These easy Mother's Day crafts will make for the best Mother's Day gifts—because they're simple for even little kiddos or craft novices to put together. Mom will happily display these crafty creations around the house. From homemade picture frames to our instructions on how to make paper flowers, these beautiful ideas will look stunning in any room.

Pom-pom Bouquet

Kids can make Mom an evergreen yarn bouquet to symbolize their everlasting love. Start by placing a green pipe cleaner parallel with the tines of a fork so that it extends 3 inches above the tines. Wrap yarn perpendicularly around all the tines. Fold the 3-inch section of pipe cleaner down over the yarn, slide everything off the fork, and wrap the two pieces of pipe cleaner together. Carefully cut the wrapped yarn and trim any scraggly ends. Repeat as desired. Wrap stems together with a length of ribbon.

Photo Coasters

Mom will enjoy her morning cup of tea even more when she looks down and sees her child's smiling face. Start by printing a photo (either in black & white or color) on card stock paper that is 1/4-inch smaller than a glazed white tile. Brush the back of the photo with glossy Mod Podge and place on the tile, making sure it's centered. Brush the top of the photo with Mod Podge to seal. Allow to dry completely.

Flower Petal Change Bowl

We know moms love all things organization, so what's better than a handmade bowl that she can use to corral loose change. To create your sculpture, use Sculpey (or another oven baked clay) to form a large flower petal. Form a smaller petal and press it into the center of the larger petal. Place plastic beads in bottom of the bowl. Bake, per package instructions, to melt plastic and harden clay.
