Inspirational Quotes on Photo Gems

I absolutely love homemade gifts. Mother’s Day is around the corner (seriously guys it’s this Sunday – the 8th!). Here is a very simple and affordable craft you can create yourself or with your kids for Mother’s Day (or any special occasion).

First off you can most definitely find a bag of clear see through gems at the Dollar Store. What a bargain right there. I personally prefer to use what I have at home. I have two kids that love to do crafts, so we happen to have a lot of crafty items. Also, I tend to hoard anything and everything I may ever think could be used in a craft project. 

You want to trace around the gems on a preferably white paper. I used regular ol printer paper. Tracing the gems gives you an area to work with and be able to create your own mini art masterpiece.

You can use crayons or permanent markets. And you know what? You could if you are really good, maybe print out a special quote or image and put behind these gems! I’m not that good. So I’m left to my own handy work.

Here are some inspirational quotes I thought seemed to fit for Mother’s Day.

Home is where Mom is
First My Mother, Forever My Friend
It Takes Courage to Conquer Fear

After you create what you would like on these photo gems you will want to cut your photo out. I then used kids white glue to stick them on to the gems. It dries clear and works for me. You may want a fancier glue – as I call it 😉 When you have it glued on there may be some small edges hanging off. You can use your scissors and glide at an angle across the gem trimming the edges off.

When you are done you can either add a magnet (I found not all will stay on the fridge unless you have some heavy duty magnet which I do not) or just use for decoration.
