Mother’s Day Cooking Keepsake Craft

By • May 2, 2018 • Family, Gift Ideas, Holidays

It’s May and it’s finally feeling like spring! I don’t know about you all, but Mother’s Day has really snuck up on me this year. I usually like to get something for my mom and my mother-in-law to go along with a homemade card or note from the kids. I got this cute idea from Amy at the aptly named, Idea Room, but wrote my own poem. My mother-in-law loves to bake and cook with my kids. She’s great at making plans for pizza nights and cookie nights with them whenever they sleep over so I thought this personal, but practical gift would be perfect.

Almost everything you need for the craft can be purchased at the Dollar Tree: oven mitt, sponge, string. Buy the smallest jar of white and red fabric paint you can find. I got mine at Michaels for under $5. The fabric paint will keep the handprint on the oven mitt, even if it needs to be washed.

Materials Needed:

  • Oven Mitt
  • Fabric Paint (I used red and white.)
  • Sponge or Foam Brush
  • Yarn or String
  • Single Hole Punch
  • Printable Mother’s Day Gift Tag (printable below)

 

MOTHERS DAY OVEN MITT INSTRUCTIONS from the Idea Room

  1. Take your oven mitt and place it on a flat surface.:
  2. Take your child’s hand and paint a little fabric paint on the palm of their hand with a foam brush. Don’t do a lot of paint. If you paint it on so that it isn’t too thick you will get a little more definition of the hand rather than a large glob of paint. You may want to practice on a piece of paper first.
  3. Take the child’s hand and hold it steady with your own two hands and gently press it onto the fabric making sure that the entire hand is pressed on the oven mitt.
  4. Wash your child’s hand and then let the paint dry. If there are a few areas that did not get enough paint, you can take a small paint brush and touch up those areas.
  5. Take the red paint and paint a heart over the child’s palm print.
  6. Print out the free Mother’s Day Poem on some white card stock and attach it with some yarn or string.

Happy Mother’s Day!
