Here is another DIY I did for Mother’s Day. Surprise mom with some familiar faces on Mother’s Day with these baby masks. Chances are she’ll remember the faces that she spent so many hours awake with in the middle of the night! Kids will love this project and it’s really easy to do. See the instructions below! (A special thanks to the fantastic Hawaii-based photographer Natalie Norton for the photos.) The adorable pancake toppers are from Pretty Swell.
Step 1. Get a baby photo where the whole head is showing straight on. Blow it up in either a software program like photoshop or take them to a copy machine and enlarge them. Print them onto cardstock.
Step 2. Cut out the faces and glue it onto a wooden popsicle stick.
Step 3. Voila! Surprise mom with breakfast in bed wearing your baby face!

A lovely idea on Mother's Day. I hope to see my kids do this. But I guess, whatever my kids would come up to would be perfect.:-)

Very cute idea! I might print in color though the black & white kinda freaks me out. Am I the only one?

I LOVE the flowers in the pancake idea. It's one of those things that you would have to drop a heavy hint to the hubby about because my husband could NEVER think that kind of stuff up by himself (bless him) lol

Haha am I the only one who thinks this is kind of creepy? The masks remind me of the movie Brazil and all it's attendant creepiness.

No, not creepy! My husband did this with my kids on Sunday. I came out of the bathroom to find all three in my bed with the pics in front of their faces. It was freaking hilarious! I could not stop laughing, and then they couldn't stop. He also had them each write a sweet note on the back. Best Mother's day surprise EVER!! Do it for your husbands for fathers day!
