DIY crafty gifts are a __Mother's Day staple–__preschoolers have been whipping up macaroni necklaces in honor of the holiday, probably since the noodle was first invented. But despite how precious your little baby looks when he presents it to you, that sweet token of his love and appreciation isn't likely to see the year out. I mean you can only hold onto so many never-to-be-worn-out-of-the-house necklaces and rings before it's time to purge your popsicle stick jewelry box. While obviously it's the sentiment that counts, this year, you can help your kids create some gorgeous and meaningful gifts for all of the moms in your life. Just be warned, you may have a hard time parting with some of these gems!

No-Sew Sleep Mask
I know it seems totally cliche, but I love a good sleep mask. With just a few basic crafting skills you and your kiddos can whip up a few for every mom on your list. I love that you can be really creative with the design of each one.
Clay Jewelry Dish
These adorable clay jewelry plates look so professional! I was shocked at how easy they are to create. You'll need a few specialty items from the craft store, but you'll get a long-lasting, pretty and functional gift for your effort. Perfect for storing all those handmade necklaces from your toddler!
Pressed Flower Phone Case
Can you even believe how gorgeous this phone case is? I never would have imagined it was something I could make myself, but it actually seems like a totally reasonable undertaking. And I think you'd have a hard time finding another gift this beautiful for so little money.
Handprint Mug
Okay, so handprint crafts are par for the course on Mother's Day, but I've never seen any that I like as much as these mugs. I would absolutely love to drink my café con leche out of one of these each morning.
Ombre Candles
You can literally get everything you need for this project at a big-box store or even a dollar store. I absolutely love that the ombre effect is created with melted crayons–sort of brings a fun, kid-tastic element to it, without looking like an elementary school art project.
