Use Fresh Flowers

Simply adding fresh cut flowers creates so much more than just a usual gift. It can add color to your package, a beautiful fresh scent and timeless style.

Pom-Poms & Wax Paper Embellishments

Whipperberry is one of my new favorite websites for creative DIY ideas. Can you believe that this cute, yet simple flower is made from wax paper? You could have all the supplies you need for this in your own kitchen! The wax paper flower is similar to the Mexican tissue paper flower I mentioned in Cinco De Mayo: Kid Style.

Paper Crafted Butterflies

Add a little flare with any paper craft shape. I love butterflies and I think Mom will too. Martha Stewart has a great large double punch monarch butterfly that will work well for this project if you don't want to cut the shapes out by hand. You can pick one up at Michaels, Target or almost any store that carries craft products. Here's a video tutorial of someone making 3D paper craft butterflies using the Martha Stewart punch.

Velvet Ribbon & Brooch

Using velvet ribbon with a brooch centerpiece is an elegant way to put the finishing touch on your gift. Not only can Mom use the brooch for many years to come, it creates less waste and added style.
