Mother’s Day gifts are best when handmade! A collection of heartfelt ideas (31–40)
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 zigzag scissors.
Take your child’s handprint, let it dry, and cut it out along the hand shape.
Use the zigzag scissors to cut the wrapping paper that will “wrap” the handprint.
Glue a stem onto the cut wrapping paper, then attach the handprint so it looks like a flower.
Be careful not to paste the handprint in the wrong orientation.
Finally, add a ribbon and write a message, and it’s done! Adding stickers for decoration is also recommended!
Fruit rare cheesecake
How about treating your mom on Mother’s Day with a handmade dessert? Whether you love baking or not, here’s a recommended recipe for a Fruit No-Bake Cheesecake.
Since no-bake cheesecake doesn’t require baking, it’s an easy sweet to make! Prepare the cookie base and the cheesecake layer separately, pour them into glass containers such as tumblers to form layers, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Next, arrange your favorite fruits on top, pour in juice mixed with dissolved gelatin, and refrigerate until set.
It looks stylish and will make you excited to dig in!
Resin bookmark
Introducing a resin bookmark with a fresh, crystal-clear look.
Prepare resin liquid, a mold for pouring the resin, flower chips and sparkly beads, and a ribbon if you like.
Pour the resin into the mold.
When choosing the mold, it helps 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 love would also look adorable.
Once the resin bookmark has hardened, make a hole and thread a ribbon through it if you like—that’s it! It also makes a great gift for someone special.
Making a carnation brooch
This is a carnation brooch with a realistic, three-dimensional look created by layering multiple sheets of tissue paper.
Stack about five pieces of tissue paper cut to an appropriate size, accordion-fold them, and secure the center with a twist tie.
Trim the edges with craft zigzag scissors, then gently open the tissue paper one sheet at a time to complete the carnation piece.
Punch a hole in the center of a round piece of cardboard, thread the carnation’s twist tie through to secure it, and attach the cardboard to another piece with a safety pin.
You’ll have a brooch that adds a charming touch to your lapel or bag.
swag
Have you ever seen a bouquet hanging on the wall of a stylish room? That type of decor is called a “swag.” All you need to do is pick up a few artificial flowers from a 100-yen shop and bundle them together however you like—that’s it.
It’s an easy gift idea to try.
Choosing chic colors gives it a more sophisticated look.
If you use fresh or dried flowers, you’ll enjoy a pleasant fragrance, and it’s fun to see how the appearance changes over time.

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.
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.
