Handmade gifts to give on Mother's Day: A collection of heartfelt ideas (31–40)
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.
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.
A rabbit plush made from fleece
Let’s make a palm-sized bunny plush using fleece fabric that looks and feels soft.
The key is how you construct the body: cut the fabric into the shape you want, embroider the facial expression, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with filling to shape it.
The way you stuff it will change the overall roundness and softness, so it’s recommended to focus on this to create a bunny that suits your style.
After that, attach the parts like the hands, feet, and ears, and finish it so it looks like a bunny.
It could also be fun to bring out originality by changing the fabric color and the shapes of the parts.
crochet bag
Let me introduce a crochet bag that’s perfect as a gift.
Prepare pale gray, pink, and dark beige yarn, along with a size 8 crochet hook, and let’s get started.
Crochet the base by working pink and pale gray together.
Then crochet the sides of the bag using single crochet in back-and-forth rows.
For the top portion of the bag, changing the color for about four rounds adds visual interest and makes it more stylish—highly recommended.
Crochet the handles, finish off with slip stitches, and you’re done! This bag, full of handmade warmth, makes the perfect Mother’s Day present—give it a try!
Resin bookmark
Here’s an introduction to resin bookmarks with a refreshing, clear look.
Prepare resin liquid, a mold for pouring the resin, flower chips and sparkly beads, and optionally a ribbon.
First, pour the resin into the mold.
When choosing a resin mold, it’s key to imagine the bookmark’s shape and the size you want to make.
Add flower chips and the like to the poured resin and let it cure.
Pressed flowers or beads you like would also make it look cute.
Once the resin bookmark has hardened, make a hole and thread a ribbon through it if you like, and it’s done.
Tissue-Paper Toy Poodle
How about making carnations out of tissue paper, bundling and shaping them, and turning them into a toy poodle to give as a gift? Tissue paper carnations are very easy to make: stack about seven sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, fold in the middle, secure with floral wire, and then open the layers one by one to form the carnation.
Gather five of these tissue paper carnations, use scissors to trim them into the shapes of a toy poodle’s nose and ears, attach plastic parts for the eyes and nose, and you’re done.
Try decorating them in a cup or basket.
folding mirror
Let’s customize a 100-yen shop mirror! I’ll share an idea for a folding mirror.
A folding mirror that you can quickly take out on the go can really lift your mood when it looks cute! The charm of this idea is that you can arrange it in any design you like.
What you’ll need: a folding mirror, outer fabric, lining fabric, double-sided craft tape, scissors, ribbon, a creasing tool, a ruler, a 20 cm zipper, and a ballpoint pen.
It makes a one-of-a-kind, special gift.
pass case
Here’s an idea: let’s make a pass case for commuting and the like.
You might wonder, how do you make it? You can put it together with materials all available at 100-yen shops—your favorite color of faux leather, lining fabric, a clear file folder, a D-ring, and so on.
What’s more, with faux leather you can leave the edges raw, so there’s no need to finish the fabric edges; it feels more like a craft project.
You’ll use a sewing machine just a little, but it’s relatively simple to make, so even those who aren’t good at sewing can handle it without stress.
By all means, try making an original pass case in your mom’s favorite colors and fabrics.
Bouquet of Handprints
Here’s a Mother’s Day gift idea that also lets you appreciate your child’s growth.
Prepare construction paper, a handprint ink pad, ribbon, colored pens, glue, and pinking scissors.
Take your child’s handprint and let it dry, then cut around the handprint’s outline.
Use the pinking scissors to cut the wrapping paper that will wrap the handprint.
Glue a stem onto the cut wrapping paper, then attach the handprint as a flower.
Be careful not to attach the handprint in the wrong orientation.
Finish by adding a ribbon and writing a message—and you’re done! Adding stickers for decoration is also recommended!
aroma wax sachet
Let me introduce aromatic wax sachets that look and smell lovely.
Get your materials ready: dried flowers, wax, a silicone mold, a bowl, essential oil, and crayons.
Shave the crayons, add them to the melted wax, and stir.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Pour the mixture into the silicone mold, add the essential oil, and mix.
Then add the cut dried flowers to make it look bright and cute.
The key is to watch how much the wax has set to time when to add the dried flowers.
Once it has fully hardened, it’s done.
Decorating with a message or ribbon is also recommended!
