DIY Custom Mothers Day Gift Ideas Part 2 | DIY
Exfoliating scrub
You will need coconut oil, sugar, essential oils or fragrance, I am using lilac, food coloring and a glass jar or container. This recipe is 2 parts sugar to 1 part coconut oil. I used ¼ cup but had to make more for once my coconut oil liquified. I used 2 ¼ cups or ½ cup of sugar then I added ¼ cup of coconut oil. Mine was a little too hard to mix so I put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to help soften it up. Then I added 5-7 drops of my lilac to my mixture and 3 drops of purple food coloring and I mixed that up.Then I added everything to my jar and finalized my exfoliant with a bow to make it cuter for when my mom opens her gift.
Travel Jewelry organizer
I am going to add my initials to the jewelry case. I started by uploaded my design from Canva to design space. I just prefer creating my designs in Canva for any font projects. Then I made my initials 2 inches wide to fit my jewelry box. I clicked continue and mirrored my mat and clicked make it. From there I selected the everyday iron on and the more pressure and let my Cricut do it’s thing. After, I weeded out my design and it revealed perfect gold letters. Then I heated up my cricut easy press to 255 degrees while I placed my initials in the center. Then I used my cricut easy press for 30 seconds to heat the design to my jewelry box. Lastly I removed the transfer tape and revealed the beautiful customization.
Mom Homemade Card
I found a font I like from Canva and imported the design into design space. I resized it and created an offset for it. There was a hole where the o was so I used the circle shape tool to attach it by welding it together. Then I added the original text back on it to temporarily attach it to the offset. I created a shape to mimic the size of my card to decide the proportion for my cuts. I wanted the offset to be closer to 1.5 inches high.
I deleted the remaining shapes and detached the offset and text. Then I turned off the text and clicked make it. I upped the quantity to 8 but if you are only making 1 card, you will want to only do 4. I clicked continue and selected the Kraft cardstock and let my cricut cut it out. Next I hid the offset and just showed the text and clicked make it. Then I upped the quantity to 8 since I am making two cards, but you will just need to do 4 for one card. Then I rearranged my text to fit on my different colors of paper. Then I clicked continue and selected the Kraft Cardstock for my cricut to cut them out. Once I removed all of the cut pieces from the cricut mat I added the text to the offset by using a glue stick. Once I had them all glued down, I flooded my paper to make my card. Then I placed down all of the ‘Mom’ pieces and made sure they were evenly spaced. Then I put foam tape on the back of each mom piece and added it to the paper making sure everything was straight. I continued that to all four.
