You'll be able to personalize it specifically for your mother (and it won’t go unnoticed).


What’s her favorite color? Favorite flower? Favorite phrase? Take the time to think it through and incorporate her favorite things in a meaningful way. DIY Cricut cards are a perfect option for you to consider to make your mom feel special this Mother’s Day, and the best part is that they’re a beginner-friendly, easy DIY!

2. Drinkware

 

Drinkware is another popular idea for DIY Cricut Mother’s Day gifts. You can get a unique design to enhance a mug or wine glass to make your mom smile. You will want to use permanent vinyl, or sublimation ink on a sublimation blank though, so the decoration will not come off over time as your mom uses it.


This is another great example of a fun and functional Mother’s Day gift and you can add more of a WOW factor by giving her a customized mug and wine glass combo! After all, who doesn’t need the occasional “before work” and “after work” beverage?

For example, you can add a Mother's Day quote or phrase to make her feel extra special, or maybe something funny to make her laugh. You can also think about adding a picture of you and your mom to the design. You will love the experience of not only making a shirt specifically for your mom, but also the feeling you get when you see your mom wearing the shirt you gave her for Mother’s Day.

4. Shadow Box

 

Anyone who is looking for an especially meaningful Mother’s Day gift should consider creating a shadow box. Many different types of shadow boxes are available just waiting for you to customize. Go through your options and pick the best one for your mom. Think about where she could put it and choose one that will fit the space. What’s her decorating style? What’s a color she really likes? Is there an area of her home that a shadow box would be perfect for?


Take the time to think about it before choosing. Once you’ve picked one, you can fill it with your mom's favorite photos, or of photos you took with your mother. Or, fill it with Cricut-made DIY paper flowers in her favorite colors! Once the inside is done, it’s time for the outside. Customize it with  a message, word, or phrase for the outside, and your beautiful work of art will be sure to bring a smile to your mom’s face this Mother’s Day.
