EASY BABY SHOWER PRESENT IDEAS

So I have had the honor of being able to attend THREE baby showers so far this year!! THREE!! yes all my friends are prego!! LOL.  if you are like me you love making homemade gifts instead of buying, especially if it is for a really close friend! (now i do get some things from registry but most i like to be handmade or personalized).
 ok here's some things I have done



EASY CHEESY BANNER MADE FROM SCRAP BOOK PAPER, RIBBON, AND CARDBOARD STICKER LETTERS. So easy and only about 2 dollars- or free if you already have supplies. You could also use stencils.
 OKAY this is memory/picture board. Supplies- board, fabric, padding, corkboard, ribbon, stencil, or iron on letters, and tacks, hot glue gun and STAPLE GUN! (MY NEW BEST FRIEND)

The onsie I DID NOT MAKE- BUT the tutu and the hair bow i did. directions below. I did give hounds tooth ribbon to my friend who is an excellent sewer!!!

Tutus make GREAT decorations for a girls shower and also so fun for ilttle girls to wear.  You a yard of tulle of color choice, fold in half then roll up, after you roll it up, cut into one inch pieces(this creates strips) then take ribbon or you can use elastic (sew the ends together) for the waist leave some ribbon on the ends to tie a bow after you are done and tie the strips to ribbon or elasctic. 

Take a simple basket, find letters of choice (i used ones for scrap booking and hot glued them to the front)
These are just some, I have done.  I hope this helped you with any ideas for a baby shower gift!! and you get to craftin it up!! PS: you do NOT have to be crafty to do any of these!!
