Resin pour projects are fun to do and you can really unleash your creativity. If you want something entirely unique and customizable then you’ll probably enjoy this project a lot.

You can purchase any basic wooden cutting board for this. You can get them cheap from the Dollar Tree or easily snag them online for an affordable price.

Stencils make for a great way to decorate wood because you can find stencils for anything and everything. You can use stencil letters to write a message or you can simply come up with unique designs.
If you’re not wanting to use stencils you can also opt to paint the box or stain it. Instead of writing on the box you can always place a message of sincerity and love for your mom inside as a bonus gift!
#6. Wooden Garden Markers
Does your Mom love gardening? If so then you might like to make her some wooden garden markers! For this Mothers Day wooden craft idea you’ll need just a handful of supplies.
First I recommend using durable craft sticks or flat wooden stakes. If you have good carpentry skills then you can always carve wood into the shape and size you want.
Supplies:
- Wood for the garden marker.
- Wood stain/Outdoor paint.
- Waterproof Seal
You can stain the wooden garden marker but make sure it is totally dry before you continue onto the next step.
Write the name of the plant on the marker. You can use outdoor vinyl to label or waterproof markers for this.
Optionally you can use a sealant on the wooden marker to give it a longer life outdoors after you’ve finished.
#7. Wooden Flower Vase
All you need for this Mothers Day wood craft is a square or cylindrical piece of wood. If you are already and expert at carving wood then you can make it yourself or opt for a ready made vase.
Personalize the vase in any way you choose! If there are grandkids you can have them use non-toxic paint to leave a handprint on the vase for a sentimental touch.
Otherwise you can decorate with vinyl, paint, stencils, glitter, or whatever you want!
You can put real flowers in the vase or go for something even more creative and make a paper bouquet.
#8. Personalized Wooden Spoons
If your mom loves being in the kitchen then you can create this easy DIY gift in a flash and she is sure to treasure it for years to come!
