The BEST Mother's Day Gifts are Hand-Made!

There's NOTHING like receiving a hand-made gift for Mother's Day, right? We asked a few of our team to make something special ... just for their mothers...using Finnabair's lines: Elementals, Mechanicals, Vintage Vanity, and Sunrise, Sunset! Just wait until you see what they created!

 

My gift idea was a frame with one of my favorite photos of my parents together - young couple, happy, celebrating time together. The metal frame from Ingvild's collection was a perfect choice for that and I couldn't resist to use my favorite elements: clock parts, metal findings, wood sticks, stones - in a great company of Prima Mechanicals and Color Bloom Sprays! ~Finnabair

I turned this plain, wooden bird figure into a fabulous gift for any bird lover by layering Mechanicals, burlap, and feathers cut from the Sunrise Sunset 6x6 papers. A bit of gold paint lit it right up! ~Kelly Foster

My Mom is an artistic soul and I always want to give her something that will inspire her to create. This time I prepared a necklace using Mechanicals. I glued paper inside the watch case, then covered it with clear UTEE. Then I played a bit with trinkets and jump rings. Coloring the  ribbon with sprays adds a sweet touch too. I hope my Mom will like this tiny gift from me. ~Kasia Krzymińska

I created this metal necklace using a few of Finnabair's vintage trinkets and Mechanical pieces. It's really easy to make and it only took me about 20 minutes to assemble. ~Keren Tamir

I wanted to create a very special gift for Mother's Day, so I thought of a decorated jewelry box. I used many Mechanical pieces, and Finnabair's clear stamps to add enough texture to the box, then added Crackle Paste and paints to finish it off! ~Solange Marques
