How to Make A Mother's Day Gift She'll Remember Forever

The thought counts a lot with any Mother's Day gift. You can't guarantee she'll remember any of them forever, but you can make an inexpensive craft that does rely on memories.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Fancy paper
• Container with lid

1. Write out pleasant memories you had with your mother on high-grade paper in her favorite color(s). Have any siblings or grandchildren do the same.

2. Fold the "memories" in a neat way, but closed enough so your mother will have to open them as if they were fortune cookies.

3. Decorate the jar as you wish, but use a pattern or material you know your mother enjoys.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to give yourself enough time to come up with all those memories

• Use a variety of different colored paper

• Be sure to attach a sweet gift tag explaining what the jar is.

• A nice poem attached would be nice.

• Don't allow small children to use a hot glue gun

• Keep small beads away from tiny children and pets

• Have an adult do the cutting of the paper slips
