A mother is the most important person in every one's life. She is responsible
for making us better individuals of tomorrow. So, a day especially devoted to
mothers in the world, gives children an opportunity to honor and express
gratitude towards the most significant individual. While any one can get a gift
from the market, it takes time and creativity to make one. This year, make it
extra special for your mommy, by making her a cute and adorable craft. In the
following lines, we have provided some crafts ideas for adults, on Mothers Day.
Mothers Day Crafts Ideas For Adults
Flip Book
Materials Required
* Colored Index Cards
* Hole Punch
* Scissors
* Card stock
* Small Metal Binder Rings
Instructions
* The first step would be to cut the colored index cards in such a way so that
each card measures 3 by 5 inches.
* Now, decorate the cards with poems, drawings, and heartfelt messages.
* Using the hole puncher, make 2 holes at the top of each card. However, make
sure that the holes in all the cards are in the same place.
* For the stand, cut the card stock in a rectangular shape, measuring 5 by 10
inch. Fold the rectangle into half widthwise.
* With the help of an index card, punch 2 holes below the fold. Now, fold each
end of the card stock 2 inches in from the edge, then use scissors to cut a
1-inch slit in the center of each flap.
* Placing the folded card at the bottom, pile up the index cards. Bind all of
them together using 2 small metal binder rings.
* The last step would be to interlock the slits in the flaps of the card stock
to create a triangular display stand.
Sparkling Sun Catcher
Materials Required
* 2 1/2 feet of 20-gauge Beading Wire
* 25 to 30 Translucent Colored Beads
* Ruler
* Wire Snips
* Spice Bottle or similarly shaped object
* Clear Fishing Line
Instructions
* The first step would be to bend or twist hanging loop at one of the end of the
wire.
* Now, thread one of the beads into one of the ends of the wire and push it so
that it sits about 1 inch from the bottom of the hanging loop.
* The next step would be to twist the wire in a Z shape so as to lock the bead
in the place. Press the wire so that it runs around the bead.
* Continue the process using the same method. The distance between two beads
should be approximately an inch.
* Make sure you leave at least 1 1/2 inch of wire at the end. Wrap the last bead
with it at least for two times. Cut any excess wire.
* Now, mold the sun catcher by wrapping it around a small spice bottle. For the
finishing touch, gently tighten the top and bottom coils.
* The last step would be to bind a fishing line to the loop at the top and hang
the sun catcher.
