DIY Baby Gift Set

Editing to participate!

Practice makes perfect. I originally made some bibs/burp cloths for my soon-to-arrive nephew. See the boy patterns I chose & DIY tutorial HERE. I had the opportunity to make some more for a baby girl. I love Michael Miller fabrics and they turned out so cute! Great gift idea!

This one is my favorite (damask/houndstooth). Front Side:

Back side is made from a hand towel
Burp cloth is made using cloth diaper
and
sewing a strip of pretty fabric down the middlewild peace:

flower power:


Tie with ribbon

They’re so easy to sew. I made 3 sets in just a few hours.
The mother-to-be loved them.
No two alike…no trip to the store to return doubles.

Great Christmas gift too!

Coming soon – in order to fix the feed, the DIY Show Off will soon have a new look. Unsuccessful attempts have pushed me to switch to my own domain. Thanks for your patience and sticking with it while I work out the bugs. 🙂

Pretty Monogram Accent

Posted on by

This is a quick pretty home accent or gift idea.

Materials:

Wooden Letter (Joanns on sale)
Scrapbook paper (1 sheet did 2 letters and could do more)
Mod Podge
Lacquer

Sorry, I dropped the ball on pictures for a tutorial but it’s self explanatory/easy.

Instructions:

I traced my letters onto a piece of scrapbook paper (mine was a cutout type design).
Apply Mod Podge to letter. Apply Mod Podge to back of paper. Apply paper to letter. Let dry.
Apply a coat of Mod Podge all over the top of the letter and let dry.
I will spray with a coat of matte lacquer for protection.

Really simple, pretty and made with love. What do you think?
