Have you considered creating homemade Mothers Day gifts this year? I’m actually pondering the idea since I found these awesome crafts. It seems like most of the things I see are super cute for a child to create, but nothing that doesn’t involve finger paint or ModPodge.
Not that there’s anything wrong with finger paint or ModPodge, but my mom would probably laugh if I handed her something made from popsicle sticks.

The birds nest necklace is adorable! I love that it’s easy too. I’m a much better shopper than crafter. Ha!
