Step 1: Download and Print the Free You Are My Sunshine Mom Craft Template
Download the Free You Are My Sunshine Mom Template. The PDF format file contains everything you need to make this sweet keepsake.
The included template contains Mom and Grandma. There’s also a blank if you want to add Stepmom or other mother figures (even dad). You can make the perfect gift for whomever you need.
Step 2: Cut Out the Craft Shapes
Print the You Are My Sunshine Mom craft template. You will be stapling them to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make their own Mother’s Day art.
- Glue the big yellow sun piece onto your blank construction paper.
- Glue the orange circle into the middle of your yellow sun.
- Glue the red heart anywhere you like.
- Glue your saying onto the paper somewhere next to your sun.
- Don’t forget to sign your name.
