This Mother’s Day we’ve compiled an amazing list of 10 creative handmade gift Ideas for mom that kids can make themselves. Try some lace painting, or craft some gigantic flowers, or maybe press dried flowers into air dry clay.

Are you looking for some creative handmade gift ideas for Mom? We’ve compiled a great list of ideas for kids to craft this week that are sure to become treasured gifts.

1. Fabric flowers from Purple Twig Studio
These fabric flowers are made similar to paper mache. We offered the children many different varieties of pre-cut gigantic petal shaped fabric to choose from. Those were dipped into fabric stiffener and laid onto balloons. I bet you could also use diluted Mod Podge.
I also used chopsticks with wire wrapped around them to make the stigma. I love the black paper to make the stamen. That’s Bonnie’s great idea from Make-It-Your-Own-Blog. It stands out beautifully and graphically against the colorful petals.

2. Rainbow Bouquets for mom with Riverside Art Studio
I remember decoupaging jars as a kid. It’s such a fun way to brighten & decorate glass jars from the recycling bin. And those coffee filter flowers are beautiful additions that create such a colorful gift for mom.

3. Queen Mom Portraits for Mother’s Day by Art Bar
These Mother’s Day portraits make wonderful kid-made gifts, especially with the added touch of the crown! A fun idea for preschoolers through grade school!

4. Giant coffee filter flowers with Purple Twig Studio
These giant coffee filter flowers are amazing! (You could also use regular size filters).
“We laid the filter onto a balloon and then painted it using diluted acrylic paint (diluted so much that it looks like watercolor paint). We then layered another coffee filter on top and painted that one. Once dried we added a chopstick through the middle and attached fringed paper to make the stamen.”

5. Pressed flowers in Air Dry Clay
My kids & I made our own versions of this beautiful project, but be sure to check out Ali’s over at Creation Space. This is a simple, delicate wall hanging for mom that my kids loved making.

6. Felt Succulent Garden with Purple Twig Studio
These little succulent gardens are so sweet! Samara of Purple Twig wrote an entire tutorial for The Artful Parent if you’d like to create your own handmade gift for mom.
7. LOTS of Mother’s Day ideas with hello, Wonderful
I especially think those paper Hyacinth flowers would be really fun to make along with some floral herb perfume!

8. Giant Watercolor Flowers with Riverside Art Studio
