Mother's Day is approaching and it's time to think about a gift for our mothers and all the special women in our lives. If you're still looking, we have a creative idea for you: why not give something homemade? Because there's nothing nicer than giving gifts a personal touch and showing how much we appreciate our loved ones.
That's why we would like to share our latest upcycling idea with you, which will allow you to create a unique surprise in no time at all. Let's be creative together and conjure up something beautiful for our moms!
- Motif paper and/or kraft paper
- Paper straws
- Parcel string and/or gift ribbon
- Scissors
- adhesive
- Ruler or set square
- empty Pelster's can
- Potted plant
That's how it works:
First, we start with upcycling the can. To do this, you need an empty and clean Pelster's can in which you first plant your flower.
In order to be able to cut the pattern paper to fit later, you should measure the tin. The height is easy to measure, but the width is a little more difficult due to the round shape. I recommend putting a piece of thread around the tin and measuring it. The circumference of the tin corresponds to the width of the pattern paper to be cut out.
Now transfer the measurements to the pattern paper and cut out the template with scissors. Then stick the pattern paper to the can with glue.
Next, it's time for the pennant garland. I drew small pennants on a sheet of paper, cut them out and used them as a template for the kraft paper. Now write the words of your choice on the pennants. Then attach them to a string and tie this to the paper straws.
Put the straws into the flower and your great upcycling gift idea for Mother's Day is ready!
What will your mother get for Mother's Day? Flowers, chocolates or something homemade? Feel free to write it in the comments!
