Mother's Day is coming this second Sunday of May and if you like your gift to be extra-special, try these 8 DIY crafts that are nice home decors, too!
We're sure your practical moms won't mind.
1. Hanging Wall Plaque
Take a look at this suggestion by Craft Cuts. Just by using a craft board, wooden letters, special shapes like heart, flowers or stars, you can make a special hanging plaque for your mom.
You may use nice adjectives that aptly describe your mom or even nouns that say how much she means to you like "Angel," "Treasure," "Gem," or even your term of endearment for her. Just make sure she loves the colors you pick. Follow the instructions on the site and you will have a nice living room or dining decor, too.
What's special about this gift is that you can tell her how important she is to all of you in a unique way. Better prepare a handkerchief, too.
2. Vintage Teacup Candles
With all the things she does, wouldn't it be nice for her to relax and spend a nice candle-scented spa moment for herself? Using vintage tea cups, you can create candles for your mother, suggests Mashable. She may put them in her bedroom or the bathroom as simple decors to enliven the room. Here's a tip, you may use various colors to create a more attractive collection.
3. Artwork on Dishes or Mugs
This idea from Southern Savers will touch your mother's heart. If you have a younger brother or sister, you may scan his or her art onto water transfer paper and put it on some dishes. You may also use your own artwork on mugs or tea cups, too.
4. Array of Indoor Plants
Giving plants in nice containers is another great suggestion from Mashable. Such a nice scenery will melt her stress away. Just make sure to give her indoor plants that are easy to maintain. But if she's a garden expert, you may add some nice flowering plants, too.
For 5-8, these ideas are suggested by Country Living.

This amazing idea seen on Lulu's blog is perfect for Mother's day as well as a spring decor. Although the project does not use real flowers, the effect is still the same as it freshens up the room.
