Stitch one long straight line and that's all the sewing required with these easy aprons. I love that you can customise these and add your own embellishments or trim for a little more personality.

These are super fun shoes that are not just simple to create but also so unique. A DIY for the super rad mums. Rachel made these after seeing a similar Kate Spade pair with a price tag that was a little too high. These look amazing!

These are gorgeous and I love anything to do with raw stones. There's seriously not much to these but they'll be an absolute hit. Only three supplies needed to pull these off.
No-Sew Pom Pom Pool + Picnic Blankets
Have yourself a beach babe or poolside mum? I'd have to say the best thing about these adorable blankets is that there's no sewing required. I also love me a good pom-pom. These blankets are so colourful and fun, they're bound to bring a smile to mum's face.

A great Mother's Day gift is also a useful one. These trivets made from natural wood are a beautiful contemporary touch to an otherwise boring (but so practical) household item.
Aromatherapy Candle Diffusers with Himalayan Pink Salt
Oh my goodness I was a little bit beside myself when I found this therapeutic DIY. I love anything to do with essential oils and always get excited with new ways of using them. Mix your preferred oil blend with the salt and the warmth from the candle will activate the salt to release your scent.

This hoop wreath is such a quick and easy DIY Mothers Day gift. In just a few supplies you will have a sweet minimal wreath for your wall. Or your mum's wall.

Washi tape is so versatile, the possibilities are endless once you start seeing how you can use them. Kelly created these candle holders to coordinate with a table setting. She even made a plain table runner into some colourful fun with washi tapes.
DIY Tassel Earrings
How sweet are these tassel earrings? Perfect for the boho or glam mum. Design them with your own colour palette in mind. I would love to make some ombre ones with varying shades of the same colour. Now to pick a colour…
