Mother, in so many words: a simple DIY Gift for Mom

Make this simple DIY gift for mom with only a printer and some paper! Add an envelope or frame for gifting. Read on to find out how!

I loved Mother’s Day before I was a mom. Even those years I waited to be a mom, I loved this day. I loved a day to tell my mom I loved her especially. That she was a good mom. And I’m sure I didn’t even do a great job of telling her (once I broke half her dishes trying to put them away as my gift for Mom!! haha!), but I still liked that my mom had “a day.”

I don’t think Mother’s Day needs to be overly complicated or expensive. But it certainly is nice to pause and say thank you.

A simple word. A card. A phone call.

I love creating digital products and projects on my computer or tablet. Usually I use Canva, which is really helpful for design work when you’re not a designer (me!). I’ve used it to make quick printable cards, creating a writing workshop series, or designing mother’s day gifts.

I came up with a simple DIY gift for mom that you might want to make if you’re looking for a last-minute gift or addition to a gift bag or basket. In fact, it really only takes about fifteen minutes!

You’ll need

• a computer,
• a printer,
• some nice paper,
• a frame or envelope

Create a simple DIY Gift for mom

1. Visit a word cloud site like Word Cloud and type in a dozen or so words that describe your mother.
2. Hit create, and a word cloud image will populate.
3. Choose your fonts, colors, sizes and shape.
4. Hit randomize as often as you like to see variations. (you can’t go back to previous versions though so if you like something, save it!)

When your design is to your liking, save or download it to your computer! (Be sure you remember where the file saves to! It is usually to your desktop or downloads folder).

Now you can print your Mother’s Day word cloud, and do so many things with it.

• Share to social media
• Print onto cardstock to create a card
• Print and frame and give to your mom
• Use the image to create a number of printable gift ideas online

I love this gift idea because it’s incredibly simple, but so meaningful. It’s unique, because the words are chosen by you, so your mom gets a very personal and heartfelt gift. AND it’s useful, because you can send it as a card or create decor with it.
