I love any excuse to make something. Holidays, birthdays and special occasions like a baby shower. I am one of those people that don't follow a registry. I use it as a guide for color schemes mostly. A friend of mine is expecting another little girl soon and is using pink & brown to decorate her girls' room. She has made several things for the room already and it's super cute so I thought I'd make a couple things she could use in there.
The first thing I knew I wanted to make was this wipes case band. I saw this tutorial at Less Cake More Frosting recently and have been waiting for an excuse to make one. {I'll be making one for my own wipes case soon too} Her directions were great and the project was a pretty quick one. My band isn't as wide because my store didn't have 3" wide elastic but the 1.5 still worked.
I also covered a travel wipes case for her. My BFF made one for me when I had Delilah and I love it. I used this tutorial as a guide. The store I bought the wipes at didn't have the simple lid. If your only option is this style of lid I would drive to another store to find the simple one. This one works but took much longer and I don't like the gap in the middle.
Lastly I personalized shirts for her girls using freezer paper and my Cricut. I love love love freezer paper stenciling but really dislike using my exacto knife to cut letters. Mostly because I am impatient, often rush and they don't come out very nice. Using the low pressure setting on my Cricut the freezer paper cut smoothly & quickly.
I added a couple of bows and voila! Thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteSUPER cute gifts!! I've never seen the wipee case band before, I think I'll make one of those for my next baby shower gift! Those shirts are just ADORABLE, I'm TOTALLY using the cricut for FPS next time!
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! I just learned how to do FPS. I've had a cricut machine for years and never thought to learn! The bird onesie is my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteCute tees!!! I love the little bows you added too. I haven't tried freezer paper myself, but I can imagine how it could be tricky.
