There's little Mom loves more than something crafted from the heart, especially if it's created by one of her children.

Martha Stewart has two simple options to make Mom smile on Mother's Day: a spinning greeting card and a tote bag.Check out directions below, or visit MarthaStewart.com for more ideas, crafts and recipes to make Mom's day extra special.Spinning Greeting CardsPut a personal spin on a Mother's (or Father's) Day card: Add a photo that twirls on a string. Kids can pick their favorite snapshots of themselves and glue them back to back, or use only one and cover the other side with colorful paper. Then all that's left to do is write a special message to Mom or Dad.Materials:Bone folderColorful paperScissorsRulerGluePhotoStringInstructions:1. Cut out a sheet of colorful paper with a width that's divisible by three; the example is 12 inches (the height is 7). Use a ruler to divide width into three equal parts; fold paper at those points. Unfold. Fold left flap over middle (these panels will be card's front), then fold both in half (use a bone folder, if you like). Draw a half circle (or half square) over outer fold; cut out, cutting through all layers, just outside line.2. Trim cutouts. Lay one on photo; trace. Cut out photo; glue onto cutout.3. Glue string between photo and the other cutout (or another photo). Place string in fold of middle flap, positioning photo in hole; glue left flap to middle, trapping string inside. Trim string.Visit

This iron-on design spurs their self-expression, with its coloring book-style outlines and the start of a sweet sentiment: "Mom, I love you because ..."Materials:Flower Clip ArtTransfer paper (Epson Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper for basic transfer, available at amazon.com; or Dark T-Shirt Transfers for white-on-dark transfers available at avery.com)Scissors or craft knifeIroned pillowcaseNatural-fiber (such as cotton) tote bagsIronSharpie markers in assorted colorsButcher paperScrap paperInstructions1. Download clip art (see link below), and print it onto transfer paper. (Images will appear in reverse.) Using scissors or a craft knife, cut loosely around the designs, leaving a ⅛-inch border.2. Lay an ironed pillowcase on a table or other hard, heat-resistant surface (not an ironing board, which has too much padding).3. Place an ironed bag on pillowcase. Arrange cutout designs facedown on bag, avoiding seams or pockets.4. With an iron set on high and no steam, slowly iron on designs, applying firm, even pressure (follow the transfer-paper manufacturer's instructions). Let cool. Remove paper backings.5. Before allowing kids to decorate their tote with permanent markers, cover the table with butcher paper. Slip sheets of scrap paper inside the tote to prevent the ink from bleeding.For more information, visit

Last year we got canvas tote bags and let the kids decorate them with fabric paints," says Rodgers. "I also love the idea of a wooden cutting board. They draw on it and then you burn their designs into the wood with a soldering iron."Another idea, says Rodgers, is "kid interviews," where you ask the child questions about the person they are gifting and record their answers. She said the questions can be found by searching online.In fact, Rodgers says she's found a lot of good craft ideas for her children online. Pinterest is a great tool for finding and "pinning" ideas.Times News reader Cyndi Petko shared a cute idea on our Facebook page. It's a wall hanging made from three colorful flip-flops attached side-by-side. On the heel end of the first a large M is written in marker. An O is written on the second, and another M on the third. Silk flowers are attached where the thong connects with the base. A ribbon is attached to the back for hanging.Here are some links for kid interviews:http://bit.ly/1WbDZgXhttp://bit.ly/21AmQN9Here's a link to some craft ideas on Pinterest:http://bit.ly/1Hx2z2X
