When you have children in your life its sometimes hard to come up with creative craft ideas for Mothers Day, particularly ones that they can really get involved in.
It seems like nearly everything's been done before (and repeated if you have more than one child). The good news is, however, that ultimately Mom appreciates any effort. Creative Mothers Day crafts don't have to be perfect, just thoughtful.
Craft: Button-Up Bracelet:
This is one of those fun and simple craft ideas for Mothers Day. If you're helping a child put something together for mom, one thing you could do is save buttons from clothing that they've grown out of.
Along with the buttons you'll need a small supply of:
To make this creative Mother's Day craft, first have the child play around with the beads on a cloth to see what pattern he or she likes best. Now, cut a length of the elastic / string. Put the first button in place, then a couple of beads, followed again by beads, and so on until you have enough length to go around the wrist.
Leave about 3-4 inches on each end so that you can put the closures in place. Add the crimping bead at both ends of the jewelry string, followed by your closures. Now you have a bracelet where there's a memory in each button.
Make it Even More Special: It might be fun to write about the clothing from which the buttons came
Fun Variation:
You can use this same craft idea for Mothers Day to make other homemade gifts for Mom. For instance, use this basic idea to make key chains-- simply substituting an empty key ring for the closures.

This is one of those fun and simple craft ideas for Mothers Day. If you're helping a child put something together for mom, one thing you could do is save buttons from clothing that they've grown out of.
Along with the buttons you'll need a small supply of:
- Thin elastic or jewelry string
- Closures for a bracelet
- Crimping beads
- Regular beads (any you fancy)
- Pliers (needle nose work best)
