Black and White Photo Collage

Mom loves pictures...especially when they are pictures of her family. Make Mom this special photo collage that she can hang and admire for years. Make black and white photo copies of pictures you know Mom will just die for and glue them to a large wooden block letter...maybe M for Mom or the first letter of her last name. And presto...you have a special Mother's Day gift unlike any other.

Now this one is darling...Mom is sure to love it. You can make it in a snap and say just about anything you want to say. Think of something meaningful and type it out using the template of every optometrist's eye chart on the planet. You know...one really big letter first, then shrink the size of the letters down for each line that follows. Get any frame that is large enough to fit your special statement...best Mother's Day gift ever!

This gift might take you a little bit more time to make, but we think its well worth it. You just need a hinged wooden box (which can be found at any local craft or hobby store), some Mod Podge, paint and really pretty paper. You know your mom the best, so be sure to create a jewelry box using colors and patterns Mom will love. This custom, handmade jewelry box is the perfect place for Mom can keep all of her favorite things...you know she'll just love it.

Now get to work and show Mom just how much she means to you this Mother's Day!
