Need a homemade Mother's Day idea?...Turn kids' artwork into sweet jewelry

What do you do when it comes to choosing the perfect piece of jewelry for Mother's Day? Do you spend big and get mom that gorgeous Italian coral Tahitian and pearl Serenissima necklace she's been stalking on Etsy? Do you opt for something sure to tug at her heartstrings? Or perhaps you homemake it whipping up a piece of tear-inducing bling?

If the third choice sounds like you then check out this tutorial for featuring your kids' art on a Scrabble tile pendent from Melissa of Chasing Cheerios. This idea isn't the newest idea but it's a grand idea for bringing the love to mom big-time. And besides being super-cute it's easy and cheap to make, eco-friendly and unique. Take my advice and pick up a bottle of paper glaze for that glass-like dimensional effect...So shiny, so pretty. Imagine showing off your favorite piece of art made by your favorite 4 year old, featuring a picture of a 4-tentacled, snaggletoothed smiley face (which you're told is you) standing under a stringy rainbow...Priceless...
