Mother’s Day is around the corner. Being in lockdown gives us the chance to be more creative. Here are 5 DIY projects you can do to make this Mother’s day a little more special.
- ‘50 Reasons Why I Love You’ Jar

Take any mason jar or little box and decorate it. Write 50 reasons why you love them on little individual pieces of paper and roll them up. Tie each piece of paper with some string and you are good to go.
This is a great sentimental gift that any Mother will cherish.
- DIY Cupcake Bouquet

This is great for any mum with a sweet tooth.
You will need:
1. Cupcakes
2. Frosting
3. Piping Bags
4. Wilton 1m Tip Or Star tip piping tool
5. Clear tape
6. Styrofoam ball
7.Colored tissue paper of your choice
8. Toothpicks
9. A Flowerpot
Bake the cupcakes and let them cool while you make the frosting.
Use a Wilton piping tip and pipe the flower pattern onto the cupcakes with the frosting.
Place the cupcakes in the fridge to stay firm while you get the Styrofoam ball ready.
Place the Styrofoam ball in the flowerpot. Use the toothpicks and stick 2 toothpicks in each place where you want a cupcake to go.
Gently place each cupcake onto the toothpicks and try to cover as much Styrofoam as you can. Adjust the toothpicks as you go along to suit your preference.
Then take your colored tissue paper and cut them into strips and fold them into little fans and stick them in between the gaps with the clear tape.
And you’re done! Almost too pretty to eat.
