DIY Gift Ideas for Mom and Dad
3. Sleep Mask
My mother loves sleep masks but is always misplacing them. When I decided to make several for her, I got creative and found fun ideas like these. Personalize one for your mom with these clever slumber masks. Even dads love these – all parents need their sleep, you know?
5. Paint Dipped Kitchen Utensils
This DIY kitchen decor is so awesome, I am going to have to make some for myself. Choose your own cool color combos in these nifty serving utensils and make boring wooden spoons look like the masterpieces that they are. Dollar stores usually sell these, so you can make a whole set of these for less than $5. For a creative DIY gift idea for Mom at Christmas, Mothers Day or birthday, we love these easy to make color dipped serving spoons for the kitchen. My Dad cooks, too, so when I made this DIY Christmas gift for my parents, they both were excited to have them, and both Mom and Dad use them to cook with.
7. Photo Transfer to Wood
Photographs always make nice gifts to make for parents, and when you add a little creativity to the way they are displayed, even better. Take ordinary photos up a notch by transferring them to wood with the simple DIY technique. For DIY artwork, we love making photo transfers, and Mom and Dad will love opening the handmade gift from you.
8. Movie Munchers in 2 Favorite Flavors They Love
Give your parents a gift they both can enjoy on movie night, either alone or with friends. This inexpensive gift idea is a nice quick present to make for a little something extra to open on Christmas morning, but also could make a nice thank you for Mom after she spent days in the kitchen making Thanksgiving dinner or really for any other occasion when you want to give your parents a little gift.
9. DIY Welcome Mat
I always say if you are going to give something that your parents appreciate 1) it should be something you made for them 2) it should be something displayed front and center so they can think of you every day and be reminded, tell their friends you made said lovely item for them. This colorful and creative DIY doormat is all of those things, and you don’t have to be an artist to pull this craft off. Easy to make, just follow the step by step instructions. What you see is what you get. I made one of these DIY mats after my parents moved into a new house and I can’t tell you how much they love it, even years later. I am certain I will be asked to make another one when this one fades.
