Use the label below to transform a regular bottle into something special to give your mom with breakfast. Wash out a glass or plastic bottle and peel off any labels. Cut out the label below and tape it around the bottle. Fill the bottle with your mother’s favorite drink, or use it as a vase to give her a Mother’s Day flower. (Tip: If you are using the bottle as a vase, put pebbles and water in the bottom to keep it from tipping.)

• If frozen waffles aren’t available, you can use toasted bread or tortillas.
