Materials:

  • Wooden jewelry making beads in different colors and sizes
  • Leather cord
  • Permanent markers in different colors
  • Scissors
  • Acrylic paint and brush (optional)

Instructions:

Making this lovely necklace is easy as pie! First, pick several wooden beads in different sizes and colors (we recommend 5 to 7). Using the markers, draw some decorative patterns on one or two of the beads, leaving the rest plain. If you are really good at drawing and have some acrylic paints on hand, you can try painting more complex decorations, such as animal or floral prints. If not, just opt for polka dots, stars or hearts. Next, cut a piece of leather cord and string the beads together. Finally, tie the loose ends in a secure knot, and your necklace is ready!

We love these gorgeous flower air fresheners – not only are they beautiful but smell heavenly too!

clear bottles with black, plastic spray caps, made from glass or plastic, filled with water and lilac, rose petals and herbs, mother's day gift ideas, fresh flowers nearby

Materials need to make them:

  • A selection of fresh fragrant plants (we used lilac, roses, lavender, rosemary and sage)
  • Essential oil (we used lavender)
  • Refillable bottles with plastic spray caps
  • Water (we recommend that it’s mineral or filtered)

Instructions:

Carefully take the roses apart and cut the lilac, lavender, rosemary and sage into small pieces. When done, put the flowers and herbs inside the bottles. We decided to put the roses and sage in one bottle and the lilac, rosemary and lavender in another. If you prefer, you can mix them all up, or experiment with other combinations. Next, fill the bottles with water. Those using bottled water can opt for a funnel to avoid spillage. Finally, add up to 10 drops of lavender essential oil in each bottle and shake very gently.

You will only need several minutes for this fun and easy project

How cute is this pompom necklace? This is one of our favorite mothers day gifts ideas!

What you’ll need:

Instructions:

First, make several pompoms, using the woolen thread. If you haven’t tried this before, check out a tutorial. We needed 5 pompoms for our bracelet, but you can use more or less, depending on your preference. Next, pierce each pompom with a jewelry making pin. Using the pliers, bend the sharp side of the pin into a hook. This way you should have hooks on both sides of the pin. Once done, cut several pieces of thin metal chain, trying to get them in roughly the same length. Attach the chain pieces to the pompoms’ hooks with jump rings using the pliers. Add a lobster clasp and a jump ring to either end of the bracelet. Package nicely and present to your mom!

You only need a handful of materials!
