DIY Mother's Day Gifts

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I know you'll appreciate some gift ideas that you can try at home. I found this great idea for a Mother's Day Tissue Flower Card on marthastewart.com.
All it requires is:
  • some tissue paper in different colours for the flowers, 
  • card stock for the card, 
  • a pair of scissors to cut circles of different sizes out of the tissue paper, 
  • a pair of tweezers to scrunch the tissue into flower shapes,
  • some glue to stick them to the card and,
  • some paint for the flower stems (marker's or crayons can work too.
Here's my version:

Tissue Flower Mother's Day Card - Start
Tissue Flower Mother's Day Card - Work in Progress
Tissue Flower Mother's Day Card
Tissue Flower Mother's Day Card - Finished Product
