5 Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas share

Mother's Day is just 3 little days away! If you haven't made anything yet for mom, we've got some DIY last-minute Mother's Day gift ideas to help save the day.

When time's running short, it's tempting to head out to the store to buy a Mother's Day gift, but a handmade gift for mom doesn't have to take much longer to make than a trip to the mall. Handmade gifts have more heart than something mass-produced, and when you make a gift yourself, you're opting out of the cycle of big box store waste, to boot!

1. Mother's Day Plant Flag

Does your mom like to garden? Instead of cut flowers, you can gift her with something that she can nurture, and make it extra special with a customized flag made from reclaimed paper.

2. Fabric Flowers

If she's not into gardening, you can still skip the cut flowers and the massive carbon footprint that goes with them. Check out these simple-to-make fabric flowers that you can create in a flash!

3. Wine Cork Pendant

Does your mom dig jewelry and a nice glass of wine? Make her a personalized necklace from an old wine cork!

4. Blue Ribbon Brooch

Show your mom that she's #1 today with an upcycled brooch made from book pages.

5. Upcycled Photo Album

Get nostalgic, and gift mom with a handmade photo album full of photos of the family.

Do you have a handmade Mother's Day gift in the works? We'd love to hear what you're making!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Blue Ribbon Brooch share

Mother's Day is on May 12 this year, so if you want to get crafty for mom, you've only got a few days left!

This Sunday is all about making mom feel special, and what says special better than a sweet blue ribbon that you made yourself? Bonnie over at Crafting a Green World used a page from a reclaimed book to create a super cute blue ribbon brooch for her momma, and she shared a tutorial so that you can make one for your mom, too!

What I love about this project is that not only is it totally adorable, it won't take you too long to make. Perfect for us procrastinating children, right?
