The perfect Mother’s Day bonding crafts to do together
Mother’s Day is coming soon. It falls on the 30th March if you’re in the UK, and the 11th May if you’re in the US. You’ve probably thought about flowers and a card, but the real gift is spending time together.
Crafting is a wonderful way to bond. Learning something new can give you plenty to talk about – not to mention a few giggles along the way.
To make it extra special for Mum, we recommend setting up a little crafting table wherever you have space. This could be a dining table or a coffee table. Pop a pretty cover over it, add a couple of candles, and get your bubbly and snacks ready.
Here are a few of our favourite beginner-friendly crafts to make your Mother’s Day memorable.

If you’ve never thought about paper making, you’re missing out! It’s a wonderfully therapeutic craft that’s perfect for complete beginners.
The process involves mixing scrap paper with water to create a pulp, which you can customise by adding things like seeds. You then press it into frames to create your own unique paper.
The finished paper has a rustic look, making it ideal for journaling, card making, and more.
