Mom to Mom – Makeup Bags

Today at Mom to Mom, we have a cute Mother’s Day Craft.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s always fun to get those homemade gifts. So you can do this for mom, you can do this for grandmother or whoever. That special person in your life who has kids, do it for them. They’re going to love it. Today where you are making a makeup bag that’s super cute, you can use your kiddo’s hand print. So what you’re going to need to make this are some paints, whether it’s acrylic paint or puff paint, I like to use them both, and then get some makeup bags. These are fairly inexpensive. You can find ’em at craft stores or on Amazon. I like the different colors of this one. It’s a cute little travel bag. So what you do is you grab your kiddo and put some paint on their little hands and then put it on the makeup bag. You can decorate it however you like. I did this kind of like mom, where the hand spells out the O part of mom, and then you decorate it however you like. So I write mom, and then I like to do a little heart in the middle of the hand because it’s super cute. You can do flowers, whatever you want to put on it. This is very memorable for the moms because they can remember how little their little kids’ hands were, and you can even write the date and how old they were whenever you created this. And it’s just a fun, unique gift to give those moms or grandparents in your life.

If you have any wonderful ideas, maybe for next Mother’s Day, I would love to hear ’em. And you might see that on the next Mom to Mom.
