Flower Gift Box – Mother’s Day Craft

easy mother's day craft

I can’t speak for you, but at my house, I am the “make everything awesome for special occasions” person.  I bake the cakes, get the balloons, and of course, I plan the kid made gifts. Therefore, when I am the recipient, I miss out on the handmade stuff. This Mother’s Day flower gift box craft takes care of that and gets your partner or other non-crafty people off the hook, too. Your child can make you a box and while that is no surprise the gift inside still can be.

  1. Begin by gathering your materials. You will need some paint, glue, pom-poms (sequins would be rad), coffee filters or cupcake liners and a box with a lid.kids mother's day craft
  2. Start by painting your coffee liner. I am teaching my daughter colors right now. So, I line the paints up and ask her to choose which then gives me a chance to label the color. ” Which do you want? The purple paint? Nice choice!” I don’t limit or control which she chooses. It just gives me a chance to be very deliberate in labeling them.mother's day craft for kids
  3. Paint!
  4. Choose another color when the enthusiasm wanes.
  5. Next, add glue to the middle. Make sure you have a drop cloth or in our case an old cutting board because the filters will let glue through.
  6. You can add pompoms.
  7. You can keep adding pompoms! At this point, it is a good place to add sequins if you have them.
  8. Glue to the top of the box. We didn’t have to add much to the box because there was so much seeping through.
  9. Finally, let the flower gift box dry.
