Baby Shower Presents

This is the stuff that I made for my sister for her baby shower. First is a wipe holder.
Just cutting and glueing.... I put batting under the material on either side.

My boys have always loved thier fuzzy blankets.... so I made one for little Craig too.

...And some doggie towels to match his bedroom. I think I am going to do a tutorial with pictures later on how to make hooded towels.

My mom and sister put together this diaper cake for the shower too.

Doesn't it look amazing?!

Baby Shower Flowers

My older sister and I threw my little sister a baby shower a couple weeks ago. For Party favors I made these flowers:
You can wear them in your hair or pinned on a shirt.

I also made headbands for the prizes for the games.

I need to make some more like this one because it was quite the hit. :)

I am not going to give tutorials for these because the first two are from a book called, "Fun to Wear Fabric Flowers." It has a lot of cute flowers in there. I bought it for myself for Christmas. :)

The Boys Room

My boys have a jungle room. They have had this theme since my almost 4 year old was born. I had some vines hanging up in their room for almost four years.... and the little guy recently informed me that the vines scare him at night. I fought it for a while, but I finally took them out for him. One of the walls in their room looked pretty bare so I wanted to put something up. Here is what I came up with.
I found those cute animals at Walmart for like 50 cents or something. Bought some little frames. Took out the glass and mod podged some scrapbook paper on a piece of cardboard.

Glued the animals on and...

Viola! It was really easy and fun. My boys really like them too. :)

Car Seat Cover

These weren't really popular when I had a baby in an infant carrier. I was always draping the blanket over the top.... and it would always fall off. My sister is having a baby in a month. She found this super cute material at Joanne's and wanted me to make one for her. I think it turned out pretty cute.
Obviously my little guy is much too big for an infant carrier.... (don't you love his messy face?)
The cover was super easy to make. Just get a yard of two different types of fabric. I rounded the edges so it wouldn't drag on the floor when it is set down. Sew the two pieces together and turn inside out. I sewed all around the outside once I turned it inside out just so it would look nice. I made some pretty long tabs... just for style. I am definately going to make one of these for my next kid (if I ever have another one). :)
