Silhouette and Cricut Mother’s Day ideas can help you impress mom with handmade gifts and also save money. Are you a seller? Then check out this list of Mother’s Day gifts you can sell this spring season for Mother’s Day.
While store-bought gifts can be thoughtful, making your own personalized gift is a great way to show the woman in your life how much she means to you. The best part is that by making the gift yourself, you are showing extra care to your mom (or Grandma).
Each year when my children and I make gifts for my Mom, I am so happy to be able to personalize the gifts with the names my children call them. While my Mother-in-Law goes by Grandma (which is easy to find), it’s not easy to find other Grandma nicknames in stores.
My mom goes by Grammy and it’s rare if we can find the perfect gift with her name on it. Being able to add my children’s nicknames for my mom on her gift gives it a personal touch.
There are so many amazing DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas included in this roundup. There are Mother’s Day cards, tea towels, tote bags, custom t-shirts, paper flowers, and so many other Mother’s Day crafts included.
Some are larger projects while others are small pieces. No matter the size of the project, they will all show the special women in your life how much you care for them this Mom’s day.
What type of craft machine do I need for these projects?
All of the projects can be done with either a Silhouette machine or a Cricut machine, or another craft cutting machine. Some of the projects may be too large to use a Cricut joy or Silhouette portrait. Some of the projects may require a Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo with specific craft blades (such as deep cut blades) to cut materials like balsa wood or an engraving blade to engrave.
What type of materials do I need for these homemade gift ideas?
It will depend on the project. Some need permanent vinyl, some paper, glitter iron vinyl, some removable vinyl, stencil vinyl, paint, different markers or pens, and other materials. Some of the projects have inexpensive materials you can even get at the Dollar Tree or other brand of Dollar Store.
Are there free SVG files included?
For some of the designs, you may need SVG and/or Silhouette studio files. You may need to sign up with your e-mail for a websites e-mail list to get the files but all of the crafts I have included come with free files only. Or, you don’t need a file (some require you to use your own handwritten notes or drawings to create them).
