Save Money Making Easy Mother’s Day Gifts
You don’t have to spend a lot of money on something from the store to make Mother’s Day special for your mom. Checkout these easy crafts we have done the last two years for our grandmother’s. And guess what? They absolutely loved them. In fact, I would venture to say there is nothing else they wanted more. Plus the kids had fun making them, and they didn’t break the bank. They are a memory that the grandmother’s get to keep and look at everyday.
Footprint Garden Stone
I love this because it is a way to capture your children’s little hand or footprint forms and hold them in time. You just get a Garden Stone Kit from your local craft store like Joann’s, Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. Use the 40% off coupons that come out every week in the Sunday ad inserts to get these at a great price. Or print one of the ones below.
Handprint Paint Canvas
This one is super simple and quick. You just use whatever paint you have on-hand, paint your kiddos hands and then put it onto a stretched cotton canvas. Then use a paintbrush to put the message like “Happy Mother’s Day” and the year. Be sure to document the year, you won’t remember years from now!
- Michael’s 40% off coupon – If you are not already registered for their newsletter, new sign ups will get a 40% off one purchase coupon.
- Hobby Lobby 40% off printable coupon – 40% off any one regular priced item. Coupon valid Monday, April 26, 2010 through Saturday, May 1, 2010.
