100 DIY Mother's Day Gift Ideas Because Handmade Gifts For Mom Come From the Heart
Where would we be without the beautiful souls that took care of you growing up or even into adulthood? Moms, grandmas, godmothers or mother figures that stepped up for you when you needed them most. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." If you have an angel mother, grandmother, godmother, or beloved woman in your life that you want to say "thank you" to this Mother's Day, you can do that with a beautiful and expensive gift or you can say it from the heart with family-friendly DIY Mother's Day gifts.After all, moms don't want fancy things. Sure, they like them, but that's not the point; it's the thought that counts anyway. And all parents know there's nothing more thoughtful than a handmade craft. It says, "I love you and I want to thank you."So, if you want to get crafty this Mother's Day—which is this Sunday, May 12!—and are looking for some fun and easy Mother's Day craft ideas (that all ages can join in on!), here are 100 of the best DIY Mother's Day craft ideas.Parade aims to feature only the best products and services.

DIY Window Box Planter
Glass Doctor
For the mom with a green thumb. To make this flower box:Measure the inside width of the window. Using a carpenter’s square, mark one board to length. Then, mark two more boards to this length plus 1 1/2 inches. Cut all boards with a saw. Measure and cut side pieces equal to the width of the boards. Use simple butt joints to construct the pieces into a box. Line up the bottom edge of the front of the box flush along the edge of the bottom piece. Mark and drill 1/16-inch holes in the face of the front board at each end and at every 4 inches along the joint line, about 3/8-inch from the edge. Put the board in place, mark the screw holes on the bottom board and drill starter holes into the edge of the board at the marks. Repeat for back and side pieces. Add glue to the front edge of the bottom board and set the front board flush into place. Fortify the joint with 1 1/4-inch stainless-steel or brass flathead wood screws through the predrilled holes.DIY Window Box from Brad Roberson, president of Glass Doctor, a Neighborly company
