I love pairing this cupcake liner flower craft with other Mother’s Day gifts to make the day extra special. We either make these DIY picture frames, this pretzel wreath, these salt dough thumbprint ornaments, or this directed drawing calendar. I always choose a few different activities so we can give both grandmas something different. We usually make the pretzel wreaths for everyone and then do a different craft for each special person.
