Remember how your mom would proudly pin up your messy crayon drawings of stick figures, V-shaped birds, and rising sun from mountains on the fridge? That’s the emotion to aim for. It is obvious that no matter what your age, to your mother, you will always be a child who deserves all the love in the world. So channel some nostalgia and enthusiasm, dig into your art supplies, and make a gift for her that will make her smile widely, maybe even tear up a little.

Now, depending on your style, you can gift her a wide array of homemade presents. And by DIY, it doesn’t always have to mean starting from scratch, especially if you’re not an avid artsy person.
