10 DIY Mother’s Day gifts anyone can make, even if your crafting skills are nonexistent

Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 13th, and if you start now, you probably have enough time to make that homemade gift you’ve always wanted to tackle. Even if you don’t have anything in mind, there are many DIY Mother’s Day gifts you can choose to make. Let’s face it, your mother probably deserves something more personal than an enamel pin that says #1 Mom — though that would make a pretty sweet addition to your Mother’s Day card.

If you don’t think of yourself as much of a crafter, and you’re more into NDD (Next Day Delivery) than DIY, don’t worry, it’s never too late to get into homemade arts and crafts. In fact, you might just enjoy making a beautiful gift for your mother, and who knows? It could spark a new passion for you, and you could very well decide to make Pinterest your homepage after trying out a homemade gift for mom.

The real reason you should make a DIY gift for you mama isn’t just utilizing the right side of your brain to its creative potential. It’s about showing how much you love and appreciate your mother, or motherly figure, in a thoughtful way. If it doesn’t turn out perfectly, your mom probably won’t even care. In fact, she’ll probably hang it up on the wall alongside your kindergarten finger paintings all the same.

Here are some DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas to get you crafting.
