DIY Gift For Mom

I always love making Mother’s Day crafts, especially when I get to share them on my favorite morning show, Sarasota’s Suncoast View. I’ll be co-hosting again this morning (SO much fun!) and doing a segment on making crafts for mom.

This DIY gift for mom started off as just a citrus painted apron. Then when I was in the kitchen, the idea of adding a dish towel popped into my head. Finally, I needed one more thing and the mason jar utensil holder seemed like just what I needed to finish off this cute Mother’s Day gift. 

I wouldn’t recommend this for younger kids (fabric paint + toddlers = BIG mess!) but older kids will have fun with it. Even I had a blast making it!

Equipment

  • Foam paint brush or kitchen sponge cut into three pieces

Instructions

  • Lay apron on a flat surface and get your supplies handy.
  • Position the stencil where you want the lemons/limes/oranges. Dip your foam brush or sponge into fabric paint and dab onto the apron over the stencil. I would recommend using a foam brush but we just moved and I haven’t quite figured out which box they’re in!

  • Once you’ve stenciled on all the fruit you want, set aside to dry.
  • Repeat with dish towel.

I’ve linked to the crafts to make it easy but if you’d like to save a little money, you’ll find all these things cheaper at your neighborhood superstore.
