Baby Showers
Dated : June 02,
Subject: Baby Showers
I take baskets with handles and cover them
with batting and cloth in the colors of the
baby's decor.
Then I buy a teddy bear and
dress it in a T-shirt, diaper, socks-any kind
of new-born clothing.
Then I take one of
those towels with the hood and drape it over
one of the bear's ears.
The rest of the basket
I fill with baby bottle, rattle, baby powder,
pacifier, etc. Runs about $35 for the entire
gift. The basket can be used for the diaper
changing supplies and later converted to
hold small toys.
Also, I have seen clear 2-liter bottles split
vertically in the back and stuffed with baby
items. Somehow, a nipple is attached to the
top of the bottle and ribbon and streamers
tied around the neck. It resembles a giant
baby bottle when through.
You can also make a giant bassinet out of
plastic canvas and fill it with flowers and
make smaller ones for the party favors. You
can get the kit from:
