It's only a few more days until Mother's Day where ever you are in the world! I find it's hard to know what to give. Sure, I can buy something but I think making something creative DIY style every now and then, adds a sweet and thoughtful from-the-heart personal touch. What do you think mothers out there? What has been your favourite most treasured gift from your kids?
Here's a round up of my top picks for creative, budget friendly, quick and easy DIY gift ideas out there ... in no particular order :)

1. Creative Hand Print Frame
 This is CUTE and SWEET. Dads, this is sure to earn you top points :) I couldn't find the original post for this, but here it is on Pinterest anyway if you want to pin it. | Check out Amanda at Fun Hand Print Art for her tutorial. I'm loving how you can customise it with a quote to make it extra special.  |
2. Ten Things I Love About You Mini Book
Check out Ashley from The Creative Place for her tutorial. This mini book definitely has a lot of HEART in it. A TREASURED GIFT for sure.
3. Homemade Cupcake Bouquet

Check out Ruth on The Pink Whisk for her tutorial. I'm not so sure I'd be able to make those swirls as pretty and neat as Ruth, but I think it would still turn out quite nice.
To present your cupcakes in a pot, check out Stephanie on 52 Kitchen Adventures for her tutorial. It looks so good!

4. Crafty Magnetic Makeup Board
Check out Laura on Laura Thoughts for her tutorial. I think I NEED one of these! So clever. Not sure how Buddy and Razz would go with making this ... Mr Freckles??
5. Upcycled Book Planter with Succulents
Check out Russell on Apartment Therapy for his tutorial. This so CREATIVE! We don't need to throw out that old book after all. What a nice upcycling idea.
6. Homemade Ginger & Coconut Body Scrub
Check out Shaina on Food for my Family for her tutorial. I like how she uses all natural ingredients and explains why ginger and coconut are OH SO GOOD for our skin :)
If you want to push the envelope a bit more, try Colleen's Hot Apple Pie Body Scrub at Paisley Blvd. CAUTION: Use it on an empty stomach LOL.

7. DIY Tea Cup Pin Cushion
 Check out Yvette-Michelle's downloadable tutorial on Crafted Spaces. It looks so elegant and classy don't you think? | Here is Shelly's polka dot version from The Beauty is in the Detail. PRETTY :) Click here for more instructions.  |
8. Upcycled Tins as Magnet Fridge Planter
Check out Brittany on One Charming Party for her tutorial. She uses CUTE strawberry plants and creates a a magnetic board to attach them to, but I think these would go nicely on the fridge. You can also put herbs, succulents or any small plant in yours. When they need a bit of sun, you can just take them off the fridge. How nifty is that?
9. DIY Necklace Holder
Check out Erin on Visibly Moved for her tutorial. I love how she used interesting BEAUTIFUL knobs and just a piece of old wood!
10. DIY Tea Bags
Check out Gwyneth on Yours Truly, G for her tutorial. Perfect for mothers as a reminder to take TIME OUT to RELAX. You can even personalise it with larger or different shaped tags and add a different message on each. She's sure to FEEL loved :)
So there you have it, my top 10 picks for Creative and Easy DIY Gifts for Mother's Day.
