More than all the bouquets and money in the world, mothers value gifts made with their own hands. After all, crafts always carry a piece of the soul and love that you put into them. But you want the surprise for the closest person in the world to be beautiful and useful. We offer 8 interesting ideas for your beloved mother’s birthday!
Bouquet of palms
This option is suitable even for small children from 1 to 2 years old. All you need is to purchase finger paints at the store.
Let's start making a children's picture with images of a bouquet of palms. There are quite a lot of options on this topic. So, you can print children's palms on a piece of white paper, serving as flowers.
To make the drawing complete, you need to add stems and a bow to them. The finished painting can be placed in a beautiful frame, or it can become the main material for making a greeting card.
Another option is to use a pencil to trace the outline of the child’s palms on bright-colored paper, then cut out the finished shapes. To give the appearance of a bouquet, glue paper palms to cardboard sticks. This way you get a beautiful homemade “bouquet”.
In a similar way, it’s easy to make a small tree on your palm. For this, colored cardboard, glue, and decorative elements are used. We cut out the shape of a palm from double-sided brown cardboard, then we make a stand for it. Glue leaves and butterflies from colored paper onto the resulting tree.
These are the types of tasks that a child can handle under the supervision of an adult! Just look at what wonderful pictures you can create as a gift for your mother.

Delicious candy cake
To make your cake beautiful and have a neat shape, you need to stock up on elongated candies. So, cut out the shape of a circle from thick cardboard. This will serve as the base of the cake.
Along its circumference, it is necessary to set the sides in a vertical position, connecting them with an interlaced ribbon. If you have foam, you can cut the base out of it. It will be much easier to attach the sides to it.

DIY accessories
The variety of accessories that you can make yourself for your beloved mother is large enough to choose the right one:
- hairpins;
- beads and bracelets;
- pendants or pendants;
- key rings and key cases;
- eyeglass cases;
- shopping and beach bags;
- woven belts and bracelets;
- jewelry made of leather or foamiran, etc.
A beautiful hairpin can be easily made from a ready-made base of any shape (you need to choose the simplest one, without decoration). Decorate it with shells brought from the beach, or beads and beads, collecting chains from them that can be rolled into a spiral, bent, wrapped around the base and given a variety of shapes.
An unusual and decorative material is foamiran. This is foam rubber that becomes plastic when heated. Details of flowers and leaves are cut out of the material, which are then collected into decoration for hairpins. You can make a handmade gift according to the following scheme:
- cut out flower petals (for example, roses);
- along the edges they can be tinted with colored chalk, rubbing it into the material;
- heat the petal on a hot iron;
- Use your fingers to shape it: turn the edge, bend it, etc., and for the middle, roll the part into a tube;
- process the details of the leaves and assemble the rose, pasting the center part with petals;
- Glue the flower and leaves to the base of the hairpin.
Leather petals are also processed in a similar way. Unlike foamiran, they do not become plastic, but bend if you carefully run a heated soldering iron over them. Having given the shape, assemble the flower with glue and attach it to the base of the hairpin.
Leather keychains
Using a soldering iron, you can make key rings, pendants, and clips from leather (you will need clips for them). By attaching a pin to the back of a leather item, you can also make a brooch.
Polymer clay jewelry
Jewelry or keychains can be easily made from polymer clay or salt dough. These materials need to be baked after finishing the job.
Cord bracelets
Belts and bracelets are woven from cord or strips of leather. If you have minimal skills, it is better to weave from 3 cords, like a braid. But more skilled needlewomen will be able to weave with 5 or more parts.
Decor for hairpins, jewelry, bracelets, cases for keys or glasses can be easily sewn from felt. A beautiful and pleasant material does not need edge processing; it is enough to cut and sew the details, adding beads or buttons.
Original box
Now let's give an example of how to make a gift for your mother in the form of a box with your own hands. In this case, the following set of tools will be useful:
- one of the appropriate size shoe boxes;
- pieces of wallpaper;
- cardboard;
- glue;
- scraps of fabric;
- decor
First, we cover the entire box with pieces of fabric or wallpaper. Next, cut out the dividers from a sheet of cardboard and paste them with similar material.
We place dividers inside the box - this way we get sections for storing small items. We decorate the outer surface of the box with applique, flowers, beads and openwork ribbons.
To create an original shape for the box, you can make retractable compartments from matchboxes. To ensure the strength of the hinged lid, it can be secured with tape. In addition, the ribbon can be used to make a tie, or a “lock” made of an elastic band and a large bead is glued to it.

- Glue the petals to the stem, first giving them a bend.
- Make each new flower in the same way. There can be three, five or seven tulips - it depends on what kind of container you have prepared for them.
- Place the finished flowers in a vessel and present it to the birthday girl.
Photo frame for mom
To make a unique photo frame, you will need a sheet of thick cardboard or a small box of equipment. A regular frame will be made from two cardboard rectangles. For the back wall we use a solid shape, and for the outside we use a shape with a hole.
Next, you need to attach a leg or a loop for hanging to the frame. You can make special holes for the photo collage and use different shapes of frames.
At the same time, a homemade fabric frame would be an ideal gift for mom on March 8 or her birthday. To make it, you need a thin layer of filler and rich light fabric for covering. It is recommended to use beads or rhinestones as decorations.

Bouquet in a vase or mug
The floral theme is endless. Here are two more options for making beautiful paper bouquets.
Clover, tulips or forget-me-nots in a mug can be made by a 3-4 year old child with a little help from an adult.
- Make a template for a mug with a handle.
- Fold a colored A4 sheet in half (you can take a smaller format), trace the template so that one edge of the mug coincides with the fold, cut it out, leaving the handle on only one side.
- Prepare the design of the front of the cup. To do this, cut out patterns on a white template using nail scissors. Glue the white part to the colored part.
- Make flowers from thick colored sheets,
- All that remains is to put them in a mug. Please note: you need to glue the bouquet to the inside of the cup. To make the structure stable, make the stems thick and short.
This is the kind of greeting card your child can make himself. The work is easy and interesting, and the entire manufacturing process is shown step by step in the pictures below.
You can also make a vase from disposable plates with grooved edges, painted with acrylic or gouache paints.
- One of the plates is cut in half and glued to the second so that a convex container is obtained.
- Then you need to build flowers. Paint the wooden skewers green. Collect flowers from three to five petals. Each petal is a red or yellow strip glued together at the edges. The resulting loops are glued together: a skewer is attached to them on one side, and a core on the other.
- The child can place the finished flowers in a vase and decorate the composition with decorative floral tape, beads, and corrugated sheets.
Volumetric birthday card
What else can you please your mom with, you ask? A simple application is what you need. To make it you will need a couple of sheets of thick paper and a variety of decorations. A postcard that opens in the form of a butterfly or a bouquet looks beautiful.

Postcard in 3D
A gift for mom made of paper is a postcard in a three-dimensional image. Making it seems complicated, but in general it is not. If you want to try, then you need to prepare the necessary:

3D cards are no more difficult than 2D cards, but much more impressive
Cosmetic bag in patchwork style
If you have a lot of unnecessary fabric pieces around the house, use them to create an eye-catching cosmetic bag for mom. A distinctive feature of this technique is that you first need to sew the fabric itself from prepared scraps.
We lay out the desired collage from the scraps and gradually sew them together. The edges are processed in a zigzag pattern.
Next, you need to transfer the pattern shape onto the canvas, not forgetting to leave seam allowances. The shape of the cosmetic bag can be any you desire. The simplest option is a simple rectangular shape.
Don't forget about making a lining. We make a similar blank from synthetic fabric and place it in the inner part. All that remains is to carefully sew the fastener to the fabric.
That's all! Your gift is ready, give it to your mother as soon as possible.
Daffodils
Narcissus is a flower born in spring. A gentle, beautiful card with daffodils will be a wonderful gift for the first day of spring or March 8th.
