Last Minute Mother's Day gift

Mother’s Day is almost here…but there is still time to create for her something special.  Don’t make a last minute run to the store to purchase a gift, show Mom you care by making her a thoughtful gift.  You don’t have to spend a fortune, and with a little help from your local craft supply store you can make her a present that she will be proud of.

Feather Earrings- Feathers are in style and Mom has every right to be too! Visit your local craft supply store or online feather supplier to purchase beautiful feathers.  Try ostrich feathers or stripped rooster feathers for an everyday earring or a pair of peacock feathers to make special occasion earrings.  Purchase earring hooks and jewelry wire to assemble a beautiful pair of earrings that Mom will enjoy. Check out this tutorial by Trinkets in Bloom on how to make a cool but simple feather earring!

Framed Photograph Art- Make signs with loving phrases on them such as “We love you,” or even print off sheets of paper with one letter per page on it such as “L-O-V-E.” Take a photograph of each child holding a lettered paper.  Print off photographs and place in a frame with as many picture inserts as kids in the family.  Wrap and frame for a gift that Mom will cherish all year long.

Entry Way Key Holder- Help Mom get out the door sooner each morning…not to mention stress free with this key holder.  She will no longer need to rush around the house scouring every nook and cranny in search of her keys.  Take a photo of your family and place it in a nice frame (5x7 is a great size).  Purchase four small screw-in hooks to drill into the bottom of the frame at evenly spaced distances.  Hang the frame in the entry way and mom will have a beautiful place to store her keys.

When all else fails and time or money is too short, a beautiful hand written card will suffice.  You could get creative by making a coupon book to show Mom you care (promise to help out with the chores, or give her a back massage.) The important thing is to show Mom that she is appreciated.
