Mother's Day is a special occasion to celebrate the love and bond between a mother and child. One great way to show your appreciation for your mom is to create a DIY art gift. Here are 8 unique gift-ideas that guarantee a smile on your mom’s face!
Handprint Canvas
Dip your hand in paint and make a handprint on a canvas. Then, use paint or markers to write a message or draw designs around the handprint. You may select to frame a finished product. Remember to choose a frame that complements the print and matches your mother's decor. You can also add a heartfelt note or message to the back of the frame to make it extra special. If you are looking for high-quality canvases, we are happy to introduce you to our Fredrix collection of professional art supplies.
Photo Collage
Print out some of your favorite photos with your mom and arrange them in a collage. You can also add some embellishments, like stickers or cutouts. Why not go bigger? You may use our fantastic service called Photo Collages or Word Collage designs, which will make a gift more sentimental and unique.
Personalized Mug
Buy a plain white mug and use sharpie markers or porcelain paint to write a message or draw designs on it. You can also add some embellishments like glitter or rhinestones. If you would like for the design of the mug to stay the same throughout many more Mother’s Days, you may look into dye-sublimation on ceramics. Dye-sublimation products last for several decades, without losing their saturation and quality. Simply create a digital design or upload a photograph and your mug will be ready within 3-5 business days!
Personalized Quote Print
Choose a favorite quote or saying that your mother loves and have it printed and framed. It could be an inspiring quote, a funny saying, or a favorite family motto. Make sure that the quote will resonate with your mother in order for the gifts to be more sentimental.
Pet Portrait Print
If your mother has a beloved pet, consider having a portrait of the pet printed and framed. It can be a sweet reminder of the special bond between your mother and her furry friend. There are so many materials you can select for the pet portrait print, such as: fine art paper, metal, wood, canvas and MDF plaques. If you are looking for a print that can be framed later on, always keep in mind the surroundings that the final product will be hung at.
Art Reproduction
If your mother loves art, consider getting her a framed art print of her favorite artist or painting. You can also choose a print that reflects her personal style and taste. KeenART Media offers a variety of pre-selected art reproductions made by world-known artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and many others. Simply select a desired image and our professional team will take care of the rest, by stretching a canvas onto a stretcher bar frame of either ¾” or 1 ½” depth.
Travel Print
If your mother loves to travel, consider getting her a framed print of her favorite destination or a map of the world. It can be a great way to remind her of her travels and inspire her to plan her next trip. If you would like to print a map, it is best to consider printing on fine art print paper, and later framing the piece, in order to provide extra protection.
Floral Print
A framed floral print can be a classic and timeless gift for Mother's Day. You can choose a print with your mother's favorite flowers or a color scheme that matches her home décor. You can go an extra mile and create a beautiful DIY piece by using dried up flowers, sealed in between a plexiglass and framed according to the color palette of the floral arrangement.
The most important part of any gift is the thought and effort put into it. So, be creative and have fun making something special for your mom on Mother's Day!
