Just because the kids are teens or tweens does not mean they can’t still make DIY Mothers Day Gifts for you.  I saw a similar product at a big box store that costs $20.   For about half that cost your kids can make one for you and even their grandmothers if they feel so inclined. 

These Inexpensive Candy Flowers Vases take very little time or skill. As long as they can use a glue gun safely this is the perfect DIY  Mothers Day Gifts for Teens and Tweens.  These make great Teacher Appreciation Week Ideas too.  You can add gift cards on sticks instead of some of the candy. 

We decided to make a Chocolate lovers Mothers Day Gift as well as a Sweet Tooth Candy Vase.   No matter which candy type you mother enjoys, you can adapt this craft to their liking. 

What you need for these DIY Mothers Day Gifts Candy Vases

• Movie Size Candy Boxes (3 per Vase)
• Styrofoam or Flower foam
• Bamboo Skewers
• Hot Clue Gun
• Ribbon 
• Packing tape, optional
• Snack Size Candy
• Tissue Paper

Once you pick your theme, simply cut the styrofoam to fit inside the three boxes. 

Glue the boxes together. 

Optional to add a piece of clear packing tape around the boxes for extra support. 

Attach bamboo skewers to the back of the candy packing you plan on using as flowers 

Insert the flowers into the Styrofoam 

Fill in empty space with tissue paper. 

Add a ribbon and balloon if desired. 

Done,  told you this was super simple and that even the most lazy teenager can complete this thoughtful gift for their mom.  Just hope they don’t eat all the candy before they put it together.!
