Mother’s Day DIY
This past weekend at a shower we all hosted, we did a DIY mug activity. It worked out great! We all got to make a mug for the bride (so she could have a set of mugs) and a mug for ourselves. It was so much fun to be able to be creative and make a gift! Here is two examples of what we made:
But what a perfect gift to make for Mother’s Day! You can make them for mom’s, grandma’s, friends that are moms, soon to be moms! You can even have kids help! (Ideas below on our pinterest page) It is a fun way to bless someone, and the gift will actually get used! Everyone uses mugs. Even if you don’t like coffee or tea… maybe ice cream??
