This clay flower pot makes a perfect gift idea and is incredibly easy to make. The hardest part of this DIY is deciding which clay color to use (Team Rainbow here).

Treat your mom to a relaxing bubble bath with our DIY bubble bath bars made with natural ingredients. We recommend putting them in a jar like this – they’re too pretty not to show off!

We love all things wicker and rattan – especially this cane candle holder. This candle holder is a gift that she can use again and again and that suits almost any interior style.

She’ll absolutely love having a soft blanket to snuggle with and this DIY happens to be for a no-sew fleece blanket with a tie – super easy to make!

If your mom loves jewelry, you could make her an acrylic earring holder. The “marbled” bottom is made of peel and stick paper to save on the budget.

Speaking of jewellery, these gold statement earrings are also suitable for DIY and are another great gift idea. It only takes a few minutes to make!

Homemade potpourri is way better than store-bought. You can use plants and herbs that you have collected or bought in stores and customize the scent with different essential oils.

How cute are these clay bead DIY bracelets? Making these can become a really fun hobby – you might end up making them for all your friends too.

A glittery letter keychain or a set of glittery acrylic coasters are fun (and useful) gift ideas, and just as fun to make. Acrylic projects are among our favorites; These DIY daisy earrings are included!

Candles make great gifts for any occasion – especially Mother’s Day. In fact, we have an entire beginner’s guide dedicated to making homemade candles.

We have many DIY candle options to choose from, such as beeswax candles (they have a light honey scent), soy candles, and the adorable flower-shaped pillar candle pictured above.

The soothing crackle of a homemade wooden wick candle is hard to beat. And another little tip: we love to use leftover jars from old candles for the production new ones.

Speaking of cozy gifts, make her a bedtime pillow spray that she’s sure to love. It will feel fancy! Sweet Dreams!

We have more DIYs like this in our spa archive.

When it comes to displaying and organizing jewelry, our marbled clay palm leaf ring dish and DIY bowls are super easy to make and pretty enough to display on a bedside table.

If your mom loves to cook or bake, she’ll appreciate these printable recipe cards presented in a pretty recipe tin. You could even attach a recipe card to a giftable food like our homemade cookie butter.

A set of DIY pineapple shaped oven mitts would be equal parts adorable And functional. Also this cherry pie pot holder.

We like cakes, but you can add any phrase you like to this seamless kitchen towel. Add a cookbook to this pom pom towel for the perfect gift combination!

Something like our calming Rosemary Mint Bath Salts or our Epsom Salts Bath Bath are perfect for a relaxing evening at home. You can also combine this gift with a good book to read.

If she loves plants, make her a cute DIY hanging planter. You don’t even have to buy actual plants to fit in this planter – something like this would be perfect!

We love using these reusable (and eco-friendly) DIY food wraps for leftovers. You can combine these wraps with a sweet cheese board, for example.

Doing laundry is something we all have to do. So why not make a set of wool dryer balls out of it right away? You could add some essential oils (we like to use lavender and lemon for the wash).

If you’d like to include a card, we’ve created two free Mother’s Day card designs to choose from and print at home. Or you could create a unique pop-up card like Emma did here.
