I recently scrounged through all my original how-to’s and thought I’d compile a roundup of all those appropriate for Mother’s/Father’s Day gifts…or gifts for yourself! Some would make great wedding/shower favors too.

A DIY Wooden Tea Light Candle Holder is always popular.
The Roach Clip Memo/Picture Clips is a quick and easy project.
I still love my Wine Bottle Turned Oil Lamp.
For $1.50, you can’t beat the Vasemaker.
The ‘Using Paper Napkins to Make Decorative Tile Coasters‘ is one of my all-time favorites.
Mom might appreciate a paper flower ball posted at diymaven.com.
And speaking of flowers, the Branch of Paper Cherry Blossoms (pictured above) is another all-time fav.
Oh, and the Zen Garden on a Budget! I loved that video. My assistant starred in it.
Another little something for Mom: Aromatherapy ‘Sweets’.
A big project with big impact is my Jewelry Pegboard.
How about a little Beaded Wire Collage?
My recent Floating Frame how-to might be a hit.
A Mid-Mod Mom might like a Girard-esque Sun.
For the gardeners in your life, Quick and Easy Garden Decor.
A Pocketed Booklet for the notetakers and bibliophiles could be a good choice.
An Accordian Photo Album would be a welcomed gift.
Help your loved ones get organized with these Conversational Task Clips.
