Baby Shower Crafts…

I’ve been meaning to post a few more pics detailing the crafts I made for my BFF’s baby shower. Two months later and I finally sat down and just cranked it out! So without further ado…here they are!
The corsage:
Lorie Shower 011
A different type of corsage…no {real} flowers…and loops of ribbon scraps from the diaper cake and other shower decorations.
Lorie Shower 015
Sweet little corsages for her Mom and Mee-Maw….
Lorie Shower 010
Lorie Shower 008
I knew that Lorie wanted a decorated portable wipey-thing-a-ma-bob so I again utilized the left over ribbon from the diaper cake and projects…hot-glued them in layers on the lid of the holder. I used a flower from my craft-pile…and believe it or not a flower jewel that came off of one of my shoes. I saved it because I knew it would be pretty on something someday! I hot-glued them together and viola!

Lorie’s shower was my first-ever party to decorate. I was soooo nervous! I had never made a diaper cake…much less anything else baby-shower related…but I dove in and started looking at my blog sistas creations. And thank goodness! I found a ton of ideas and started crafting!
I made personalized glass canisters for cookies and mints with canisters I had…and a few from the Dollar Tree. I decorated each one simply by gluing a few strips of ribbon and a few handmade flowers on. {Sorry some of these pics are blurry…I took them in a hurry…and didn’t realize some were blurry…oh the seven seas…I should pay attention some times}

After the shower, Lorie used the smaller bowls for Q-tips and other necessities in Mya’s room. Great idea! You can also take the ribbon off of the glass easily to re-use again without evidence that it had been decorated.
I used the shower invitation as another decoration focal point by the sign-in book.

The frame is a Dollar Tree frame that I jazzed up with a few handmade flowers. I also added a strip of ribbon and a background of scrap-book paper to prettify the invitation.
I also made an “M” initial frame for the cake table. I thought that Lorie could use it later as a decoration in Mya’s room.
I printed a letter “M” and layered it with some scrap-book paper and ribbon. I also made a few paper flowers to jazz up the frame. She really loved it!

My first ever diaper cake wasn’t too shabby which was such a relief. I didn’t have rubber bands which would have helped TREMENDOUSLY…but I made it anyways.

I made oven-curly-ribbons to decorate the top. I thought Lorie could take them off and make little clippy bows later for Miss Mya.

All of the ribbon can be re-used for girly stuff like bows and decor.

This is how the cake table looked as a whole.

It was really fun and I’ve re-used these decoration ideas for other things and for other decorating venues. They are super cute!!

I'm linking these to Mrs. Jamielyn's Sundae Scoop Weekend Link Party!

** I've had quite a few inquiries about how to make the paper flowers on the "M" frame. If you visit this cute blog {DOZI} you can find a perfect tutorial! Just a warning...these are so easy and stinkin' cute you will want to make them and put them on everything!

I am completely in love with the baby shower crafts. Each and everything has a personal touch which I liked a lot. At some local San Francisco wedding venues my cousin will have a Disney themed wedding so I think these baby shower décor ideas would be perfect for her bridal shower. Will surely use these.
