As Mother's Day draws near, the search for the perfect card to let mom know how much she is appreciated and loved begins. Although there are many store-bought cards available, there is such love and thoughtfulness in handmade cards.
Making a DIY Mother’s Day card provides a very personal touch and shows all of the love and warm feelings that a store-bought card can’t express.
This page is full of Mother’s Day card ideas for both kids and adults to make.
Whether crafted by toddlers, older kids or adults, handmade cards are a Mother’s Day craft for all ages that will always have a special place in a mom’s heart.
Kid Created Cards
- Children bring such innocence and creativity to their special DIY cards. These easy Mother’s Day cards are fun crafts that often have bright colors, mismatched shapes, and maybe even misspelled words.
- Many favorite keepsake cards are those handmade cards with handprints used to make flowers or other designs. One design below shows how to make a handprint card into a cactus plant. So creative!
- The cards on this page for kids to make for their moms and grandmothers, or other special ladies in their lives, are simple yet beautiful cards.
For the younger kids, there are links to free printable templates that they can color and make into their very own special cards.
- Encourage the kiddos to make their own handmade Mother’s Day cards to show their love. They have the chance to put their creativity to use to turn a fun craft into the perfect card.
Adult Created Cards
- For grown-up children, making a Mother's Day greeting card becomes an opportunity to reminisce and celebrate the life shared with their mothers. From calligraphy to paper quilling, cards made by adult children show skill and thoughtfulness.
- Photograph collages of pictures showing special moments or handwritten letters can remind mom of fond memories and add a personal touch on this special day.
- Environmentally friendly handmade Mother’s Day cards help to keep the Earth safe while sharing love with mom. Think “pressed flowers”, “repurposed fabric scraps” and even “recycled paper”.
- These items can make a beautiful card with natural elements and repurposing and recycling old items using natural elements.
- Pressed flowers embellishing a lovely Mother’s Day card shows creativity and care for the planet.
The wonderful part of handmade cards is that the Mother’s Day card can be tailored to mom’s personality.
Special messages, favorite quotes, inside jokes, and sharing of memories gives the card a very personal touch that will mean a lot to mom. This makes a simple card become a keepsake.
Kids of all ages can find the perfect Mother’s Day card below. Toddlers, children, tweens, teens and adults will enjoy the ideas found here. So take a look, find the card, and add a personal touch.
