You'll need:
One coffee can with lid
Sand
Florist picks or pipe cleaners
Florist wire
Paper or felt
Fabric or Acrylic Paint

Paint the outside of the can with paint or use glue to cover with fabric. When it is dry, paint your message. 
"Happy Mother's Day,"I Love my Mom", etc. 
You may want to paint the date on the back of the can as well.
Mother's love to keep and date everything! Make 3-5 flowers using
paper or felt. Glue the flowers onto the florist picks.
Add leaves if you wish. Fill the can with sand and secure the top.
Arrange the flowers and poke them into the can top.
Kit's Tips:
I find it difficult to use regular glue with felt and pipe cleaners.
You may want to get help with a glue gun or use tape instead.
You can also use wire stemmed artificial flowers to save the step
of creating the flowers.

Sunflower Pin Cushion
What a pretty way to keep pins handy!

You'll need:
A yogurt container
Felt
Fabric
Glue
Rubber band
Styrofoam ball

Glue green felt onto an empty yogurt container to cover it completely. 
Cut the  flower petals from any color felt you choose.
Glue them around the inside edge of the container, so that they
are sticking out from the top.
Now, you'll need a foam ball that is slightly larger than the
yogurt container. Cover the ball with fabric, leaving enough fabric to
secure with a rubber band at the bottom. Insert the ball into the cup, rubber band side down, and you are all done! Add a few pins for starter.
By the way, the top of a liquid detergent bottle will work for a base as well.
