Moms love handmade gifts that show how much you care! These Mother’s Day gifts are not only functional and make mom’s life easier, they are also easy to make and show how much you love her!
Flower Book Band
This pretty flower book band is perfect for book lovers! Not only is it a great way to keep your place in a book, it is also helpful in keeping cookbooks open while making a meal or snack.
This is just one of our many DIY bookmarks to sew.
Neck and Shoulder Heating Pad
Our DIY heated neck warmer made with rice is not only easy to sew, it is inexpensive to make, as well.
This homemade heat wrap is made with our free neck wrap sewing pattern. It is large enough to wrap around mom’s neck and over the shoulders to reduce tension and soothe sore muscles.

Reusable makeup remover pads are a great way to save money and to reduce waste in your beauty routine. These zero-waste makeup remover pads can be put in the washing machine and can last for years!
Lavender Eye Pillow
Aromatherapy eye pillows are a great gift to make that everyone loves! These DIY lavender eye pillows can be used cold (perfect for depuffing eyes or sinus pain) or warm (great for headaches).
Seed Packet Gift Holders
Gardeners love receiving seeds as a gift, but it can seem boring to give a small envelope of seeds. Our fun seed packet gift holders are a great way to make a gift of seeds seem really special.
Use felt and our free patterns to easily make these seed packet holders in 10 minutes or less.
Double Sided Blanket
I used two curtain panels and a pre-made blanket to create a custom throw. It’s easier to make than you think!
This plush blanket is a perfect gift! Wrapped with a satin ribbon, this blanket looks so expensive! Only you will know that it started with curtains!
Felt Heart with Embroidered Flowers
Our easy felt heart with flowers craft is perfect to show mom you love her! Use our free pattern to make these handmade hearts.
These felt heart softies would look wonderful arranged in a small bowl or on a tiered tray. Add a ribbon loop to hang or attach a magnet in the back and display on the refrigerator.
Reusable Tea Bags
Perfect for the mom or grandmother who loves tea! Sew this muslin tea bag and give with a jar of loose leaf tea for a cozy gift.
Nail File Case
This nail file carrying case is great for women (think your mom, grandma, aunt, friend) who like to have a nail file with them in their purse. Nail files can really scratch up anything other than your nails, so putting them in a carrying case will protect everything else in a purse or makeup bag.
Gift Card Holder
There’s nothing wrong with giving a gift card to let mom buy what she wants! Add a personal touch when you sew a custom gift card holder.

What mom wouldn’t love to get more organized? These easy to sew felt valet trays are the perfect solution for organizing keys, mail, office supplies, cosmetics or jewelry.
