Flowers are everywhere around Mother’s Day…but did you know you can make them yourself? Ok, not real flowers of course, though in some ways the ideas below are even better (because, as any mom will attest, the best gifts are made by their kids’ hands). No matter what your age or skill-level, we have five flowery ways to make her day: a colorful felt flower garden that doubles as chore coupons, floral stencils to fancy up tea towels or cloth napkins, kid-friendly stitched paper flowers, a paper flower bouquet made from card stock and felt flower corsages Mom can wear with pride. Just click, print and start creating...all for the love of Mom!
