TIPS FOR MAKING AMAZING MOTHER’S DAY TEA SANDWICHES These sandwiches will keep for a couple of hours – but be sure to keep them covered so the bread doesn’t dry out.

To save time you can 100% use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts at home – it’s exactly what we did (in BBQ flavour)! What you’ll need: White and whole wheat bread Chicken breast Mayonnaise Spices Mustard Cucumber Cream cheese Dill Eggs Gather all the ingredients – cooked chicken breast, celery salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white bread. Mix together to create the salad. Spread the salad onto bread slices. For this sandwich, keep the filling in the centre of the bread. Use a cookie cutter to cut the sandwich into a pretty shape. Tip: Keep the shape of the cookie cutter simple – the sandwich won’t cut well with small, complicated cutters. Gather the ingredients for the cucumber sandwiches – cucumber, cream cheese, dill, salt and pepper and whole wheat or white bread. Spread cream cheese onto the slices, top with a sprinkle of herbs and spices and then thinly some sliced cucumber. Cut into squares and arrange on a cake stand or platter. Gather the ingredients to make egg salad – hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and whole wheat bread. Mix all of the ingredients together and then spread onto the bread slices. Cut into tringles and arrange on a platter and then sprinkle with some extra paprika for colour. WHAT MAKES TEA SANDWICHES DIFFERENT? Tea sandwiches can have many, many different fillings – we only made three here. What’s important when choosing your filling though is to keep it fine. Fillings should be chopped into small pieces so that biting into one doesn’t result in pieces of tomato or chicken sliding out onto laps. It’s all about daintiness with tea sandwiches. Serve your sandwiches with scones with clotted cream and jam, macarons, fruit bars – we happen to have a fabulous lemon blueberry bar – or small cakes to round out your menu. Have a happy Mother’s Day!

This year skip the bouquet and give flowers that will last. With bright, poppy colours this pillow inspires feelings of happiness and joy. Pro tip: you could also use a ready made pillow cover instead of making one if you have one on hand.

What You’ll Need: Fabric for the pillow casing Felt in four colours Green yarn Decorative felt balls (or pom poms) Large eyed needle (like a darning or embroidery needle) Scissors Optional: Fabric Glue Sewing Machine Needle and thread Measure your fabric for the pillow casing. Be sure to leave room – at least 1/2″ all the way around – for a seam allowance. Stitch three sides closed with the forth left open enough that you can slip your pillow inside. Cut flowers out of the coloured felts. We made three different sizes in various shapes. You’ll need about twenty flowers to make your pillow. Arrange your cut flowers on the pillow case. When you like how it looks, start attaching the flowers with the method you have chosen, either put a couple of stitches in the centre of each flower, or a dab of fabric glue.  If you are sewing, make sure to secure your flowers with pins so you don’t lose your design. Work your away along the pillow until all the flowers are attached. Next, take the green yarn and thread a length onto the large eyed needle. Tie a knot in the end of the thread and start stitching the flowers stems starting from the inside of the casing. Tie another knot in the in the thread inside the casing to secure the flower stem. Sew stems for all the flowers. Insert your filling into the casing and stitch up the remaining opening. Happy Crafting! Made this for Mum last year? Certainly try a personalized Mason Jar filled with her favourite things or some pressed flowers picked by little hands.

Today, let’s put a little twist on those pre-made floral arrangements and make some pressed flowers. Littles can help to make with this one, but only with the flower collecting, as the rest of the project involves handling glass. I recruited two of my little nieces out to the yard and we helped ourselves to some of Nanny’s blooms (although they were more interested in the dandelions!). Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. There may a small commission made by our recommendations, and/or link to products or services mentioned on this website. Your purchase will help us continue to bring you amazing content, step-by-steps and product reviews. Eventually I steered them to the garden and we collected enough flowers to put in our frames. One would be for their Mum (Christine) and one for Nanny. They picked out the ribbon and then I released them back to their mother. This way I could finish the frames without the fear of little fingers getting cut. Here’s how I did it: What You’ll Need: Little helpers Picked flowers Two pieces of glass (unused photo frames are a great option) Clear tape Ribbon Hot glue gun and sticks It’s just that easy – 10 minute pressed flowers (minus flower picking) gift any Mom – or Grandma. The girls were very happy to see their carefully picked flowers gifted to their mom and Nanny, and even happier when it was displayed on the wall! For another alternative to fresh flowers try our Springtime Flower Pop Pillow, a colourful DIY pillow for mom. Loving some potted flowers for Mother’s Day?

But like most mom’s, from macaroni bracelets to Plaster of Paris charms– she kept them all. And now with Christine’s little crew creating new treasures for Nanny, a new stash box is right on the money for our amazing mother.  Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. There may be a small commission made by our recommendations, and/or link to products or services mentioned on this website. Your purchase will help us continue to bring you amazing content, step-by-steps and product reviews. How to Make a Jewelry Box for Mother’s Day What you’ll need: Raw wood box Tissue paper Mod Podge glue Foam brush Acrylic paint Paint brush Hair rollers Paint the entire box white as a base layer. Cover the lower half of the box with a layer of Mod Podge, and then work on one side at a time as the glue tends to dry fairly quickly. When one side is covered , lay a strip of tissue paper and smooth down and then cover the tissue with another layer of Mod Podge to seal. Fold the edges of the tissue paper under the box and glue down to get clean edges. Use a very sharp knife to cut the tissue paper away from the clasp otherwise the paper could tear. Repeat the same steps on the top of the box, until it is covering the lid completely.  Pull the metal wire from inside the hair curlers and cut to fit tightly inside the box. Push the hair curlers into the jewelry box, pushing them against each other to create a tight fit. We added an open section for larger pieces by gluing a piece on wood to the sides and bottom of the box.

Each jar can be tweaked by you to make it extra special, after all you know your mom best, but here five ideas for inspiration. This blog post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean? We may get a small commission if you make a purchase using our links, which helps us to keep posting new holiday content every week. What you’ll need: A Mason Jar Ribbon Scrapbook paper Glue Lots of tiny gifts for Mom To get the jar ready, use the inner lid of the jar to trace a circle onto the scrapbook paper and cut it out, and then use some Mod Podge or glue to attach the paper circle to the lid and let dry. While the lid dries use your glue gun to attach the ribbon to the edge of the outer lid. Now that the jar is ready, let’s dive into contents.  We have four different jars that are themed to a specific hobby or interest: Baking, Spa, Crochet and Wine. If you have a mom who’s not in love with any of those, we have an Eclectic jar too.  This one has a bunch of fun, pretty and useful items that anyone would love!  Let’s check them out in detail… For those Moms who love baking, you can fill their jar with all things yummy.  Some other things your can sneak into this jar are chocolate chips, rolled oats or a favourite recipe card. Maybe your mom needs some pampering?  We think every mom does! Then this jar with everything she needs to relax in one spot is the perfect pick. You could also add candles, a sleep mask or her favourite facial scrub, mask or mosturizer. If your Mom loves to knit or crochet (like ours) this is the jar for her.  Other options are tapestry needles, stitch markers or a small paint brush roll to store all her hooks in. More gifts idea coming at you….. If your Moms hobby is drinking vino (tbh this is our speed, lol) then help her indulge with this jar made just for her.  You can also add some crackers, dried fruit or a small aerator.  Honestly, who can say no to cheese and wine?? Maybe your Mom doesn’t have a hobby or specific interest.  No problem – how about a collection of everyday, pretty and useful items?  You can put almost anything your Mom loves into this jar, as long as it fits through the top.  Think favourite stores, coffee, tea, candy and so much more!
