Homemade Mother's Day Crafts That Make Cute Gifts for Mom (2024)

Tell Mom where your heart is—with her at home! On your computer, type the word "home" in all caps in a three-inch-tall block font. Print it out, then staple the page on top of a light-colored state map (this will be your guide). Next, use scissors to cut out the letters from both pages and discard the printed ones. Attach the map letters to a darker-colored map using adhesive foam dots. And lastly, place the finished product in a light frame!
