Handmade gifts to give on Mother’s Day: A collection of heartfelt ideas (21–30)
Carnation cake
Here’s an introduction to a dessert that’s easy to make and looks gorgeous! First, put store-bought cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them finely, then mix with butter.
Press the mixture into a mold and flatten it with your hand or the bottom of a glass to form the crust.
Next, to prepare the no-bake cheesecake, mix cream cheese with strawberries and granulated sugar to make the cheesecake filling.
Line the sides of the mold with sliced strawberries, then pour in the cheesecake mixture.
For the finishing touch, make chocolate ruffles and a red nappage glaze; pour the glaze over the top and decorate with the ruffles to create a three-dimensional, festive cake that resembles a carnation.
It’s easy to make, looks stunning, and is perfect as a gift.
Sabon Gem
It’s about giving soaps packed with colorful motifs as a gift so people can find a bit of joy in their daily lives.
First, to make the colorful motifs, mix food coloring into melted soap, let it set, then cut out shapes with a mold.
Create a variety of shapes.
Next, arrange those motifs densely inside transparent soap, let it set, and slice to finish.
Since the look suffers if the motifs end up unevenly positioned, how you set them in place is an important point.

Herbarium ballpoint pen
This is a practical yet beautiful item that combines a ballpoint pen with a herbarium.
Since you can freely create the herbarium section, it might be perfect as a gift infused with your own sense of style.
You use a ballpoint pen designed to incorporate a herbarium, and create the herbarium freely with these parts.
You could use beads that match the color of the pen body, or craft it in colors that evoke the person you’re giving it to—there are many directions you can take.
bath bomb
Bath bombs, with their delightful fizz and expanding bubbles in the tub, are a fun way to soothe everyday fatigue.
Try making your own and giving them as gifts to express daily appreciation and thanks.
The process is simple—pressing together baking soda mixed with coloring—but the key to beauty lies in mixing so the color spreads evenly throughout and then setting it properly.
Adding a little surprise when molding is also recommended.
If you include rose petals that spread with the bubbles, it will make the experience even more enjoyable.
Mini bouquet
Here’s an idea for creating an easy, eye-catching gift.
First, fold the pipe cleaner for the flower into thirds, then bend it around the center as if shaping petals.
Next, thread a large bead halfway onto the pipe cleaner that will be the stem and twist it to secure.
Divide the petals into three on each side, attach the stem, and wrap it around.
Make as many as you like.
Finally, cut a paper doily in half to decorate, secure the bottom with a rubber band, and cover the band with a ribbon so it doesn’t show.
Adjust the shape and you’re done! You can enjoy a custom design by playing with color combinations and flower sizes.
It’s a great gift idea for Mother’s Day.
Flower basket
How about making a flower basket that can be displayed even in a small space using a plastic bottle cap? Stick double-sided tape around the outside of the bottle cap, then wrap and attach paper cord over the tape.
Once the paper cord is wrapped, place a felt ball inside with double-sided tape on it, and attach a handle made by twisting two paper cords together using glue.
Finish by arranging and attaching small felt flowers on top of the felt ball.
It’s also lovely to make several in different felt colors and display them together.
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.
