Mother's day DIYs

Yey guys! Tomorrow is Mother's day (here in Spain) and I thought I could give you some ideas for your mother's gifts. I'm gonna show you two gifts that you can make yourself, well not everything but... well, you're gonna see it right now!


Flowers


Yes, that's it, very simple, but we're gonna put a bit of us in this flowers, we're gonna wrap them nicely and add a little tag. :)

The first step is buy a type of flour, of the type that she likes the most (if you know it) or the colour.










We're gonna need this things:
  • Wrapping paper
  • Cellophane (I'm using a yellow one)
  • A piece of string
  • Love :3
  • Cardboard 
  • An elastic band
  • A paper punch
  • Scissors
  • A pen


First we have to cut a rectangle of cellophane, and put it below the pot with the flours.


Then we take the pot with the two hands togheter with the cellophane and we put the elastic band.





And now we cut a rectangle of wrapping paper, but a little bit smaller than the cellophane one. And we do the same.


Now with the cardboard we're gonna make a little tag, and using a paper punch we make the round hole. Or we can buy the tag, there are cute ones in Mr.Wonderful Shop.


Now we write our love message to mom, (I painted the circle with a brown marker) and on the elastic band we tie a knot, we put the tag on the string, and then we tie a bow.



That's all!

Makeup box


This gift is for my cousin, but I thought that is cool for any woman, so I modified some things and I made it for mum's.

I bought this box with some make up in, and I decided to put a little of me, and more things.

We need:
  • Tissue paper
  • A little box
  • Makeup products
  • Cardboard
  • A pen
  • Double-faced Scotch tape (or just scotch tape)




First we rip the tissue paper (of 10cm more or less), we make little balls and we put them on the box. 

Now all we have to do is distribute the products in floors. We put paper balls and some products, then we cover them with more paper balls and we do the same steps until there's no more makeup to add. Then we cut a square of tissue paper and we cover the top of the full box.



Now with the cardboard we make a target with our message with the shape of the cap to put it in.


Now we put the Double-faced Scotch tape on the back of the target, or we make a circle with a stripe of scotch tape with the sticking side out.

And we stick our card on the inner side of the cap.



That's it! ^^
