Explore our collection of DIY things for Mother’s Day to make a thoughtful gift! We’ve got loads of tutorials and ideas linked down below – just pick a prezzie that takes your fancy and get creating before the big day. If Mother’s Day has been and gone where you’re from – that’s okay! Save these ideas for their bday instead 💐
Food art
Let your little artists cook breakfast for Mum… without the mess. A cardboard brekky shows lots of thought and care, with hand-drawn details and colouring. Plus, the kiddos can use it for pretend play after Mum is done!
Clay lamp DIY
Follow our easy tutorial and use Airy Dry Clay to make a lamp. It’s a great prezzie that Mum can look at every day and use to light up the night. There’s loads of different shapes you can cut into the clay for a unique, personalised design.
Paint a tote bag
Grab some Fabric Markers and customise a tote bag for your Mother’s Day gift! It’s super simple and will be a great addition to Mum’s wardrobe. Check out the project lesson to see how to make this at home.
Cute paper flowers DIY
Create and craft a paper flower filled with thoughtful messages. The petals open to reveal loving words so Mum feels extra special reading them. Pick their fave colours when selecting Craft Paper for the flower so they love it all the more!
Crayon art
Make wall art that’s as bright and colourful as the Mum in your life. Melt a bunch of crayons on a canvas using a hair dryer for a quick and fun DIY. You can see more about the technique in our how-to video.
DIY Mother’s Day cards
Grab your Watercolours and paint a card to celebrate Mum. We drew a bouquet, but you could paint any design that will make them smile. We’ve got a video you can follow along with to get started.
Easy DIY polymer clay earrings
Instead of buying jewellery, why not make some? Mix Mum’s fave Polymer Clay colours together to create a marble effect, then cut it into various earring shapes. Bake the clay, attach earring hoops or studs, and then gift away! Watch our tutorial to see the process up close.
Air dry clay planter
Does your mother figure love plants? Perfect! Show them you care about their hobby by making a hanging Air Dry Clay pot for their plant babies. We show you how to seal and prepare the clay in our free lesson.
Hopefully, you’re set not only for this Mother’s Day but for years to come! If you do opt for a handmade gift, #montmarteart or tag us @montmarteart on Instagram or Facebook. We’d love to see what you create. Pick up some Air Dry Clay, Polymer Clay and Craft Paper to kick off your project.
