DIY Craft Baskets for Mother's Day Gifts

Alright, I will admit I have ulterior motives for writing this post. I'm a Mother who would love to get a DIY Craft Basket this Mother's Day from one or all of my kids. These will make great gifts for any crafty mother. I will also admit that the idea is not mine. I wish I could take the credit - it's such a great idea, but no. It comes from My Favorite Things. Well, it's a favorite thing for me, too.

Author Mandee Sears tells you how to put together some interesting gift baskets for mothers. She talks about a basket for scrapbooking moms. Well I'll take that a bit further. Try starting with her idea - use a craft supply totebag - then add the kinds of things your own mother would like in her favorite crafting projects.

Think about a knitting or crocheting mom. Yarns are the first thing you think about, but try adding some unique or fancy yarns that your mom might not typically get. Add in some sweet little extras. A crochet hook organizer, stitch markers, even needle tips will work well in your DIY craft basket. Maybe a book of new patterns will be just perfect for your mom.

If your mom is into jewelry making, a new bead organizer, loaded with plenty of unusual beads, makes a great gift for her. Of course, this idea works great for just about any craft project. Art brushes, pencils or paints all lined up in a new craft supply organizer.

So get your thinking caps on and give your crafty mother a charming and welcome gift this Mother's Day. DIY craft baskets are ideal!
