by 3 Comments

Crafting doesn’t have to be expensive to look expensive. This easy decoupage idea is perfect for a gift. If you are looking for a handmade Mother’s Day gift idea. This might be the one for you!
As a mom, I treasure the gifts that my kids make for me. My mom proudly wears the hats I crocheted for her a couple of years ago, each winter. She always takes a selfie and posts it on Facebook with a short thank you message. She made me, so I can certainly take the time to make gifts for her! This one is easy enough for any non-crafter to make.
