2. Create a Mother’s Day Card Mobile

Mothers always love a homemade card or gift. Are you or someone you know pondering what to do for Mom? How about a twist on a Mother’s Day card this year? Help the grands Create a Mother’s Day Card Mobile. So fun!
Moms are known for having 20 irons in the fire at a time. A card that is a mobile can help express appreciation for a person that is multi-faceted. You can choose a series of small objects and paper shapes to hang from the card to express these many dimensions of the person you love. There are ideas below.
Mobiles are so much fun to make. There is no limit to the creative ways you could create a Mother’s Day card mobile.
This Create a Mother's Day Card Mobile example has four items hung on one level. This is great for the littles as it is easy to balance. But you could hang a series of items from the card and hang more than one item per string, one below the other. This would take more patience and work to get the mobile to balance when hung up. That would be great for an older grand that is up for the challenge.

This craft is a terrific learn-to-embroider project, and a great way to practice foundational hand embroidery stitches!
5. DIY Alphabet Photography Art Cards
https://welcometonanas.com/diy-alphabet-photography-art-cards
I saw a picture hung on the wall in an office the other day- and it was Alphabet Photography. The picture consisted of a word (BLESS) and each letter in the word was a picture of objects that formed that letter.
So for example, the letter “S” was a picture of some rod iron railing in an “S” shape.
Give this a try with your mother’s first name or the word “MOM” or “MOTHER”!
Of course I wanted to try it and see if it would work well as a Welcome To Nanas craft project.
The answer is yes it did, ! Let's go for it!

https://welcometonanas.com/diy-stained-glass-valentines-day-card
These DIY Stained Glass Cards are stunning, and so simple to make. I’m a sucker for anything with a stained glass look, how about you?
Can’t you just see your little “Tiffany glass” artist handing these cards to Mom or Nana? The light through the colorful heart window will shine right into their hearts!
Then can’t you just see the cards getting taped up on the window to let the light shine through as soon as they’ve read the message inside? That is a perfect “pepper upper” on any day of the year. This is a simple idea but creates a beautiful Mother's Day gift.
I’m smiling at the thought of it. Can’t wait any longer, let’s get started!
8. DIY Candy Bar Card
https://welcometonanas.com/valentines-day-candy-bar-card
Want a sweet way to express your feelings to your Mom this Mother’s Day? A Candy Bar Card will be just the ticket.
This creative card idea was made for Valentine’s Day but is easily adapted for Mother’s Day.
This was a really fun project. I was able to get most of the candy bars from one store, but had to pick up a few more by making a couple more stops. It was worth it when we saw the expressions on our grand’s faces! “This is amazing!” was the consensus when the card was unveiled.
This message worked by using the candy bars marked in bold capitals and underlined. You may not be able to find one of these candy bars and may need to adjust the message a bit as a result. I think that you will find most of them fairly easily. You may even come up with other ideas of your own.

It is such an easy and flexible idea that can be used for any season or any holiday.
Try making one and writing a message on it for Mother’s Day. She’ll love it!
I chose to do cutout designs and string art of a fish and a butterfly for spring. But there’s so many different shapes that you could choose.
10. Glue Line Painting Watercolor Wash
https://welcometonanas.com/glue-line-painting-watercolor-wash
Let’s try glue line painting today! This is a fun technique that involves drawing plus introduces us to watercolor and watercolor wash.
This art project is a good one for school age kids and bigger kids too, of course!
We will make a simple drawing on watercolor paper, trace over our drawing with glue, and let it dry. Then we'll do a watercolor wash on the watercolor paper between those glue lines. I'm getting excited!
Fold the paper into a card and give it to Mom for Mother’s Day with your special message written inside.
