I hope this article is useful to you. Goodbye, friends!

There is no dearer person in the world than mom. Not everyone knows how to talk about their feelings, but this does not mean at all that the child is indifferent. Most often, the reason lies in shyness. Mom's birthday is the right moment when you can express your love and gratitude without words. It is not at all necessary to go to the store for a gift, especially since the child may not have the money for this. DIY craft is what is truly valuable and expensive. Mom will surely appreciate it.

Of course, materials are required to create a handmade gizmo. You can find something at home, and ask to buy something from relatives or buy it yourself with pocket money.

The first step is not to panic, and calmly look at what materials are available at home. Everything will come in handy:

  • buttons;
  • ribbon;
  • lace;
  • colored paper;
  • unnecessary scraps of matter;
  • glue:

If something is missing, you can buy it. Pocket money is quite enough for this. In a toga, a very original and worthy little thing will cost quite inexpensively.

We are looking for a craft idea as a gift for mom

Sit down and in a relaxed atmosphere think about what you would like to give your mom. Don't make a decision spontaneously. Moreover, now there are many master classes that will suggest different ideas. It is worthwhile to correctly calculate your strength and time, as well as to see if you have all the materials in order to bring your idea to life.

Every woman is pleased when she is presented with flowers. Here's your first mom gift idea. Fresh flowers are undoubtedly beautiful, but they will be able to delight the hero of the occasion for a rather short time. They will wither in a maximum of a week. But a soft bouquet made by hand for mom's birthday is almost eternal. An excellent addition to the flowers will be a vase, of course, also made with your own hands.

Alternatively, you can donate a fan. A mother who works in a stuffy office, for example, will certainly be happy with such a gift. Whichever version of the presentation you choose, you definitely need to supplement it with a postcard. And not bought at a kiosk, but made by you yourself by writing a beautiful wish in it. It's very touching and cute.

Paper craft

Making a homemade postcard is a very exciting and interesting process, and it is also uncomplicated. You will need a bright piece of cardboard, preferably double-sided. You can leave the white side as it is, or you can paint or stick colored paper on it. This is at the discretion of everyone. It all depends on the flight of your imagination. The cardboard must be carefully folded in half so that both sides are even.

The fold needs to be ironed well. Now a ribbon or lace will come in handy (everything that is at hand will do). This material must be glued to the perimeter with glue. Well, in the center, make a beautiful composition. These can be flowers, patterns, glued beads or rhinestones. If you decide to stick with flowers, then make hyacinths. It's simple and incredibly beautiful. Cut strips about five to six centimeters wide from different colored paper.

Then cut each strip lengthwise like a fringe, and curl the ends with scissors. For the stem, you need green paper; it must be twisted into a tube. Colored strips must be wound on top of the stems. Thus, before your eyes, the composition will begin to be assembled, and then you need to stick it on the postcard.

Such a gift will touch the mother's heart to the depths of her soul. She will carefully keep it, from time to time re-reading the warm words of wishes addressed to her from you.

We sew soft tulips ourselves

A beautiful plain or polka dot fabric will be the base of the buds. But the leaves and stems are better made monochromatic. To do this, you need to prepare a green cloth so that the flowers look natural. We will give rigidity to the stems with the help of wire. And for the volume of the buds, you will need cotton wool or synthetic winterizer. To complete this craft, you will need scissors, a needle and thread, preferably to match the material.

Let's start by patterning the buds, leaves and stems. They need to be drawn on paper. How to do this, you can look on the net or use your imagination. Gently transfer the pieces of paper to the fabric and cut them out. Do not forget that for each flower you need two parts.

DIY paper flower bouquet

The stem is done like this: You need to attach pieces of fabric to each other and sew them with the front side. Then turn outwards, fill with filler and insert the wire. The bud and leaves are made according to the same principle with only one difference, you do not need to insert a wire into them. All parts need to be sewn together. The bouquet is ready, it remains to tie it up with a beautiful ribbon or put it in a basket. A handmade craft for mom's birthday will be a great gift, decorating the interior.

If you are not very good at sewing, it doesn’t matter. Make a vase, for example. Surely mom will be presented with a bouquet of fresh flowers, and such a gift will come in handy.

DIY vase making workshop

A glass jar, glass or bottle is sure to be found in every home. We will take some of this as a basis. If you decide to make a vase from a bottle, pick it up with a wide neck so that you can put a bouquet in it. The container needs to be decorated. There can be many options for how to do this. For example: Pasting with clippings from colored magazines or non-flowing scraps of cloth. Gluing beads, rhinestones or buttons, and finally, if you are good at drawing technique, then apply a beautiful pattern to the vase.

Before you start decorating a container that will soon become a vase, degrease its surface. For this, nail polish remover or alcohol will do. It is better to start gluing the parts from above. If you are going to work with paper, then you can do it as you like, chaotically and with an overlap, and the fabric is just a butt joint. When decorating a vessel, do not forget about the sense of proportion, so that the drawing on the vase looks original, apply it in places, without filling the entire surface entirely. Although, here again, a lot depends on what materials you will decorate and on personal taste preferences. The main thing is that the gift is made with a soul.

Homemade jewelry box

Mom probably has jewelry, earrings, rings, beads, a chain. So why not make a beautiful box to hold it all ?! This will require:

  • thick cardboard;
  • toothpicks or matches;
  • a ball of thread;
  • beads or beads;
  • ribbon.

Cut out a heart or any other shape of your choice from thick cardboard. We insert toothpicks or matches around the entire perimeter, but they will need to be sharpened on one side first. Now you need yarn. She needs to weave between each toothpick to the end. In such a non-tricky way, we got an original box. Now you need to decorate it.

For this, beads and rhinestones are suitable. It will be beautiful if you go around the bottom, top and middle with them. Well, in the end, we glue the ribbon to the bottom and top. The do-it-yourself craft is ready, which means that it can be presented to mom for her birthday as a gift.

You can also make other, no less original gizmos with your own hands, such as:

  • needle cushion;
  • apron;
  • potholder;
  • photo frame;
  • memory box;
  • a candle decorated with his own hand.

Gift puzzle

Give your mom an unusual Rubik's Cube gift for her birthday. Take it as a basis (any cube will do, if it is painted, then you can immediately get down to business). All colored stickers must be removed. Photos will be pasted in their place. The main thing is to choose the picture according to the size of the sides of the sides of the cube.

The photo must be carefully cut into 9 even squares. Use a brush to apply glue to the edges and glue all the cut squares from the photos to them. Do this for each side of the cube. Then let it dry, after which it will be ready and ready to use. Mom will be delighted with such an original, exclusive puzzle.

Sweet bouquet of sweets

If the birthday girl has a sweet tooth, then she will be delighted to receive a sweet gift. What you need for an edible bouquet:

  1. Candies.
  2. Shiny and corrugated paper.
  3. Wire.
  4. Can.
  5. Styrofoam.
  6. Toothpicks.
  7. PVA glue.
  8. Scotch.
  9. Beads, beads.
  10. Scissors.

Squares are cut from foil, they need to be cut exactly as many flowers as there will be in the bouquet (any odd number) at will. Now, each candy must be wrapped in cut squares, fastening the base with a wire, it can be replaced with a strong thread. Corrugated paper is needed for the petals. Cut out squares from it, their size should completely wrap the candy. For one petal, you need two squares with a rounded top.

In the center of each petal, a sweetie is pre-wrapped. Thus, the formation of a rosebud takes place. The base, in the same way as we did at the very beginning, is secured with wire or strong thread. Now we need green corrugated paper, cut out the sepals from it and glue it to the base of each rose. The buds need to be allowed to dry, then the stem should be taken care of.

Insert the wire into the base and wrap it with green paper. With just a little time and patience, this kind of sweet craft is ready and pleasing to our eyes. It is doubly pleasant to realize that it was made with your own hands and it is not a shame to give it to your mother for her birthday. It remains to put the bouquet in a pre-decorated container and decorate with a ribbon.

Make your mom happy in the morning, get up before her and make a delicious breakfast. She will appreciate your care and attention. For a joint tea party, it's time to present your gift.

And if you remember how unpretentious children's crafts made her happy, then the original surprise, created by her own hands, should definitely please. There are many great DIY gift ideas from your daughter.

Birthday present for mom from daughter

A thread vase is an original decorative element that can be used to store small items. It's easy to do it yourself.

What you need:

  • Threads. Any thread will do, even those left over from knitting.
  • A simple vase, no tapering at the top.
  • Plastic wrap or foil.
  • PVA glue and container for glue.
  • Oilcloth or board to protect the table surface from glue.
  • Thread trimming scissors.

Step-by-step instruction:

  • Wrap the base of the vase with polyethylene without gaps.
  • Pour PVA glue into the prepared container.
  • Unwind some of the threads and immerse them in a container with glue so that they are well saturated.
  • With a thread dipped in glue, wrap the vase in different directions, creating a spider web and achieving the desired coating density.
  • Having finished working with threads, place the inverted vase on a stable surface, protected from glue drips.
  • Wait for the product to dry well.
  • Take out the base and remove the film.

Warm blanket

Even a beginner knitter can handle a blanket, as it is assembled from separate squares. You will need knitting needles, yarn, and a thick sewing needle.

How to choose yarn and knitting needles:

  • In order for the blanket to warm on cool evenings and not lose its original shape for a long time, the yarn should be chosen soft, with a wool content of at least 20%.
  • Threads can be of the same color or 2-3 different shades for combination.
  • For a blanket measuring 135 cm by 90 cm, the approximate amount of yarn is 800-900 grams.
  • Often the yarn labels indicate the number of knitting needles that will fit these threads. If such information is not available, then experienced knitters recommend buying knitting needles with a number equal to the diameter of the yarn folded in half and then twisted.

The creation of a blanket includes two main stages: knitting individual squares, followed by steaming with an iron, and then stitching the blanket.


A self-made original birthday gift is sure to please mom.

Knitting a square:

  • On the needles, you need to cast on 36 loops.
  • Then you need to knit alternately 3 front and 3 purl loops.
  • In each next row, repeat the loops of the lower row. As a result, you should get tracks from purl and front loops.
  • Before closing the stitches of the last row, you need to make sure that the connected element is in the shape of a square. To do this, you need to bend the canvas diagonally: the sides of the square must be equal.

In total, you need to connect 36 identical squares. Their size will be about 15 cm on each side (may vary slightly depending on the thread and knitting density). Each square should be steamed with an iron through a thin damp cloth or ironing net.

To sew the elements, you will need a thick needle with a large eye and a thread of the same color from one of the skeins of yarn. Parallel simple stitches will look spectacular, connecting the parts perpendicular to their sides. In this case, on the other side of the blanket, the stitches will lie at an angle to the same details. The optimal stitch length is 7 mm, the distance between parallel stitches is 4 mm.


If you decide to knit a blanket with your own hands as a birthday present for your mom, the work must be done very carefully. How to correctly connect the knitted squares - in the photo.

To connect the parts, you can use other familiar methods (blind stitches with a needle, crochet).

Panel with sakura

If the holiday is already tomorrow, and the daughter is still thinking how to make a present for her mother for her birthday with her own hands, then the panel made of beads will become easy to perform and an elegant surprise.

You will need:

  • photo frame A4;
  • transparent glue;
  • beads in several colors;
  • base stencil.

To get started, you need to prepare a stencil base for the future panel.

This can be done in different ways:

  • Find a picture with cherry blossoms on the Internet and print it on a printer. It is better to print an outline drawing on a black and white printer, then paint it with colored paints.
  • If it is possible to print a color image of sakura, then this will reduce the time for creating a panel.
  • Draw the sakura motif yourself.

A suitable option for a pattern may be a cross stitch pattern. In this case, before placing the picture under the glass, you must first paint over the background with the applied grid.

Beads must be matched to the color of the image of the elements of the picture. Transparent household glue should be used, but second and stationery will not work. It is convenient to work with glue in a tube, squeezing it out a little and spreading it over the surface with a spout.

How to do:

  1. The base-drawing must be inserted into the frame under the glass.
  2. Make an applique on glass, repeating the background of each sakura element, without going beyond the outline of the drawing under the glass.
  3. Pour beads of the same color into a small box with sides, so that it is convenient to take it out and not accidentally sprinkle it.
  4. With glue, grease a small area on the glass over the desired element and sprinkle with beads of the same color. Continuing to glue beads, "sketch" all the elements of the panel, except for the background.

Embroidered pillow

To create a decorative pillow, you need to purchase an embroidery kit with a suitable motif or a ready-made embroidered canvas. You will need a fabric for the outer cover 50 cm, a secret lock and threads in the color of the fabric. You can also purchase a ready-made pillow in a pillow case with a filling of 40 cm by 40 cm.

How to sew:

  1. Wash, dry and iron the fabric before opening to avoid shrinkage.
  2. To sew the cover, you need to cut out two squares measuring 41 cm by 41 cm, add 2 cm seam allowances.
  3. Sew the embroidered canvas onto one of the squares.
  4. Sew the squares from the wrong side on 3 sides, sew in a secret lock on the 4th side.

A candle in a shell

To make original candles you will need:

At the top, fold the fabric inward and glue, making sure that this will not interfere with the closing of the lid.
  • If the box is cylindrical and the fabric is softly draped (velvet), then cut a circle with a diameter equal to the sum of the double height of the walls, the diameter of the bottom and a centimeter for the hem. Place the fabric in a box, plan the folds, secure with pins. Then start gluing the backing from the middle.

  6. Connect points A and B with a smooth line in the form of an arc, the middle of which is closer to the fold line than point B. Half of the apron without strings will be clearly visible.
  7. Below the bottom line, the allowance has already been marked, it remains to designate the allowances on the left and top. Then cut out a blank for an apron from the fabric without cutting along the fold line.
