WOW is it really May already. I tell you the older I get the faster time
goes by. And this year is zipping by (oh
did I just give away my age?). Mother’s
Day is in just a couple weeks. And since
my mother reads my blogs I will be posting a few mother’s day gift ideas so
that she has no clue what she is getting (this would be easier mom if you would
just not read this!). Ah but I guess she
is supporting me by reading it so I should not be to upset. And hey you all get to see several ideas’
that you might want to make for this special day too.
I already posted our Garden Turtle idea which my daughter is
actually in the process of making another one for my Mother-In-Law. She loves to garden and I bet she will be so
excited to have that turtle made by her grand baby in the garden for her to see
every day. My mom would like one too, maybe we will make her one or maybe we wont.
For my mom, well I am not sure what she is getting, but one
idea is the above flowers and vase my daughter made. I think this is such a cute idea for a mother’s
day gift. And I know my mom would love
to have it in her office and show off what her grand baby made, though that does
not mean this is her actual gift for mother’s day we have a few others we will
be making and you never know what she will get.
Supplies
Foam flower shapes
Buttons
22 gauge floral wire
A vase
Pom pom’s
Pipe cleaners
Glue
Directions
For each flower choose a foam flower and 3 buttons. Then start threading your wire through all of
them.
Once they are all on your wire, bring your wire back through
them all again (see picture)
Then twist your wire around to hold all the buttons on.
Our flower shapes had a big hole in the middle so we glued
our first button to the foam flower
Hang your flowers upside down till the glue dries (we used
our key rack to hang them from)
Now you can leave your vase how it is or decorate it like we
did. We glued pom pom’s all over the
vase
then put some pipe cleaners around the top and bottom. You can decorate any way you want too.
We then filled the vase up with some pom poms and put our
flowers in. This hides the wire and well it looks cute too.
Question of the Day: If you have a blog does your mom read it?
My mom doesn't read it...but some of my kids do! What a fun project...looks like you'll have a happy mother's day!
