With the coming of spring comes the fast approach of several holidays that "require" gifts to be made, cards to given, and love to be shared. So this year I went hunting for a craft to make for my mother, but also one that you could use as a gift to help a child make for his or her mother. And this is what I decided on.
 |
| The inside of this nifty list/coupon organizer. |
All you need is an empty dvd or cd case and some pretty paper and decorations and I piece of thin cardboard. I used some scrapbooking paper, buttons, and markers to make mine.
 |
| This is the paper and buttons I used for the front cover. |
But you could also let a child color a picture and use it for the cover.
 |
| Once you design your cover slide it in behind the plastic sleeve of the case. |
 |
| The front covered finished. |
After you finish decorating the outside use the cardboard to cover the now empty circle and then cover the cardboard with more pretty paper or artwork.
 |
| I used these 3-D glue dots to hold the cardboard over the circle. |
Slide some notebook paper under the clips if your case has them and add a pocket for coupons if you choose.
 |
| I put a pocket for coupons in the one I made. |
And this will be a quick and easy, and yet useful, gift for any woman on your Mother's Day list.
Enjoy, and Happy Mother's Day!!
