Sit the kids or your hubby in front of craft corner today for two easy mommy surprises.
Our first is ...
Pencil or pen flower bouquet- You need flowers, floral tape, ribbon, pencils or pens.
All you do is tape the flower to the pencil and voila. For a pretty affect I added a ribbon around the bottom and a cross for a Happy mothers day tag. You can also buy the foam for flowers and sit it in a flower pot. Then mom has a pencil holder as well. For an added touch paint the flower pot.
The Best gift my son ever gave me for mothers day was a pencil box. Thats right I said it a pencil box.
He took out everything he could find and decorated it. Then in the inside he put a picture of himself . I keep this box by my computer and use it all the time. I have my nail clippers and files in there, some odd and end jewlery. It has become a catch all and from my sweety. Here is a picture.
This is the top and below is the inside.
Next week I will have a few more quick mommy ideas for the last minute crafters!
