21 Budget-Friendly Mother’s Day DIYs to Try Before Sunday

If you’ve been eyeballing the calendar lately, you know that Mother’s Day is coming up real soon (this Sunday). So, I thought I’d roundup some of my favorite DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas, while you still actually have time to make them.

All of the projects are easy AND budget-friendly (nothing that costs over $20 to make). So let’s get to it…

1. (above) Bake Mom a cake and add a DIY message cake topper.

2. One of my favorites for any occasion…. a giant DIY flower blocked bouquet. Use Wildflowers to keep this giant bouquet under budget.

3. Try this simple hack for toasted marshmallow macaron sandwiches.

4. Dip dye some woven decorative baskets in a color that your mom loves.

5. Whip up a DIY concrete vase for the flowers you plan to buy for the occasion.

6. These scented soy DIY candles would be the perfect gift.

7. Add a surprising piece of art to a card to Mom with these DIY watercolor envelope liners.

8. Gift some succulents with these faux metal planters for less than $5 a piece.

9. Delve into these DIY candied blood oranges (you can use any seasonal citrus).

10. Whip up a ‘make you day’ bouquet in a pinch.

11. Try these easy DIY votives on a budget.

12. Spray a set of custom ombre stationery.

13. Paint some watercolor meringues for a Mother’s Day brunch.

14. Try a DIY bouquet bombing. Hit the doorbell and run.

15. Create a Mother’s Day snail mail message with this painted envelope idea.

16. Toss together a quick treat for any occasion with these meringue candy cups.

17. Does your mom like to entertain? Make a set of unique inkblot napkins for her. Or for the cook…switch the technique to tea towels.

18. Make these mini DIY jewelry dishes and you’ll have enough money left over to buy a little jewelry to go inside.

19. Bring a homemade fresh floral wreath to Mom that she can hang on her front door (on even indoors).

20. Make a batch of color blocked chocolate with edible flower sprinkles. This one is so easy! And delicious.

21. Create a DIY fresh flower bracelet and then take Mom out for a little lunch.
