Mother’s Day is right around the corner and you still haven’t got a gift? Don’t worry – we have you covered. This year skip the stores and make your mom something she’ll truly treasure. We found some fabulous DIY projects from a few of the best bloggers out there. Check ‘em out and surprise mom with something homemade this Sunday.
Terrific Terrarium - Terrariums make a great addition to any space, so help mom add some gorgeous greenery to her office, kitchen, bedroom, or den with this fun project from DIY Just Cuz. Brittany shows us not only how to put a terrarium together, but also how to easily etch a message onto the glass. Whether you want mom to know that she’s the best or that you love her, this sweet gift is a great idea. Click here for the full tutorial.
Fierce Flowers - Is your mom a tea drinker? She’ll love these super sweet, super simple flowery tea bags from Kipi. Cut off your tea’s tag and attach a beautiful bloom. Smaller is better, (Kipi recommends carnations), but if you can find mom’s favorite flowers they’ll work well too. Turn afternoon tea into an absolute delight with this adorable craft. Click here for the full tutorial.
Heart Holders - Spread the love and show mom how much you care about her with these copper photo holders. Homemade Ginger teaches us how to bend the wire into a heart shape and create the ultimate photo holder. All you need is some wire, glue, wooden blocks, and cute photos of you and your family. Click here for the full tutorial.
Playful Platter - We are head over heels for this cute craft from Simply + Kierste! Grab a plain white serving platter and red paint from your local dollar store and borrow your family members for a few minutes to recreate this sentimental DIY. Mom will be reminded of how much she’s loved every time she makes you and the family dinner. Click here for the full tutorial.
Soothing Salts - Pamper mom on her special day with homemade bath salts. Kitchy Kitchen teaches us how to make two different types of bath soaks: Soothing Lavender Oatmeal and Rosy Coconut Sea Salt. If your mom loves to unwind after a long day with an even longer bath, this is the perfect gift for her. Click here for the full tutorial.
Marvelous Mod Podge - This final project is sort of a combination of a few others on this list. Mod Podge Rocks teaches us how to use old photos, a planter, and the power of mod podge to create a beautiful craft for mom. Click here for the full tutorial.
We hope these DIYs help you make your mom feel appreciated, loved, and special this Mother’s Day. If you tackle any of these crafts please share the finished product with @HomeShows on Twitter and Instagram. We love seeing what you create! And of course, from our family to yours, Happy Mother’s Day!

It's Wellness Wednesday and today I'm endorsing all things TEA! Tea is a great alternative to sugary sodas or juices, and many teas have several health benefits (particularly green tea).
Since I'm sure many of you are already tea drinkers, I have decided to show you some alternative recipes for tea beverages.

Recently found on Pinterest, I had to share this EXTREMELY easy do-it-yourself craft. This one’s cheap, quick, and fun for the whole family.
The Steps
1. Pick up some plain ceramic mugs, cups, plates, or whatever from the dollar or discount store (you don’t have to spend much on these).
2. Grab some permanent Sharpie markers (any color will work).
3. Write, draw, or design whatever you want on the ceramic (10 minutes or more depending on your design).
4. Place the craft on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
5. DONE! Be sure to cool the craft completely before using/washing.
These make for great personalized gifts & party favors!
