Handmade gifts to give on Mother's Day: A collection of heartfelt ideas (11–20)
Handmade album
For a Mother’s Day gift, how about making an album using all the photos you’ve been taking? You could turn it into a book-style album using thick paper or cardstock, or try a flip-through album with a fun, slightly elaborate slide mechanism.
Many people probably leave everyday snapshots and travel photos sitting on their phones or cameras.
Even if you don’t have a printer at home, you can easily print photos at a convenience store, so give it a try!
coaster
How about making a few coasters to give as a gift? Coasters can be made from all kinds of materials—tile, fabric, felt, yarn—so you might be able to start right away with things you already have at home.
If you have lots of fabric scraps, be sure to put them to use! Layering different fabrics creates unique and cute coasters.
You can sew lace around the edges, and adding embroidery or a tag with a name would be adorable, too.
flower box
Here’s an idea for making a flower box packed tightly with artificial and dried flowers.
You can get everything you need at a 100-yen shop: a box with an acrylic lid, artificial flowers, dried flowers, and floral foam to serve as the base.
First, cut the floral foam to fit the size of the box and glue it inside.
Floral foam is easy to cut cleanly with a utility knife.
Then fill it with your favorite artificial flowers and green moss.
Finally, add a ribbon and insert items like nuts or seed pods while checking the overall balance.
Mother’s Day Cookies
Let’s share our feelings with cookies made with love! Here are some Mother’s Day cookie ideas.
These are perfect for anyone who wants to give a gift that creates lasting memories rather than focusing on form.
It’s great that you can make them even without cookie cutters at home.
The flower shapes look gorgeous and are sure to warm the heart.
Once your cookies are finished, decorate them with a cute heart-shaped box or a ribbon to make them look even more beautiful! Take this opportunity to give it a try.
corsage
How about handcrafting a glamorous corsage that instantly lifts your spirits? Some people might think corsages sound difficult to make, but this one uses store-bought faux flowers, so you can enjoy creating it in your favorite colors and design.
First, remove just the flower heads from faux flowers sold at 100-yen shops, and dye the petals with acrylic paint or tea.
Next, thread a safety pin through a piece of stiff fabric to prepare the base.
Then simply use a hot glue gun to layer and stick the petals onto the base, and you’re done.
Adding lace, tulle, or beads will make it even more stylish.
Try making one while imagining colors that would suit your mom.
Artificial Flower Glass Dome
Would you like to make a glass dome filled with lots of beautiful artificial flowers? Cut floral foam to fit the bottom of your glass container, then wrap it with ribbon or paper so the base doesn’t show.
Insert artificial flowers, arranging them with a good balance of color.
Since it’s for Mother’s Day, artificial carnations are recommended.
Shape the arrangement into a gently rounded mound that follows the curve of the glass dome.
Add small flowers and leaves between the carnations as accents, and once you place it inside the glass dome, it’s complete.

chopstick rest
These resin chopstick rests are as enjoyable as interior decor.
Simply place your decorations into a mold and set them with clear resin to create your own original chopstick rest.
By playing with colors and arranging flowers, you can design a one-of-a-kind piece that brightens up your dining table.
The process itself is simple, and even including the curing time, it can be finished in a short period.
Thicker pieces take longer, but be sure to let them dry thoroughly.
The finished chopstick rests are practical yet decorative, making them a handmade gift that conveys warmth to the recipient.
