So we have gathered up some of our most enjoyed projects to make with your own hands, this Mother’s Day. We want to make it even easier for you by providing you selection of our 5×7″ Custom Watercolor Mother’s Day Cards! See the end of this post!

What makes Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts Special?

Making something with your own or your children’s hands can mean more than a store bought gift. But I totally get it, “Emily, I’m not crafty”!

So for those of you who aren’t the crafty type, perhaps mom would love something for her garden or garage this next season. Check out our Favorite Garden Tools Gift Guide!
