In the very near future, a wonderful family holiday is expected in our country - Mother's Day! For everyone who wants, this is a great opportunity to thank their dearly beloved mothers for all the sleepless nights, anxieties, and worries that we sometimes manage to give them! All the blessings in the world are not enough to express our gratitude to mothers!

However, there is something that can convey our love and gratitude! What is this? This is some small SURPRISE, made with our own hands, containing all our affection for our mother, made with love and a lot of positive thoughts!

Yes, this can be completely useless for anyone, BUT NOT FOR MOM! When children grow up and leave the parental nest, all that remains for mom, in between rare calls, is to sort through all the “gifts” and “surprises” that you gave her throughout your childhood and youth! Such “surprises” contain the most valuable things: memory, love, light sadness! The holiday is almost here, and you still don’t know what to give your mom? Then you've come to the right place! We bring to your attention simple, cute crafts that are simple, original and do not require much time or money.

DIY gifts for mom for Mother's Day

Before moving on to the step-by-step manufacturing instructions for gifts, let's first look at the proposed options:

Fabric tulips

To make these wonderful fabric tulips we will need:

  • Bright clappy fabrics for flowers;
  • Green pieces of fabric for stems and leaves;
  • Wire to give the stems rigidity and the desired shape;
  • Synthetic filler;
  • Scissors;
  • Needle with thread;
  • Pattern.

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts soft tulips:

1. Draw a pattern for your future tulips on a piece of paper. It should look something like this:

2. Select the claps of the desired color, fold them in pairs with the right side inward, attach the patterns to the fabric and carefully cut out the parts. Don't forget to leave 0.5-1 cm for seam allowance!
3. Sew a tulip bud in a circle, through a small hole near the base of the flower, and turn the piece right out. Carefully fill the “” padding polyester with filler and carefully sew up the hole.
4. Sew the “leg” of the tulip, turn it outward and loosely fill it with padding polyester. After the leg has received its volume, insert the wire into the leg, slightly rounding its ends (so that the sharp edges of the wire do not pierce the fabric and do not come out of the leg).


5. Sew the leaves, turn them outside and straighten them well, iron them. Give them shape. If desired, you can seal them with non-woven material (cut out a piece of the sheet from non-woven material, glue it with an iron to the wrong side of one of the wrong sides of the sheet, and then start sewing all the parts together).
6. We assemble our tulip - carefully put it on and sew the flower head to the stem.

We wrap the leaf around the stem and sew it on. Sew a whole bouquet of these soft tulips - they will last a long time, withstand more than one wash and will delight your mother for a long, long time!

But your mother will be even more delighted with such a wonderful vase for sweets or fruit! Not only did you make it yourself, but it is also very practical - it will look great on any table, and will also delight every family member with all sorts of “goodies”! By the way, when you give it as a gift, don’t forget to fill it with something tasty - so to speak, Surprise No. 2.

To make this “masterpiece” with your own hands, prepare:

  • 19 liter plastic water bottle;
  • 6 liter plastic bottle;
  • Toilet paper;
  • PVA glue;
  • Glue brush;
  • Simple pencil;
  • Scissors;
  • Twine;
  • Two spray paints in gold and black.

1. Carefully cut off the top part of two plastic bottles along with the neck with a sharp knife or scissors. In the future, the top of the 19-liter bottle will serve as the bowl of our vase, and the top of the smaller bottle will serve as the leg and stand of our vase. See what our details should look like:

2. The next stage, while the parts are still separated, is decorating the future vase. To do this you need to use the papier-mâché technique:

  • Coat the wide part of the bowl and stand with PVA glue;
  • Carefully apply (roll) toilet paper and let the first layer dry;
  • We repeat this procedure again 4-5 times until the walls of the parts are leveled and acquire some monumentality.
  • We dry our preparations thoroughly.
  • Using toilet paper, we also create elaborate stucco molding (to suit your taste - bunches, flowers, ornaments, intricate patterns). To this end, wet your hands with water and, taking pieces of toilet paper, make balls and flagella that will help our vase acquire its uniqueness and exclusivity. Glue the resulting flagella and balls to the vase with PVA glue, first applying some intricate pattern with a simple pencil. Dry everything thoroughly.

3. Apply black spray paint to the finished, well-dried halves of the vase. After the black paint has dried a little, apply the next golden coat using gold spray paint. If you find gaps in golden paint here and there, use a brush and hide all the errors.

4. It's time to finally connect the vase bowl to the stem! To do this, use a special glue for plastic, wrap the joint picturesquely with twine dipped in PVA glue, tie a nice bow and wait for the product to dry completely.

Now quickly run to the store for candies, fill a freshly prepared vase with them and quickly present this wonderful gift to your mother! Believe me, no matter how old you and your mother are, SUCH a gift will not go unnoticed by her! A vase, and even filled to the brim with sweets, will definitely make a mother’s heart tremble and rejoice!

It’s rare whose mother can remain indifferent to such a prickly miracle as a cactus! And when this miracle manages to bloom - that’s it, mom’s heart is forever smitten with love for this prickly, but very beautiful plant!

We present to your attention a joke gift “CACTUSES for Mom.” She will definitely appreciate this surprise! And for invention, and for resourcefulness, and for excellent interior decoration that does not require any special attention.

To make a flower pot with stone cacti you will need:

  • Small clay flower pot;
  • Sand;
  • Smooth pebbles (pebbles) of medium and small size;
  • 2-3 shades of green acrylic paint;
  • Corrector.

1. To begin, place the pebbles on the table and take a good look at them. Select those that are most similar to real cacti. Set the rest aside.

2. Paint the selected pebbles with acrylic green paint and wait until they dry completely.

4. Darken a little where necessary, lighten your stones a little, using different shades of green paints. Basically, bring your cacti to life. Make them “real.”
