Baby Crafts

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

Bows

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)
