Mother's day gift ideas?

Mothers day gift ideas :P?

• As you all know, mothers day is coming up. I wanna give my mom something special, I would get her something expensive but 1. I don't have the money 2. I think it's sweeter to make her something. So with that being said! I need art and crafts ideas, something she could like that would be sweet! I'm open to anything. She puts up with me a lot so he deserves a little something :P Im not sure if if my age helps with ideas, but I'm 16, so I have the ability to make something with paper. I just need ideas! Thanks :)

• Answer:

  Write her a letter! Last year for mothers day I did the same thing. What makes it even better is if you decorate the paper. I used stained paper and embroidered the edges. The paper looked so cool and it made it even better for my mom that it was a hand written letter from me. To make this paper, get thick, white construction paper. Lay it flat on a table, and spread an even layer of used, moist coffee ground on it. Let it sit like this for an hour or two. Carfully take the coffee grounds off and rinse the paper with water. And sprinkle salt on it. The best kind of salt to use is the bigger grains like the kind you put out side to melt ice in the winter. Leave it like that for 20 minutes and rinse again. Now, put the paper between two large books, or anything that will keep it pressed flat. Leave it like that over night. When its dried it will look like old paper, it'll have that vintage feel to it. Now, to make it more of an elegant vintage, take yarn (any color, I used white) and a large needle. Witch stitch the edges on the paper all the way around. Practice writing your letter on regular paper, that way it looks nicer when you write it on your stained paper. Personally, I'm buying my mom some diomond earrings. They cost $800, but I've been saving for a few weeks. ;) Good luck!
