Homemade Mother’s Day gifts are my favorite to give and receive!

This year we made these cool tissue paper vases to give to the kids’ grandmothers.

DIY Tissue Paper Vase Craft! Fun homemade gift for Mother's Day or Teacher Appreciation Week!

They are easy enough for younger kids to make, but fancy enough that big kids will enjoy making them too–which makes them perfect for siblings to make together.

How to Make a Homemade Gift

DIY Vase Craft Supplies

  • tissue paper
  • glue
  • water
  • empty jar (we used pickle jars)
  • paintbrush

Tissue Paper Vase Craft for Mother's Day

Pour glue into a bowl and add a little bit of water to water it down and have the kids tear up some of the tissue paper. They can paint the glue mixture on the jar and stick the pieces of tissue paper on.

Another layer of glue can be painted over the top of the tissue paper to help it adhere better.

Easy Homemade Mother's Day Gift!

When the vases dry you can add flowers or a candle for a lovely homemade Mother’s Day gift! They could be used as a DIY teacher gift for Teacher Appreciation Week next week too.
