Mother’s Day Gifts – DIY

I think that the best gift for any mom is the one that is handmade by you, so get creative and make your mom something she’ll love and use. Here’s a clever idea from DIY’s Craft Lab:

Simple Aluminum Bud Vase

Step 1 - cut the aluminum dryer duct in half

Step 2 – remove the cut semi-circle

Step 3 – feather it out with your hands

Step 4 – until both ends meet

Step 5 – cut a small strip of foil tape

Step 6 – tape the open end and smooth out the crease

Step 7 – insert a test tube, some water and a flower

Step 8 – and now you have a flower vase for your mom!

Materials: Aluminum dryer duct, industrial scissors or x-acto knife, foil tape, test tube, flower
