Baby Shower Crafts
Baby shower crafts are a fun and interesting thing to do at your next baby shower. Making crafts allows the baby shower guests to use their own creativity and have a great time teasing about each others "great craft design".
A great baby shower craft idea is to personalize baby gifts for the new mommy and baby. This can involve getting various baby gifts such as blankets or bibs and allowing the guests to personalize each item with their own special message. You can use markers, fabric pens, puffy paint, and even embroidery if you want to get fancy. Most of the supplies can be picked up relatively cheap at your local craft store.
Another baby shower craft idea would be to buy just one item and have everyone at the shower decorate a small part of it. This can include signing it with a personalized message, or adding any type of memorable addition to the gift.
When it comes to making baby shower crafts, the only limitations are your time & budget. In most cases, you can have a fun craft project going for well under $100. Some people prefer to have these craft making baby showers as opposed to playing baby shower games. It all depends on your personal style and what you think the other guests would enjoy.
Another unique baby shower craft idea is to have each guest write a special poem or words of wisdom for the new baby in a scrapbook. Then when the baby gets older, she can read this timeless gift and have something that will last a lifetime.
Sure, those trendy baby gifts are cute, but they get old just as fast. With a baby shower craft, the gift means so much more, not just to the mommy, but also the new baby once they get older.
Here's another idea for you. How about using a polaroid camera and taking a quick picture of each guess. Then put each photo in a photo album on a separate page, and have each guest decorate their own page. You can even take photos of the baby shower decorations, baby cake, some of the cute gifts (see: diaper cakes) and the invitations. All of these pictures combined will make a beautiful collage.
This can also be done with a disposable camera and a one hour photo developing center if you want better pictures that last longer for your baby shower craft project. It's a good idea to take many photos anyway, especially since so the new mommy can look back and remember all the fun she had. The day of the shower can seem like such a blur with all the guests coming and going, the gifts, the food, the games, the crafts. Sometimes it's just hard to take it all in.
Hopefully these craft ideas help you come up with something unique to do at your next baby shower. I'll try to post more ideas here shortly...
