Personalize your gift with a Happy Mother’s Day message, names, dates or whatever you choose. The featured Crayola Fabric Markers are kid friendly, easier to manipulate and less messy than traditional fabric paints. (Remember, safety first when allowing children to use any art materials or permanent markers. Make sure there is proper adult supervision, adequate protection for furnishings and follow manufacturer’s directions completely.)

"Picture of Me" Frame: Why not create a homemade picture frame to display your child’s photo? Start by having an adult cut out the center of a plastic coffee can cover. Make the hole just large enough to frame your photo. This is the basic structure for a circular photo frame. You can also use sturdy gift box tops or cardboard to create rectangular, square or odd shaped frames. Once you have your photo frame structure, all you need to do is decorate!!!
- Yarn Frames: Roll yarn into small balls which can pass easily through the inside of your frame. Loop the yarn through the photo frame and tie a knot. Have your child continue to pass the yarn ball through the hole until the yarn covers the entire picture frame surface. Tie a knot at the end. **Place a favorite photo behind the frame. Attach your photo to the frame with tape, glue or safety pins. Cover the back of the photo frame with matching felt. Finish off by attaching a simple hook or string on the back for hanging. Yarn covered photo frames look very festive especially when using multi-colored yarn.
- Jigsaw Frames: Glue old jigsaw puzzle pieces so that they cover the surface of your photo frame (Don’t forget to leave an opening for the photo to show through.) Puzzle pieces should be layered and can extend slightly beyond frame boundaries. Paint the jigsaw pieces with your choice of colors. After the paint is completely dry, place a favorite photo behind the frame. Follow directions as indicated above.**
- Other Frames: Use your imagination to create a unique look by gluing uncooked macaroni (elbow, stars, various shapes), colored buttons, glitter etc. onto the surface of your photo frame. You can either paint over, under or around these assorted objects. Follow directions as indicated above.**
Tissue Flower Bouquet: Sending flowers can be as easy as assembling some pipe cleaner and tissue paper flower bouquets. Cut out several circles of colored tissue paper (use a coffee can top as an outline). Stick a green pipe cleaner through the center of the first circle and fold the tip of the pipe cleaner over so that the circle is securely attached. Stick the second circle through the pipe cleaner so that it is directly underneath the first circle. Place a small drop of glue at the center of both the first and second circles. Gently pinch the base of the circles together . Repeat this procedure with several circles until you have created a full carnation type flower. Try using different tissue paper colors in order to create a variety of flowers for your bouquet.

Mother’s Day Poem: Get those creative writing and thinking skills to work by creating a personalized Mother’s Day poem. For the best results, keep it short and sweet. Poems can be as simple as writing a sentence or adjective for each letter in a person’s name (ie: GRANDMA: G is for great: R is for really special, etc.) or can take the form of more traditional poetry. Place the finished poem on poster board and decorate with hearts, dried flowers or other art supplies. These labors of love can be placed in inexpensive frames so they can be displayed in a home or office.
