Mother's Day Recommendation, Part 2! Aroma wax sachets!

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!

Carnation message card

"Mother’s Day Present Origami" – Easy Carnation Flower Message Card Origami (Kids can make it themselves!) · Origami Message Card Flower
Carnation message card

Let’s make a lovely carnation-shaped message card that’s perfect to add to a Mother’s Day gift.

There’s space on the back to write a short message.

You can use a single color of origami paper like pink or red, or go colorful with patterned paper.

The folding method is very simple, but cutting along the top edge with pinking shears makes it look more luxurious.

Fold a quarter-size sheet of origami paper in half to make the green stem, attach it, and you’re done.

If you tuck in the lower part of the carnation, it can become a dandelion too.

Carnation Toy Poodle

When it comes to Mother’s Day, carnations are the first thing that comes to mind, right? So how about making a “Carnation Toy Poodle” with a carnation motif? In this craft, you roll a circular piece of paper cut with a zigzag edge to create a carnation and attach it to the ear part of a toy poodle made from a toilet paper roll.

Cutting the paper into zigzags takes some technique, so using pinking shears will make it smoother.

Depending on the age of the children, it may be best to prepare pre-cut paper in advance.
