I took a break from my final papers this weekend to make something special for my mom. Since Mother's Day is the day after graduation she keeps saying that my diploma will be her present. She is so sweet, but I of course got her a gift too! I found this blank card in my stationary box and decided to dress it up. With a little yarn, I transformed it into an extra special Mother's Day card just for her! :)
1. Take your card and decide where you want to add the crochet edge. I cut a strip off the bottom so the edge wouldn't hang over the side.2. Use a hole punch to add holes evenly across the bottom. Take your yarn and crochet hook and follow the adding a crochet edge to paper instructions I posted here.
3. Draw "Mom" on the top of the card with glue and then add yarn over the top
4. Allow to dry
I really hope she likes it! I know it is a small gesture, but what mom doesn't love a handmade card?
Mother's Day is still a week away, but I hope she knows I never would have made it through college without her.
Thanks mom. I love you!! :-)





This is so cute!I think I could try and do that for my mom too! :) I love crochet embellishments!
ReplyDeleteThank you a beautiful idea! :) Where do you get so many ideas? It's really so good. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I posted a tutorial (http://karewares.blogspot.com/2012/05/diy-mothers-day-flower-pot-card.html) for a more child-geared Mother's Day card with yarn embellishments. I will definitely be trying out yours for a more "adult" card for my own mom!

Aw so amazing! I'm still trying to figure out what to get my mom for mothers day. I wanted to crochet something for her, but since we run an etsy shop together, it might be hard to keep it a secret! :)

I love your stork scissors! I have a pair of my own and recently found out that midwives used to use them to cut umbilical cords and stored them in their sewing boxes. :)
