Mother’s Day is coming up pretty quickly, which is made more apparent for me by an out-of-town wedding the same weekend. Time to start thinking about gifts. But before you start Mod Podging a macaroni jewelry box or making a crepe paper flower bouquet, take a peek at these super-easy DIY gifts that will be perfect for mom!

Look at this gorgeous rope bowl! Mom will love this to hold fruit on the counter or magazines in the living room. Plus, since you can use any container you like underneath, it can be as big as you want. Nab a super-cheap one from a thrift store! Get a big bucket-sized container to make an awesome umbrella stand!
