We have some brand Mother’s Day craft ideas, along with popular favorites that are sure to please all moms, step-moms, aunts or grandmas on Mother’s Day. 

First up, there’s something about teeny-tiny baby shoes that melts every mother’s heart, bringing back memories of those first faltering baby steps.  But here’s an easy alternative to bronzing - a baby shoe floral decoration.  Just paint the shoe in a crackle finish then add a thin ribbon lace and a small posy of silk flowers.     

Next, how about making some decoupage jewellery for mom?  For this project, you’ll need decoupage medium, jewellery findings and suitable images for your creative decoupage.  And here’s another inexpensive homemade jewellery option - a forget-me-not pin made from felt.

Bath time pampering is a natural for Mother’s Day, but you don’t have to buy the high-priced drugstore offerings.  Make your own luxurious bath and beauty products!  We provide printable sachets in a romantic ladies theme, plus a simple recipe to make your own Oatmeal Milk Bath Sachets, or choose from five different aromatherapy bath salts recipes with printable jar labels and suggestions for decorating the jars.

See our Mother’s Day Crafts index for more great ideas, including homemade rose water facial toner, oatmeal soap, an ivy bowl candle lamp, dryer sheet flowers or a wallpaper butterfly note holder.  You may also find our Easy Homemade Gifts section worth a look, with links to 25 craft projects such as a decoupaged trinket box, Victorian note holder or a whimsical cat on a hat. 

Finally, for the Mom who loves candles, see our Candle Making section, for photos and full instructions to make a wide variety of candle crafts, including the wine or champagne glass gel candle shown at left  or seashell tea candles, at right.
