To make a gift for Mother's Day with your own hands, you need nothing more than to love your mother and want to congratulate her. Of course, adult daughters and sons often simply buy something for their mothers that is necessary or pleasant for them, but little children delight us, mothers, with their modest crafts, which are made with great diligence and with all their hearts. In kindergartens and schools, during craft lessons, children, under the guidance of teachers, learn to create various gift options for their beloved mothers, while older children look for inspiration on the Internet. And today our article will be just for them.
Special holiday
In childhood, a birthday is a joyful event, but with age this holiday becomes a day of summing up.
As a rule, on this day children rush to their mother to congratulate her. A birthday gift made by the hands of her son or daughter will please her much more than one bought in a store.
Jars for small items
If you want to surprise your mom with an interesting and useful gift, prepare small jars for her.
You will need:
- Empty coffee or sauce jars
- Cut of lace
- Button
- Any yarn, rope or thin twine
- PVA glue
- Scissors
Wash the jars and dry them. Coat with glue and wrap with rope. Allow to dry thoroughly. Cut the lace to the width of the jar and cut it slouchy. Glue the lace to the middle of the jar. Decorate the center with a bow or flower, glue a button in the middle of the flower.
The gift is ready.
Useful accessory
On the eve of any family celebration, mother is most often busy at the stove in the kitchen, preparing tasty treats for her family.
In this case, she needs oven mitts that will prevent the housewife’s hands from getting burned. These cute little things will not only become a bright spot among all the kitchen utensils, but will also fit into the overall interior.
What would you like to say
Mom is the perfect person. She always remains in our hearts as an ideal person, a ray of light for which life is worth living.
Difficulties in life will always have a negative impact on both health and relationships. So, always try to be on good terms with your mother, love her and give her only the best gifts.

Patchwork painting
Our great-grandmothers were also involved in patchwork sewing. In those days, by the light of a torch, they sewed various things for the house out of necessity. Now this handicraft is elevated to the rank of art.
If blue utensils predominate in your parents’ kitchen, then potholders can be made in colors that will resemble Gzhel painting.
To do this, take pieces of fabric in blue tones, but in different colors. Cut squares from one fabric and triangles from another. Combine pieces of different designs into a single fabric using a sewing machine. Choose any pattern or ornament of the canvas at your discretion.
The shape of the product can be square, round or oval. Insert thin foam rubber or cloth between the front and back sides for density and safety.
Turning it right side out, trim the edges of the potholders with a beautiful braid. Make a loop out of it. Such a thing will not only be practical, but will also add a touch of aesthetics to the overall decoration of the kitchen.
