As we all know by now mother's day is just around the corner and you might be looking for the perfect gift for mom´s special day. Buying gifts are great but sometimes we want to switch it up every year and maybe we don't want to spend a lot of money. This DIY gift idea is great for children and everyone who wants to be creative for this mother's day. Sometimes the gifts you make yourself with time and dedication are the best gifts you can receive.
1. Dandelion Flower Jar
After seeing these dandelion flowers everywhere, I decided that I wanted to make some myself. After seeing a video, I thought they were easy to make and decided to place my own twist on this DIY. I will link the video down below where I learned how to make these flowers. Most of the materials were about a dollar and I think the most expensive item was the yarn, which is about 3 to 4 dollars. As you can see this DIY is not expensive nor hard to make and ends up being a great gift for mom.
1. Take your fork and place your pipe cleaner next to it (leave about an inch of the pipe cleaner at the top)
2. Now you take your yarn, wrap it around your pipe cleaner and fork about 30-40 times
3. Twist the pipe cleaner together, wrap up towards the flower and down
4. Take the green yarn and tie it around the base of the flower
5. Knot the yarn and remove the fork
6. Wrap it from the base to the stem of the flower, cut and glue the end
7. Grab the scissors and cut the loops to form your flower
8. Take your fork once again to fluff your flowers up and you're done!!
Optional steps
You can stop here and gift you mom a single flower or you can make as many as you want and make a bouquet. But my favorite way is to place them in a mason jar with a bow, which looks so nice. 9. Now take your mason jar, remove the lid and place your flowers inside 10. Grab your bag of brown shed and fill your jar 12. Now you are done and are left with an aesthetic dandelion mason jar that your mom is going to love
