TRY THIS: Make a Gift for Mom

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our disclosure here.

Moms have been enjoying gifts handmade with love from their children since long before the first Mothers’ Day.  As a mom, I get so excited when I receive something that one of my children has poured their love and effort and creativity into.  As an adult, on the other hand, it’s a little harder to find just the right gift for my own mom when it comes to handmade items.  A plaster-of-paris mold of a 29 year old’s hand is not quite as cute as a 5 year old’s hand, for some reason.

With the goal of a handmade gift that I could be proud to present to my mama in mind, I went out looking for some inspiration.  What follows are the terrific ideas I found that you can use for making delightful gifts for any Mom.  Try any of these projects and you’ll make Mom smile this Mother’s Day.
