If you or your kids have even the tiniest hint of craftiness they can make this simple but very cute Mother's Day gift for tomorrow! I found all the items around the house and it didn't take long to make!
What you'll need:
Baby food glass jar or similar
Household paint
lace/twine/raffia/wool
A tag (bought or make one)
dirt
Stolen flower from the garden, or you could use a little fern?
1. drop a bit of paint into the clean glass jar, twist the jar around until the paint covers the inside, turn it upside down onto a cooling rack placed on some newspaper. Pop this in the airing cupboard over night to dry.
2. Once dry, tie round the raffia and lace and attach the gift card, i wrote happy mother's day (of course).
3. Much to my husband disgust i used a tea spoon to pop the dirt into the jar, then pop in the flower (don't forget to get some good roots on the plant). Finished!
Very sweet!
