Girly Baby Shower Gift



Here is the little gift I put together for my cousins new little baby girl.

Here is what you need:

...wait, did I mention this gift is also very budget friendly? Not only do I love all things frugal, I get invited to a baby show every other week so if these items were all expensive, I would be in the poor house!

Pictured above is:
-A small plastic crate ($1 from Dollar Tree)
- Bows (I make these all the time and keep them on hand)
- Ribbon & Tule (for the crate)
- Stretchy lace (to make all the bows into infant headbands)
- A covered wipee case (Again, something I make often and keep on hand. Tutorial found HERE)
- Several little girl outfits- Don't let this fool you into thinking you have to drop a ton of money on this! I bought all 5 of these outfits last week on clearance at Target. They were priced at $1.87 or $2.49 each!!! Keep your eyes out for good deals then stock up!

So I took all these fun items...


...rolled the outfits up and wrapped a matching headband and bow around each one...



...wrote a small note to baby Jenna...



...and stuck it in the front of the crate (which I weaved with ribbon and embellished with her name in pink vinyl...




...I stuffed the crate with all the goodies...



... tied it up with some Tule...



...and that's it!




Super simple, and super cute!

  3. It's so nice to know you don't have to have a box, wrapping paper and ribbon to give a gift. I love this creative idea and not only for baby gifts.

  7. What a great idea. I may have to do something like this for my sisters new baby. I never would have thought about vinyl but that's so easy and it looks great!
