot and carefully covered with multi-colored decorative balls.
Such a charming Mother's Day craft for school will definitely attract the attention of all classmates and teachers.
Craft “Umbrella with flowers” in 5 minutes
Another simple version of a postcard decorated with an umbrella with flowers.
First, cut out 4 circles with a diameter of 6 cm from colored thick paper. Fold it in half, then in half again, forming free ends.
We do this for all four circles.
Then we take one blank and put the second one into it. And the third.
We fasten the middle with a stapler.
Those cones that are in the middle need to be secured with double-sided tape or glue.
Take the wire and cover it with colored paper. We form the handle of the umbrella.
We prepare the base sheet.
