When it comes to Mother’s Day decorations, I feel it is always better to lean towards crafts that have been made with care by those who love mom most. A great way to double up on decorating and gift giving is with a hand print banner!
Not only does it make an adorable decoration piece for Mother’s Day, but I guarantee mom will want to keep this beautiful decoration and keep it on display for years to come.
The various sizes of hands and feet from every member of the family add such a personal touch. Especially if there are little ones in the family, this makes a wonderfully sentimental decor option.

You could use sticker letters or finger-painted frames for extra family fun, or keep them simple with neutral colors!
Whatever you choose, be sure to pick some favorite family photos to place in the frames of your flowers for these Mothers Day decoration ideas.

Surprise mom in the morning as she comes into the kitchen for her daily cup of coffee with this lovely table tray! What better way to make her feel special and acknowledged first thing in the morning?
To be extra thoughtful, place all of the things that she might need for the perfect cup of coffee on the tray. A clean mug, her favorite flavor, a stirring spoon, and maybe some chocolates to accompany everything is the perfect way to start her day.
The best Mothers Day decoration ideas are not only beautiful, but also functional!
6. Decorate the Dining Table

When it comes to table settings for Mother’s Day, there are so many different designs and beautiful themes to choose from. A table full of pink with fresh flowers and pink balloons is never a bad way to go, though.
Whether this decor is for a family brunch or a mom’s only dinner with drinks, a decorated dining room is a lovely way to elevate a meal and make it more special for mom.
Moms are used to scarfing down their food over a trash can while holding a baby in one arm so giving her a beautiful meal will truly say “thanks for the unconditional love, Mom!”
7. A Mom Themed Tiered Tray

I loved tiered trays for their versatility and ability to be used for any purpose. From beautiful flowers and foliage to a strawberry themed vignette, they can cater to all of your creative ideas.
This Mother’s Day, hijack mom’s tiered tray set up and make it all about celebrating her! Maybe decorate it with handwritten letters from the family, mom’s favorite candy and treats, or even jewelry, gift cards, and other small Mother’s Day gifts.
Of all the Mothers Day decoration ideas, a tiered tray for mom is the most easy to personalize to exactly her liking.
8. Painted Stone with Floral Designs

If the mom in your life is a lover of the outdoors (or at least a lover of outdoor decorating) a personalized painted stone might be the perfect decor for her.
I love this decor option because it can be used as decor for years to come. Painted stones make great decor on front porches, back patios, garden beds, or really anywhere outdoors that sees a lot of traffic.
How cute would it be if the whole family painted their own stone for mom then lined the front door step with them? I know that would certainly make me feel appreciated every time I came home and saw what my family made for me!
9. Origami Flower Bouquet

Not only are many of these Mothers Day decoration ideas great for family involvement, but they’re incredibly cheap and easy to pull off like this origami flower bouquet.
Give mom a break away from the kiddos with this project that will be sure to keep littles entertained for an afternoon.
Bonus points if each flower unfolds into a handwritten note saying how much each family member loves and appreciates mom!
10. Momma’s Special Day Mantel

The best kind of decor to celebrate someone in your life is the kind that you can surprise them with! I live for a morning decor reveal on birthdays and appreciation holidays like Mother’s Day.
Surprise mom in the morning by decorating a key focal point in your living room like a fireplace mantel the night before. The most important thing is that it has to be somewhere with visual appeal that can’t be missed!
Go the extra mile like the mantel in the photo above with crepe paper flowers, garlands, strings of led lights, and all kinds of party supplies to really knock her socks off!
11. Painted Wood Slice Ornament

Wood slice ornaments are such an easy project that will always look great in any home! Ornaments don’t only have to be for Christmas, they look great hung on door knobs and coat racks as well.
You can buy wood slice pieces like the one above at a very affordable price at most any craft store. All you need to finish them up is either paint or markers, and some kind of ribbon or twine to hang it with.
These are the kinds of Mothers Day decoration ideas that mom will pull out five, ten, twenty years from now and be filled with nostalgia for!
12. DIY Cardboard Banner

Create your own “Happy Mother’s Day” banner out of cardboard or stock paper to show your love for mom this year!
The message can say anything from “I love you, Mom” to “Thanks for Everything!”
Add it to your decorated mantel or place it right outside of her bedroom door in the morning so she starts the day right.
13. Delicious Dessert Table

If the mom you’re celebrating this year is anything like me, a dessert table is the absolute best decor and gift you could give her.
This is a great idea for a Mother’s Day brunch! Place the dessert table off to the side of the room and fill it with all kinds of beautiful cakes and pastries.
This time, mom gets first pick of everything and the kids will just have to wait for the leftovers!
14. Mother’s Day Celebration Tree

Making a celebration tree is easily one of my favorite Mothers Day decorating ideas because it gives you a place to display all Mother’s Day crafts from the past and present.
Every ornament, card, or little gift will look lovely on a rustic tree base and remind mom of all the heartfelt gifts that have been made for her.
Like a Christmas tree, you could totally leave this out for the whole month of May. I’m sure mom wouldn’t mind!
15. I Heart Mom Balloon Garland

I’m totally on board with the balloon letters trend. I find these to be so beautiful and great for family photos or photoshoots with mom friends.
It’s not often that mom gets a chance to be in the picture, so be sure to snap some great pictures of her with the family in front of these party balloons!
These can be found at any local party supplies store and come in all different shapes and colors.
16. Extra Special Mother’s Day Tablescape

The more you can personalize all of these Mothers Day decoration ideas, the more mom will be OBSESSED. Because even though we all joke about Mother’s Day being the one day we want a break, we all know that the day could never be truly cherished without the whole family being together.
I love this idea of using Polaroid photos as decor in your table settings to add a heartwarming touch.
If you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch for you and all your mom friends, try and use pictures of each mom’s children for their place cards!
17. Burlap Glass Vases

Talk about an adorable, easy, and affordable DIY project for Mother’s Day! Like I mentioned with tiered trays earlier, mason jars are another one of those decor staples loved for their versatility.
I love this idea because not only do these vases look great on their own, but they double as a gorgeous centerpiece that can be filled with fresh flowers and greenery.
This one doesn’t have to be confined to Mothers Day decoration ideas, but could be used any time of year throughout the home.
18. Homemade Gift With Clay

If you have a particularly crafty family, get everyone together to do some pottery this Mom’s Day!
One of the best ways to get the family involved in decorating for the holiday is to create crafts around the decorating that they’ll love doing every year.
Make pottery a Mother’s Day tradition in your house and you’ll start to form a collection of ceramics made from love.
19. Special Message Cookies

Depending on how creatively inclined you are, making personalized cookies for Mother’s Day could be a DIY project, or maybe better left to professionals.
Similar to cakes and dessert tables, the best decor is the kind you can eat and enjoy in more ways than one!
I know I would love nothing more than a plate of cute cookies for my decor!
20. Fairy Lights Letters

I can’t get enough of these big letter signs that light up. They just look so great with any event and scream go big or go home!
I saved these for last because they definitely are the hardest of the Mothers Day decoration ideas to pull off. But what a statement!
Save these for the event brunches and mom parties because these babies demand a large audience.
