What is a mocktail?

• A mocktail is simply a cocktail without the liquor! They can be made with a variety of delicious flavours and make a wonderful treat for any social gathering or a night in. Just about any cocktail can be made into a mocktail by omitting the alcohol from the recipe. Our Marshmallow Fluff Mocktail, Blueberry Slush Mocktail, and vibrant Lucky Lychee Mocktail are great examples.

While this recipe is a mocktail, you can make it into a cocktail by adding tequila. Adding alcohol could alter the taste of this mocktail, so add it sparingly if you choose to!

If you’ve never tried macrame this is a beginners tutorial, so you’re in the right place. This macrame plant hanger uses only simple knots so you don’t have to be an expert to complete it. This hanger works best with small pots, so when you’re shopping for mom, keep that in mind. Succulents are perfect, what’s more they make great gifts since they are easy to take care of and look so nice.

Easy DIY Indoor Macrame Plant Hanger Tutorial

What you’ll need:

• Flower pots
• Rope (one that can be unravelled to create three separate parts)
• Scissors

Firstly, cut two lengths of rope, they need to be the same length. The length will depend on how long you want your hanger to be and also how wide your pots are.

Secondly, tie a knot at one end of the ropes, holding the two pieces together.

Next, unravel the rope to create six smaller pieces.

Now tie three knots, equal distance from the top. Tie the small pieces of rope together to create the three new knots.

Repeat. Create another set of three knots, equal distance from the other three

Now tie one large knot, including all of the threads. This will be the base where your vase will sit.

You can stop here and cut the remaining rope, or if you want to have a double plant hanger, repeat the steps (1-7) to create another set of six knots.

Finally, a single or double macrame plant hanger for mom needs the ends cut to create the tassels.

Macrame Plant Holder for Mother’s Day

When you gift this to your mom, be sure to include a hook (unless she has one!) that can securely fastened in the ceiling…for obvious reasons.  Your mom is sure to love this Easy DIY Indoor Macramé Plant Hanger Tutorial gift, since it’s handmade and full of thought!

What do you need to make an easy Mother’s Day Kid’s Craft?

• Canvas
• Painter’s tape
• Paint
• Craft knife
• Paint brush
• Letter stencil
• Stencil glue
• Black paint pen

How to make a Heart Craft for Mom:

Draw a heart onto the canvas and cover it with painter’s tape. Press down on the edges of the tape to seal the gaps. This will help prevent the paint from leaking under the tape.

Add dots of paint to the heart in alternating colours. Choose Mom’s favourite colours or opt for bright and fun!

Now for the fun part! Give your little one a paintbrush, or sponge, or use none and have some fun finger painting! Before the paint dries, consider adding glitter or paint “splashes” from a brush.

Set the art aside and allow it to dry. This could take some time and may be the hardest part of this kid’s craft! Once the paint has dried completely, remove the painter’s tape. Be sure to pull slowly to avoid peeling.

Little ones may need help with this step, while older kids may like to do this part themselves! Use some sticky tack to secure a letter stencil ‘O’ to the middle of the heart. Fill in the stencil with a black paint marker. Peel off the stencil and let dry. Repeat the steps with an ‘M’ on either side of the ‘O’, allowing each letter to dry completely before moving on to the next.

Finally, wrap this beautiful gift up and give it to Mom on Mother’s Day!

Finding the materials for this Mother’s Day gift is easy and the project doesn’t take long to complete.  It can be tricky to wrap the wire around the the beads, but the finished pea pod pendant is well worth the effort.  We used a shiny black floral wire for our pod but you can easily use silver, gold or even green. Floral wire comes in plenty of colours and sizes.

How to make a Pea Pod Pendant, a Mother’s Day Gift Idea

What Do You Need to Make a Pea Pod Pedant?

• Floral wire
• Beads (any colour and number)
• Jump ring
• Long nose plier
• Side cutting plier

How to Make a Pea Pod Pedant

Firstly, using the long nose pliers, cut a straight piece of wire and create a loop at one end, thread your beads onto this straight piece and make a second loop on the opposite end to secure the beads in place.  

Secondly, wrap some wire around the beads to create the pod.  Start at one end make your way down to the bottom, making sure the beads are secure. To give the pod some character wrap the wire loosely and tightly against the beads, this will help give a “woven” appearance.

You can add small sparkle or letter beads to the top of the pendant (initials are perfect for personalization!)  To do this, use another small piece of wire and secure it to the top of the pod pendant, thread on the beads and fold the exposed tip to hold the beads in place.  

Finally, attach a jump ring to one end.  There you have it, a perfect pea pod pendant for Mother’ Day.  So easy to make and beautiful to give.

Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas

New clothes – New spring clothes are a great non-candy idea for Easter. Think shorts, t-shirts, hats and sandals! Stores are filled with new and cute options for spring and summer fun.

Stuffed animals or plushies – A cute, soft bunny or fuzzy chick will delight your little one on Easter. Or choose a favourite to add to a collection — Beanie Boos or Squishmallows are popular choices right now. The reversible happy/angry plush by TeeTurtle is also fun!

Surprise Toys – Blind bags are a craze right now. Brands such as LOL and Mini Brands are sure to be a hit. It helps that many of these are sold in a compact ball that can fit into your little ones basket!

Gift cards – Surprise your older kids with a gift card to their favourite store this Easter and let them choose their own gift. Gift cards for the local ice cream shop or dinner out for the whole family is a great option too.

Sidewalk chalk – A spring and summer favourite. Some new sidewalk chalk is a perfect non-candy gift. It’s non-expensive and tons of fun. Win-Win. Consider picking up some sidewalk paint for something a little different!  

Gardening supplies and seeds – Do your little ones love digging in the garden? Some gardening gloves, a shovel and a hoe for some gardening fun. Throw in some seeds and pots so they can watch their plants grow!

Fun Non-Candy Easter Ideas!

Books – You can never have enough stories to share. Gift your little one a new edition of their favourite novel or a fun Easter bunny story to read together. Bathtime books are a great gift for younger children.

Figurines – Schleich, Playmobil and Lego have lots of small options for your little one’s Easter basket. Don’t forget to check your local dollar store for their favourites first, sometimes you’ll find these brands in the toy isle.

Glow sticks – Light up the room with some glow sticks and laser rings. These fun toys can be found at the dollar store and are a great non-candy Easter basket idea.

Hair accessories –  Scrunchies, clips and headbands can fill your little one’s Easter basket. Make-up and make-up bags are a good idea for older children. Purses, hats and sandals are also great options for Easter baskets.

Bath toys – Make bath time more fun! A new rubber ducky, small watering can or floating book is always a fun non-candy gift idea for kids.

Games – A board game for the whole family or a new card game to learn. Or consider a fun game for spring and summer like a bean bag toss or frisbee.

Jewelry – A necklace with a favourite character, Easter earrings or a headband. There are endless options when it comes to jewelry, from inexpensive to more precious.

Bubbles. Bubbles, bubble blowers or bubble wands. There are so many fun and inexpensive bubble ideas that kid love. Fill a bubble themed bucket for them

Pool and beach supplies. Summer will soon be here. Pool and beach toys and gear are great Easter gift ideas. Think goggles, floaties, towels, a new suit or some fun sunglasses! 

Bubbles, Chalk, Glow Sticks – So many options to choose from!

 Sports gear. Do you have a little one that loves sports or is part of a team? New sports gear can be a fun non-candy surprise on Easter morning.

Cooking supplies. Cooking supplies, an apron or a cookbook for those little ones that love to be in the kitchen.

Water bottle – A new water bottle for the summer holidays is a great and practical option for a non-candy option.

Experiences. A fun family day out or a trip to the aquarium, or museum can be a fun gift, instead of something that goes into a basket.

Craft or new art supplies. Being bloggers who love kids’ crafts, we love this idea. Gift your little one a new craft or supplies for their favourite crafting activity. Paint brushes, paints, crayons, paper, scissors or a colouring book. You can’t go wrong with a basket full of creative fun!

How to make an Easy Easter Display:

To make an easy and beautiful Easter display for your home, simply arrange your favourite Easter decorations on a table or mantle in an impactful way. Add a pop of colour using Easter eggs or coloured bunnies. Use pretty painted flowers and pastel mason jars or milk bottles. And don’t forget to add these cute critter jars!

What do you need to make an Easy Easter Decoration?

• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Two small glass jars
• Scissors
• Painters tape
• Small piece of orange felt
• Little black gems
• Tiny pink pom pom
• Fine tip paintbrush
• Acrylic paints in Yellow, White and Black

How to make an Adorable Easter Decoration: Critter Cups

For this design, I wanted to avoid painting the lip of the jar. To do the same, take the painter’s tape and cover the top of the jar where you don’t want any paint to be. Additionally, you may have to cut slits in the tape to get it to fold over the top and seal tightly.

Pour a big dollop of the yellow paint in one jar. Turn the jar around in your hands to spread the paint around. Tapping the jar against your palm helps to get the paint to move. Be patient, it may seem like the paint isn’t moving but it will. Keep turning and tapping the jar until all of the glass is covered in paint. When you’re happy with the coverage, turn the jar over onto a piece of paper towel and leave it to dry. Drying may take some time depending on how thick the paint is. Repeat the previous step with the second jar and the white paint.

The Absolute Cutest Little Easter Critter Cups Ever

Cut a small triangle out of the orange felt, which will be the ducks beak. Use hot glue to attach your beak to the centre of the yellow jar and then use the black gems as eyes and attach them with the hot glue on either side of the beak to complete the ducks face.

On the white jar, use the black paint to make whiskers in the centre of the jar by painting an X and then add lines out the side to make three whiskers on each side. Add a pink pom pom nose with the hot glue and black gems for the bunny’s eyes.

Happy Crafting! We hope you love these cute critter cups as much as we do! If you’re looking for more Easter Ideas, certainly check out our other ideas:
