Whenever a special occasion comes, be it someone's birthday, wedding,
anniversary or even wedding, you start thinking about the perfect gift for the
same. Same is the case with Mother's Day as well. Weeks before the day is about
to arrive, children start wondering about the gift that will make their mother
feel special. In this context, crafts count a lot. Owing to the fact that you
especially take out some time and undertake effort in making them, they become
exceptionally special for your mom. So, on this Mother's Day, surprise your
mommy by giving her a craft, as a gift. To help you out in the task, we have
listed a number of fun crafts, in the lines below.
How To Make Fun Crafts
Picture Frame
Materials Required
* A Photo (of you and your mother)
* A piece of Foam (larger than the photo)
* Fabric Paint, Sequins, Buttons & Ribbons (for decorating purpose)
* Glue
* Hole-punch
* Scissors
* Thin Ribbon/ Yarn
Instructions
* First of all, you need to draw a heart (or any other shape you like) on the
foam, making sure that it is at least one-inch larger than the photo, from all
the sides. Now, with the help of scissors, cut the shape out.
* Cut a hole inside the foam, for attaching the photo. The hole should be a
little smaller than the photo.
* Glue the photo on the backside of the foam.
* Cut a thick piece of paper, larger than the photo but smaller than the frame.
* Glue the paper on top of the photo (on the backside of the frame).
* Punch a hole towards the top of the frame, with the help of hole-punch.
* Decorate the remaining portion of the frame with fabric paint, sequins,
buttons and ribbons.
* Tie a ribbon or yarn through the punched hole and hang the frame on your
mother's bedroom wall.
Family Tree
Materials Required
* Construction Paper (in brown, green and sky-blue colors)
* Crayons, Paints, or Markers
* Glue
* Scissors
Instructions
* In the first step, you need to draw a tree trunk, along with the branches, on
the brown colored construction paper.
* Using a pair of scissors; cut out the tree trunk from the paper.
* Draw tree leaves on the green construction paper, their size depending upon
the size of the tree trunk drawn earlier. However, ensure that each of the
leaves is big enough to write the name of a person. The number of leaves will
depend upon the number of people you want to represent on the family tree.
* Now, you need to cut out the leaves as well. Thereafter, write the name of all
the family members, one on each leaf.
* Glue the leaves to the tree branches, in a chronological order. The names of
children should be on the topmost branches, on the second level will be the
parents' name and finally, on the last level, grandparents name will appear.
