Handmade Craft Ideas For Mother's Day
Flower Pot Recipe Holder
Materials Required
- 3" Flower Pot
- Moss
- Small Flowers, 5-8 for each
- Plastic Fork, one for each recipe
- Plaster of Paris
- Paints
- Newspaper
Instructions
- The first step to make a flower pot recipe holder would be to paint the pot. You can either go for spray painting or any other form.
- Lay a newspaper on the table. Now, mix the plaster as directed on its cover. Once you have mixed it, let it settle a bit.
- As the plaster gets a little stiff, pour it into the pot.
- Now, put in a small batch of moss and insert flowers in it.
- Place the plastic fork in the pot with its head up.
- Now, wait for 6 to 12 hours. This would ensure that the plaster has dried completely.
- Give the recipe holder to your mom and tell her how to stick the recipes on the forks.
Makeup Bag
- Sturdy Fabric, with pretty pattern
- Colorful Buttons, to match fabric
- Thread, to match fabric
- Scissors
- Needle or Sewing Machine
- Permanent Fabric Glue
Instructions
- The first step to make a makeup bag would be to cut the fabric into two pieces - the first measuring 9” x 8” and the second measuring 5” x 8”.
- Place the first piece of fabric right side up on table and the second piece right side down, on top of larger piece of fabric.
- Using glue, line up the bottom (8” side) of both the pieces on one end and stick the edges together.
- Once the sides are stuck, flip the fabric over, so the wrong sides are facing up.
- Now, in the non-glued 8" end, fold the fabric so that 1/2inches or less of the right side of the fabric is folded over the wrong side of the fabric.
- Glue the inside of the fold to create finished edges.
- Glue a seam with wrong sides facing up. Seam along the long sides and make sure that all the edges have been stitched.
- Now, with the wrong side on the upper side, fold the smaller end (5” x 8”) and glue it, putting the smaller and larger pieces together. This would complete the formation of the bag
- Fold long top flap (9” x 8”) down, so that it meets the top of the bag. Glue the complete inside of the flap, so that wrong sides stick together.
- Using scissors; cut a small hole in the middle of the flap.
- Now, for the placement of the button, fold the flap over the bag and mark the position through the hole, using a pen or pencil.
- Stitch the button. Make sure it is done securely.
- Now, all you need to do is secure the button into the hole. The makeup bag is ready for your mom to use.
