Celebrate Mom with a Handmade Gift

The most common question asked when thinking about Mother's Day gifts is typically, "What am I going to get mom for Mother's Day?" Or, if you're the kind of mom who loves dropping those subtle gift hints, here are some great DIY gift ideas from Woodcraft.

Instead of buying something for Mother's Day, why not make something for mom? Woodcraft can definitely help you do that with a variety of choices that she can proudly display or use around her home. Imagine her bragging rights with every guest, giving a show and tell of what you made her. You know that puts a smile in her heart and means the world to her! Let's get started!

Resin Wood Art

This "Sea of Life" wood & resin combination is a great Mother's Day project idea, shared to us by Crow Creek Designs by Jess Crow. She has the touch when it comes to seascape products, and you can do the same with Alumilite resins, color dyes and your choice of woods & slabs available at Woodcraft.

Add a favorite wood or resin acrylic turning to a Comfort Core Ring, available in different sizes, to make mom that special piece of jewelry she will be proud to show off. It will surely get noticed for being unique, and the comments will always be, "Hey, where did you get that beautiful ring!" 

Inlay Ring

For that personal touch, make her a ring. It can be done with or without a lathe. Add Mom’s favorite color or birthstone to an Inlay Ring Kit. Simply use CA glue, resin, or adhesive into the inlay channel and add in the Cultured Opal material. Be sure to find out Mom’s ring size with our Ring Sizing Set beforehand! Watch How to Make an Inlay Ring and see how easy it can be to create jewelry.
