DIY Baby Gifts

8 Flares 8 Flares ×

This month baby showers are on my mind big time. I have a new niece on the way and many friends with babies due in early spring. I’ve been a little disappointed in the baby shower gift registries because the items on those lists always seem so boring and impersonal. So, I got to thinking, what if I made some of my own baby gifts to add to those ordinary practical baby must haves – diapers, bottles, onesies, etc. Here are some really cute ideas I found to inspire my baby shower presents.

For those of you who are handy and skilled with pallets, this DIY Pallet Moon Cradle is a real treasure. I would love to build my own nursery around a cradle like this one.

These baby mittens are darling and they would look so cute in a baby shower basket or worn by a stuffed animal. Also, they’re so small, you could certainly re-use scraps of favorite old baby clothes or leftover material from larger sewing projects.
