Baby Shower Tree

I had a baby shower for a friend before I could take my Christmas tree down. I just took off the decorations and replaced them with ribbons, booties, bottles, socks, pacifiers, and a big fluffy bow, in baby colors draped from the top down the sides.

Also, paint clothes pins or use diaper pins and the guests can pin on money.
It was such a fun idea and was raved over.

(image source: Stylish Eve) - I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the tree I made, so I found one similar to show you.

Baby Diaper Tool Kit

Submitted by Kim from New York

Here is a great twist for a "Baby Diaper Tool Kit"

Instead of a diaper belt for the new father to be, I used a cheap tool box and filled it with the baby stuff. (wipes, diapers, lotion, baby oil, socks, baby brush, diaper rash ointment, etc.)

This way they can re-use the tool box instead of an apron which was brought to my attention they would just throw in a corner.

I didn't take a picture of the diaper tool kit, but found one similar to the one I made - I found it on Pinterest but the link didn't go to a website, so I am not sure of the source.

Diaper Butterflies

Submitted by Wendy from Sumter, SC

To make my diaper butterflies, I first take one diaper (I usually use size one but have had requests for larger ones and did those as well), a baby washcloth, some tulle, and a chenille stem. 

I roll the baby washcloth up with the stem folded in half sticking out the top of the washcloth, and then I take four small pieces of ribbon and tie them around the washcloth to keep it secure, and take a long piece of ribbon to tie around the diaper to keep the washcloth (the butterfly's 'body') in place. 

The tulle is simply tucked underneath the washcloth 'body', and no glue or tape is used, this way the new Mom can use both the diaper and the washcloth!

When done attaching everything, I just bend the chenille stem to look like antenna and it's all done.

How To Make A Washcloth Cupcake

I came across this YouTube video that explains how to make a beautiful washcloth cupcakes - and her instructions are pretty detailed - it looks easy to do!

It would look even cuter if you added a red pom pom for the cherry and used the new fancy cupcake liners they have available now.

Mint Book Party Favors

Submitted by Heather S from Valley, AL

Mint Books in Mason Jar

I made mint books using and excel and card stock.

The card stock is thick enough to support the weight of the mint and hold the bend.

I used clip art for the picture on the front and typed a little thank you message on the back.

The top has the date of the shower and the bottom flap has the baby's name on it.

On the inside is a individually wrapped livesaver mint secured with a staple.

You could use sticky dots, but I've found that if you use the staple at the bottom it helps hold the flap secure.

I prefer the sweet mint flavor because it tastes good and smells good too.

You could use any flavor or color you want to coordinate with your theme.

To hold the mint books I founds some quart sized mason jars and painted polka dots on them using the shower theme colors. Then i decorated with curling ribbon.

The paint comes off of the glass fairly easily to mistakes can be corrected and the jars can be re-used.

Firecracker Baby Shower Favors

baby shower craft idea

This is a cute idea for baby shower favors!
Simply collect several empty toilet paper rolls (or paper towel rolls cut in half) and fill them with colorful candies. 

Then wrap them in cute scrapbook paper (to match the theme of the shower.) Tie the ends with ribbon and you're done! You can even attach a cute little tag saying thanks or giving the shower details.

Baby Advice Book

Submitted by Taylor from Aurora, Illinois

New Baby Advice Book

Before the shower, go to the craft store and buy a scrapbook, or some type of book that you can decorate with pretty paper. (Target, HomeGoods, etc will have pretty journal-type books that would be perfect for this.)

Throughout the shower, pass the book around the room and have the guests write down congratulations, old memories and baby advice on the best ways to help with the baby. 

Give to the mom and have her read all of the pages out loud. Fun to hear everybody's advice.

- Craft paint in the colors of Baby Shower
- Small floss ribbon 1/8th inch in coordinating colors
- Small paint brushes
- Small magnets
- Super Glue or Hot Glue Gun

Paint each clothes pin in a base color that matches the Baby Shower once dry then paint polka dots, swirls, zig-zags, whatever you wish in a different color.

Once dry take the coordinating ribbon and tie bows around each clothes pin right above the spring you can also use small plastic pacifiers or saftey pins on them or print out a small note that says "Baby" and polk a whole through the end of the paper or use hole in plastic pacifiers or saftey pins to thread the ribbon through it then tie a bow.

Once you've tied the bows flip the clothes pin over and hot glue or super glue one magnet to the back of the pin. 

At the shower play the game, "Dont Say The Word Baby" using clothes pins each person gets one to start, if they say "Baby" and someone hears, the person that heard gets there clothes pin the person with the most clothes pins at the end of shower wins. 

- After the game is over and the winner is announced have everyone give there clothes pins back to the person they got them from.
