Hey guys, it’s Ro! Today we are gonna be making some DIY Mother’s Day Gifts!
Mother’s day is coming up and I thought I would make a video with some fun ideas!
The first thing that we’re gonna be making is a Mother’s Day breakfast, I love making
breakfast for people, it’s just a very simple and sweet way to show that you care.
We are gonna be making Heart Shaped Egg in a Hole Toast and Fruit Kabobs!
The things that you will need to make this Mother’s Day breakfast, will be: A cantaloupe,
watermelon, honeydew, your mom’s favorite type of bread, I’m using country white,
some eggs, a metal circle cookie cutter, a large heart shaped cookie cutter, a small
heart shaped cookie cutter, and some wood skewers!
To make our heart shaped fruit kabobs, we are gonna cut our melon into slices.
You’re gonna need a cutting board and a sharp cutting knife.
I am gonna be cutting my melon hotdog wise, from end to end, just be careful of your
fingers! Just cut him in half, like so, and then we’re gonna scoop out the middle!
Once you’ve got everything scooped out you’re gonna flip your melon upside down,
and we’re gonna turn it the hamburger way!
And now we’re gonna cut slices!
Mmmmmmm!
Now take your small heart shaped cookie cutter and we’re gonna cut out a bunch
of little fruit hearts! Now we’re gonna do this to the rest of our melons!
Now that we have our fruit hearts cut out, we are going to stick them onto a kabob,
to make a fruit kabob!
So I”m gonna start with green, honeydew melon! Then take a piece of cantaloupe, keep
adding melon until your whole kabob is filled with fruit!
Da-dew! Look at these, they’re so cute, you can make as many as you like.
Now I’m gonna stick these in the fridge to chill, and while they’re in the fridge,
we are gonna make some Egg in a Hole Heart Toast.
There are many different ways to make Egg in a Hole Toast, but the way I’m gonna show you is
super easy and it will look very pretty!
The first thing you’re gonna do is put your bread in the toaster.
Once toasted take your large, heart shaped cookie cutter and cut
the shape out in the middle of the toast.
You can do this to as many slice of toast that you’d like.
Now take your eggs and your circle cookie cutter, and we're gonna head over to the stove.
Place the cookie cutter in the center of your frying pan, grease the pan and all sides
of your cookie cutter, you don’t want the egg to stick to your cookie cutter!
Now, turn the burner heat onto medium-low, wait for the pan to heat up and then crack
1 egg into the middle of your cookie cutter.
Using a small spatula, gently push the yolk into the center.
Now cover the pan with a lid until the egg is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the lid and using some tongs, gently take off the cookie cutter,
and then slide the egg onto a plate.
Using your heart shaped cookie cutter, carefully cut out the shape,
being sure not to touch the yolk!
Ta-da! Here’s our Mother’s day breakfast idea!
We have Heart Egg in a Hole Toast, and Fruit Kabobs! I personalized it a little bit more
for my mom, we’ve got coffee and cream in the morning and some of her favorite flowers.
She loves the yellow tulips!
Next, we are gonna be making a Rose Cupcake Bouquet, it’s a really fun alternative to
giving someone a bouquet of flowers,
we’re gonna be giving them a bouquet of yummy treats!
The things you’ll need to make the Rose Cupcake Bouquet, will be: a flower pot, I found
this 1 at Michael’s, as well as this foam sphere, some toothpicks, green cupcake liners,
these ones are by Wilton, I found these at Target. A bunch of your favorite cupcakes,
you can use any recipe you’d like, a pack of Wilton Color Right, some white decorator
icing, green tissue paper, ribbon, piping bags, and a Wilton decorating tip,
this 1 is size 2D.
To decorate our cupcakes, we are first going to dye our icing, I’m gonna be dying it
a pink color, using Color Right.
So I’m gonna take 2 pink, boop-boop! And then 1 drop of crimson. I love this
color pink, my friends at Wilton helped me come up with this color,
it’s called Ro’s Rose!
Now that we’ve got our icing mixed, we’re gonna assemble our decorating bags, so you’re
gonna take your 2D tip, and place it at the end of your piping bag, push it all the way down,
and take some baking scissors and cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!
Then you’re gonna fold down the sides, place your bag in the cup. Now scoop
your icing into the bag, and then tie it off with an elastic tie or a hair tie, whatever
you have handy!
Now we’re gonna be icing our cupcakes to look like roses, it’s really easy, I’m
gonna show you how to do it.
So you just squeeze a little bit in the middle, and then you spin around!
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
And then at the end, you lighten the pressure and let it taper off, and boom!
Looks like a little rose!
I just finished frosting the cupcakes, and popped them in the fridge for about 10 minutes
to chill, and while they are chilling, we’re gonna assemble our bouquet, so the
first thing you’re gonna do is take your foam sphere, and place it right here.
And the second thing you’re gonna do is cut a piece of ribbon, and we’re gonna tie
it around our pot with a little bow, just for a little bit of decoration.
And now, you’re gonna take your empty cupcake liner, and a toothpick,
and we are gonna position where we’re gonna put our cupcake flowers on the sphere,
leaving about this much of the toothpick poking out,
and that will hold on our cupcakes all around.
Got our little liners on here, boop, boop, boop! And now we’re gonna cut some
green tissue paper to fill in, in between the cupcakes to look like a flower bouquet.
This part’s really really easy, just gonna take your scissors, and you're gonna
cut little squares, and you’re gonna layer them like this.
Then you’re gonna put your thumb in the middle, kinda pinch ‘em down, around your thumb.
Looks like a little flower carnation decoration, and take a toothpick,
stick it through the side, and you’re gonna stick it in between the cupcakes.
Our bouquet is ready, we’re on the final step, you’re going to remove your cupcake
liner, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
And then, you’re gonna take one of your rose cupcakes, and you’re gonna place it
right where the liner was.
Da-dew! Here is the Rose Cupcake Bouquet that we made!
It’s even better than a real bouquet because you can eat it!
Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!
As some of you know, my mom just moved to LA, and she doesn’t have a lot of decor yet.
So, for our last Mother’s Day Gift Idea, I’m gonna be making some custom heart shaped
pillows for her home!
Hopefully, every time she looks at them, she remembers how much I love my Mama Mia!
The things that you’ll need to make your custom pillows will be:
Some decorative pillows, you can get new ones, or use ones that you have lying around
the house that you’d like to up-cycle, some sticker paper, scissors, some
multi-surface acrylic paint, I found these at Michael’s, they’re from the
Martha Stewart line, and the color is Lake Fog. A sponge brush, and a smaller
brush for touch ups.
To start, you’re gonna take your sticker paper, and you’re gonna print any design
that you want, onto the piece of paper.
I printed a little heart, because I wanted my Mama Mia, every time she saw the pillow,
just to know how much loved her. But if your mom has any special interests, like she
really like Unicorns, or fishing, or gardening, or playing video games, you can print off
a little design that will be special for her.
Now what you’re gonna do is we’re gonna cut out the heart. we’re gonna use
the outside as a stencil, so you’re gonna cut out the middle.
Yewp! Hmm-hmm-hmm! Now we've got our shape cut out, and now you’re gonna peel off the back.
The back is so sticky, so just take your time on positioning. The most important part
is where it’s touching the fabric, right here.
It’s already shaping up to be a cute heart, aw-doo-doo-doo!
Now it’s time to decorate!
You’re gonna take your paint, open it up, boop! And I’m just gonna put some here
on a plate, because I don’t have any fancy art bowls… Or I don’t know what you put
paint in. I’m gonna take my little sponge-y brush, kind of looks like a little
dinner bell, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
Then you’re just gonna gently sponge on top of the fabric and fill in the entire heart.
Once our heart’s painted, now we’re gonna gently peel off the sticker paper, then
with our little brush, we’re just gonna do some minor touch-ups!
Da-da! Here are all the Mother’s Day DIY Gift Ideas that we made today!
