Crafts for Baby Shower Decorating
Planning a baby shower? Baby showers are a great opportunity for artistic people
to make their own decorations and gifts. Here are some fine ideas for baby shower
crafts:
1) Baby shower gift baskets - Gift baskets are a great baby shower centerpiece
or gift. Many of the items in the basket can be handcrafted. Some ideas include
candles, soap, ceramic figurines, and personalized jelly jars.
2) Diaper cakes - A diaper cake is an easy to make gift or centerpiece for
a baby shower. This is a great gift idea for the person hosting and planning
the shower. Basically, get a lot of diapers and attach them together with pins
or glue. You can use towels or blankets to wrap around the outside of each layer
and add a teddy bear or other centerpiece on top of the diaper cake. The new
mother will have plenty of diapers and gifts she can use from the diaper cake
and it looks great as a centerpiece too.
3) Baby Bottle centerpiece - A large baby bottle centerpiece is a great idea
for baby showers. The bottle can be filled with candy, nuts, and other treats
for your guests. The bottle can be made of clay or ceramics and hardened in
an oven. It can then be painted and glazed. You can also purchase plastic bottle
centerpieces and then use artwork to design a personalized label.
4) Baby shower candles - Another fine idea for baby shower crafts is making
themed candles. A simple way to do this is get some cookie cutters or molds
shaped in baby themed items, like rubber ducks or teddy bears. Instead of
cookie
batter, fill the molds with hot wax and insert wick. The candles can also be
painted and make great decorations for the dinner table.
5) Banners and streamers - You can design your own banners and streamers for
baby showers. With a graphics program on your computer, play around with different
colors and fonts to see which ones look best. You can save your artwork to disk
and take it to your local printer to have them print out full size banners.
For an added touch, attach pacifiers or mini pacifiers to the banners when you
hang them around the walls.
There are so many great ideas for making your own baby shower decorations and
gifts. With just a little time and effort, you can make your baby shower a memorable
occasion.
