With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I set out to find some easy and thoughtful DIY projects. I came across an easy apron tutorial on StoneGable.
My Blonde Ambitions shows us how to make a pretty Sunglasses Case.
Pinned Sisters made this gift set for an end-of-the-year teacher gift. But I think it would be perfect for mom.
The kids will love helping create the Stepping Stones found at C.R.A.F.T.
Make a set of Custom Coasters with a little scrapbook paper, Mod Podge and help from Setting for Four.
This Fingerprint Necklace found at A Girl & A Glue Gun is surprisingly easy to make. Affordable too!

This year I found some really creative Easter egg decorating ideas online. Beginning with Blog Me Mom who made Scratch & Glitter Eggs.
Make Watercolor Easter Eggs with Nest of Posies.
She Knows made Gold Marbled Easter Eggs and shows us how.
A Pumpkin & A Princess makes Glitter Polka Dot Eggs.
I love this one by A Subtle Revelry. Photo Print Easter Eggs – how unique!
Or keep it simple with this idea I found on Pinterest. Googly Eyes and a Sharpie Marker! I think this would be a fun way to dress up eggs that were dyed with a simple grocery store kit.
