Mother’s Day is just around the corner! Still looking for a great Mother’s Day gift? The best ones are always handmade, just like in the old days. But this time, let’s aim for something a bit more polished—without making it complicated! We’ve devised a fun Mother’s Day DIY: a personalised flowerpot.

Create a personalised flowerpot for your mum

What you’ll need for this Mother’s Day DIY:

  • A flowerpot, such as a terracotta pot
  • Paint, in your mum’s favourite colours
  • Brushes in various sizes
  • An Anthurium plant

Terracotta pots are durable, affordable, and come in various sizes. While they all look quite similar, that makes them the perfect blank canvas for painting! With some paint and creativity, you can transform a simple pot into a thoughtful, personalised gift for your mum.

If the pot is dusty, give it a quick clean so the paint adheres well. Make sure it’s completely dry before you start painting. Think of a theme, pattern, or quote that reflects your mum’s personality. You can sketch your design in pencil first to ensure it turns out just right. Once you’re happy with your design, start painting! When your masterpiece is finished, spray it with a waterproof varnish to protect the paint.

A simpler Mother’s Day DIY

Not feeling very creative or short on time? No problem! Buy a pretty flowerpot, place an Anthurium plant inside, and wrap it originally. Check out the video below for a great wrapping idea. Your mum is sure to love it!
