 If you are no good at hair then it might be best to be honest with your boyfriend's mum and tell her that you are not great with hair - honesty is better than trying to do her hair and making a mess of things, then she will be really unhappy at the wedding and will blame you!
She might be a bit disappointed that you wont do her hair but to make up for it - why not suggest you go for a manicure together (you can get a simple manicure and a nail colour applied for around £10-£15, so maybe you could even treat her to a manicure instead of doing her hair?). Or suggest you go to a spa together for a day, or even go to a hairdressers together and both get your hair done, and you could buy her a hair mag so you can pick out a style together.
By the sounds of things if she has short hair it will be hard for you to curl it and put it into an up-do, especially if you are not confident with it. So if I were you I would be honest with her and say that you are really sorry but you dont feel confident enough to do her hair because you are not great at it, but to make up for it how about we do xxxxxx?
Or failing that, maybe look through some hair mags, pick out a style that you think will work and practice doing it on yourself, then have a "trial run" on his mum before the wedding, so you at least have some idea what you are doing and wont ruin her whole day if it goes wrong on the day of the wedding!
I hope this helps and good luck!

 Tell her no. Or, tell her you are not good with hair and that it will be on her own risk. Then get a hold of pictures of styles she likes and try to copy it.
If she wants it curled and up I suggest you get a hold of a curler and a bunch of hair pins and hairmousse and spray.
Good luck!!
ps. I'd just say no if I was you
