Looking for a super sweet, one-of-a-kind gift for Mom this Mother's Day? Here’s a fun idea that combines a little tech, a little creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
With just a few simple tools—including your phone, a free AI tool, and a 3D printing pen—you can turn a photo of your mom into a cute 3D-style character and frame it in your own custom design.
🎨 What You’ll Need:
- A photo of your mom (a clear portrait works best)
- ChatGPT or another AI tool to help with prompts
- Gemini (or another AI image generator like Bing Image Creator)
- A printer (optional)
- A transparent phone case or any clear backing (optional)
- A 3D printing pen (like the Uni3D Pen from unicornglasgow.com , we used Uni3D StD)
- Some PLA filament in your favorite colors
- Scissors (to trim prints or filament)
🛠 Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Turn a photo into a 3D-style character
Upload a photo of your mom and ask ChatGPT something like:
“Can you give me a detailed prompt to turn this into a 3D-style IP animation character?”
Copy the description and paste it into Gemini or another AI image tool.
Choose your favorite result and print it out!
2. Stick it on a backing (optional)
Tape the printed image behind a clear phone case—or use any sturdy surface as your base.
3. Create your custom frame with a 3D pen
Use your 3D pen to draw a cute frame around the character.
Add fun decorations—flowers, hearts, stars, or even a mini message like “Love You Mom!”
Get creative—there’s no wrong way to do it!
4. Add a back stand
Make a simple triangular stand with your 3D pen so the frame can stand on a desk or shelf.
💡 Why Moms Love It:
Because it’s thoughtful. Because it’s handmade. Because it’s HER—turned into an adorable little cartoon character. 💖
