Baby Crafts
Apr 28th
I have been doing a few more baby crafts right now as the I wait for the baby to come.
Bows
I already posted on the bows I’ve been making. I am still making bows just not as much. I fill like I have significantly increased my ribbon collection so if anyone wants to make bows with me just let me know.
Bow hanger
I made this bow hanger! It is an S for Sarah. Here is how I did it. First, I bought the S. I panted it a sparkly espresso (mostly for the sides). Then I use Mod Podge to put the scrapbooking paper on it. Then I used the Mod Podge to glue ribbon around the edges of the letter. I hot glued the ribbons on for bow attachment. Jared but a back on it so I can hang it up and I was done.
Baby Bracelets
I’ve made a few baby brackets. They were more popular a few years ago but I though I would bring them back into style since they were so cute. I don’t know if I made them the right size or not though. I know the first one I made was way too big because it ended up fitting my wrist. Does anyone know how big a baby’s wrist is? Anyway, here is my other craft.
Diaper Case
I can safely say that I failed this project. I do think that the finished product looks cute but it is not practical. It only fits two newborn diapers. I admit I didn’t really follow the directions so I most likely had more seams which leads to less space. To give credit were credit is due I used the instructions at this web address:

I do feel if I had actually followed the directions I would have a much better result. I think I will try this one again and maybe leave an extra half an inch just in case and read the instructions.
Diaper wipe case
I made this diaper wipes case. This one is also going to be a redo. I was really trying to make it so that the top thing would work and it does but not that wonderfully anymore. I just thought I would share my first attempt. I got the instructions for this craft at this web address: http://www.make-your-own-baby-stuff.com/baby-wipes.html
So, those are the main baby crafts that I have been working on. If anyone has a good idea for another one that doesn’t require to much skill let me know. Hope you enjoyed my crafts!
Bows
Mar 22nd
So, I am not amazingly crafty, but I pretend to be every once in a while. While my Mom was in town we got a lot of ribbon (I also had her bring up some of the ribbon she doesn’t use. THANKS MOM) and we made bows for my baby. I’m sure I ended up spending more money on ribbon then I would have it I just bought the bows. Oh well. I think a lot of them turned out cute. I am still going to make some more and it has been pretty fun to just get out my ribbon and make bows. Here are the bows I have. (I made most of them, my mom also made some, and then there is one I bought, and one that I was given)
Dinner Crafts
Jul 17th
My Mom gave me a sewing machine for graduation and also took me to Joan’s to get fabric. So my first masterpiece with my new sewing machine was place mats and cloth napkins. It was easy but time consuming. Here is my finish product. Except most of the place mats the strips go horizontal not vertical. We also went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and got really cute napkin rings for it. Fun!


Now all we need to have friends over for dinner!
