DIY Christmas Gifts for Mom
Lavender Bath Bombs(Ages 5-16)
Is Mom in need of some much needed R&R this holiday season? If she loves unwinding in a hot bath, why not make her some Lavender Bath Bombs as a lovely, relaxing gift? They’re super easy to make and contain just a handful of simple ingredients. The fizzy chemistry begins when the baking soda and citric acid in the bath bomb hit the bathwater and react causing carbon dioxide bubbles- pretty cool!
Homemade Hand Scrub(Ages 3-16)
Another self-care item on our list! This DIY homemade hand scrub feels great and can be customized with whatever scent Mom likes best. If you want to make it Christmas themed you might even try peppermint, vanilla, spearmint, or another festive-smelling essential oil.
Heart Mug(Ages 5-16)
She’ll love using this Heart Mug for her morning coffee or cozy cup of tea by the fire. To make this one extra special, consider filling it with her favorite chocolates, some yummy candy canes, or even adding a hot cocoa spoon!
Snow Globes(Ages 3-8)
A snowy little gift for Mom that she can beautifully display on her windowsill, nightstand, mantel, or wherever she likes. You can even try making a group of them in different sizes and give her a mini evergreen forest. For this winter craft, you’ll need a hot glue gun, a bottle-brush tree, a mason jar with a lid, artificial snow, and ribbon or twine.
Candle Art Transfer(Ages 5-16)
A warm glow from a candle is especially welcome during Christmas time, and this Candle Art Transfer DIY lets you decorate a candle with special art just for Mom. What will you add to make it unique?
Homemade Dough Gift Tags(Ages 3-16)
When it’s time to wrap up Mom’s present, add a bit of flair and personalization with a Homemade Dough Gift Tag. Making these tags are a fantastic way to explore making art with found objects and different shapes. They also double as lovely ornaments, so once her gift is unwrapped the tag can proudly hang on the tree.
