DIY | Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s Day is this Sunday and in honor of my crafty awesome Mom, I created two DIY’s. One DIY is very similar to these jars, a catch-all for things like buttons, thread, and other baubles of things and the wreath was a simple and darling project that I thought would look nice in my Mom’s office/craft room.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and my Mom!
Felt Wreath
Need:
- Felt squares in various colors
- good scissors
- wood embroidery hoop
- ribbon
- and glue
How:
Begin by cutting the felt into leaf shapes. I do this free hand (while watching a movie). For a small hoop cut three felt square and double the amount for the next size up, etc.
After you have your leaf shapes, warm up your hot glue and begin glueing the felt leafs around the hoop on teach side (two sides, front and back)work your way around your entire hoop. Finish with a ribbon. Be sure to face wreath, its best side forward.
Fabric wrapped lid with critter
Need:
- glass jar with lid
- square of fabric
- spray adhesive
- scissors
- glue
- critter
How:
Take your lid and lay your lid on the fabric and draw a circle leaving about an inch around the lid. Then cut the shape. Spray a generous amount of adhesive to the lid, lay the fabric and soon it will start to stick. Cut off any excess fabric. To attach a critter just use hot glue to attach. Allow everything to dry for at least eight hours.
