In Australian primary schools, a Mother’s Day craft stall is very popular. Kids take in a few dollars to buy a little something for their Mum. So if you are looking for a gift idea to make for your Mum or a craft idea that you can whip up for the craft stall, here is a round-up of some Mother’s Day Crafts that you can make. Click on the link under each photo to be taken to the full tutorial.
