As Mother’s Day fast approaches, what could be cuter than a handmade Mother’s Day gift kids can make and get involved in. This trinket/keepsake box provided our minis with plenty of fun. Harry and Harriet loved using all the different materials (especially the glue and glitter) and inspired each other with their creations. These gifts are for their “Nanna’s” (so if the Nanna’s are reading, look away now!).
What you will need
A small cardboard box (these can be bought online or from craft shops – an example of one is here)
Tissue paper in assorted colours
Felt tip pens and/or paint
PVA glue
Plastic gems / glitter / pom poms / sequins and anything else you or you mini wants to adorn the box with!
Method
Let your mini have free reign!
The end result of Harry and Harriet’s creative work!
This idea is not just for Mother’s Day. It can be used as a handmade gift idea for most occasions and celebrations…and the more pom poms and glitter, the better!
