Every child wants to give her mom something for to make her feel loved on Mother’s Day. Today’s project is a simple and inexpensive craft for a child to make for her mom or grandmother for Mother’s Day. It is a great gift on it’s own, but can be added with a special book Mom would enjoy on her special day.
1. Cut a piece of Bowdabra wire approx. 12 inches long, then thread it through a large paper clip.
