Hello again, Party People!
As many of you know, Mother’s Day is coming up fast here in the States. This is kind of a weird one though due to the ongoing COVID crisis. Many of us aren’t able to celebrate all together, or we’re finding it difficult to celebrate at all since most stores are closed and shipping deadlines have been delayed.
For that reason, I thought I’d share this simple tutorial to help you create some fun and relaxing gifts for mom! What’s so special about this DIY is that it’s super kid-friendly and can be made using items you probably already have around your house (I didn’t have to make a single purchase for this tutorial!). Bonus- you can whip up all of these crafts in about 30 minutes or less. How amazing is that?! Perfect if you’re trying to keep these prezzies a secret while you isolate with their recipient!
Everything you need is in the video below:
