Quick Baby Shower Gift

Are you in a predicament and need a quick

baby shower gift?

Our twin Grandbabies decided to arrive 5 weeks early.

So yeah, I needed a quick gift.

I always like to take a gift into the hospital with me.

When our 1st Grand Son was born, I created a bouquet

of flowers using diapers.

This time around, I created 2 wreaths using newborn diapers.

If you can tie a knot, you can make these.

What new Mom couldn't use a few more diapers?

I used 3 different colored 2 1/2 inch wide wired ribbons

and sporadically tied them around the wreath.

This is a view of the back.

Want to make one?

Start with these supplies.

Open the diaper and place onto the wreath form.

Cut a piece of ribbon, or string, and tie the diaper together.

Continue adding the diapers until the wreath form is completely covered.

I added 20 newborn diapers to an 18 inch wreath form.

You can stop here and add a bow and call it done,

or you can dress it up a little more like I did.

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture at this point.

I created a flower using my Silhouette Cameo machine

and attached the flower to a colorful paper straw.

Lastly, I created a big bow for each wreath

and attached them to the wreath form with pipe cleaners.

It took me about 1 hour to complete each wreath.

Our DIL thought they were super cute.

Not only are they a super cute idea, they're practical too.

Time to go and snuggle the Grandbabies.

That's it for this week.

Until Next Time,

Veronica
