Mother’s Day is all about love, appreciation and remembering the special little moments between a mother and her children. What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with something from the heart that was created with love? After all, the coolest Mother’s Day gift is something hand crafted by your little ones.
This Mother’s Day, skip the gifts bought from the store and plan a DIY craft day with your kids. This way you can spend one-on-one time with each of them creating something fun and one-of-a-kind like a fake cake picture frame.
This DIY craft will be the best Mother’s Day gift idea of 2025! The fake cake picture frame with decoden cream and charms is a great DIY craft for kids, where they can show personality, creating their own little masterpiece for mom. It’s also super simple to recreate and will keep your kids entertained for hours. Here is the step-by-step tutorial as well as the best products and supplies to use.
Supplies Needed:
- Picture Frames
- Decoden Cream
- Resin Charms
- Sprinkles
- Spray Paint
- Print Picture
Step 1:
Take your wooden frame and spray paint it with the chalk paint color of your choice. You can obviously use whatever kind of spray paint you want. I just like the powdered look that the chalk gives the frame and it dries super quick.
Step 2:
Once the frame has dried, take your decoden cream and start designing your frame. Some of the decoden cream brands aren’t as soft, which makes it hard for the kids to squeeze out. I’ve linked the one I found easiest to use above under the supplies heading.



Step 3:
Now the fun part! Pick out your favorite charms and sprinkles and begin to decorate the frame. We used resin charms, stars, cherries, sprinkles and even some charms they use for nail art.
