When making the centerpieces
keep in mind that a touch of baby’s breath will not only
add to the beauty of the centerpiece but to the sentiment of
the shower.
Making a large bouquet using
pinks, blues, purples, greens, and other pastel colors for the
mom to be is a beautiful gift she can take home with her and
set in the nursery.
You can also make her a little
flower basket filled with baby items such as; baby lotion, body
wash, a few wash clothes and diaper rash cream. Use a round box
(like a deep hat box) cover the box with multi colored strips
of crepe paper. Just cut thin strips of the crepe paper and attach
them to the box with clear drying glue. Use any color you would
like inside the box to cover the cardboard. Decorate the outside
of the box with an assortment of colored flowers with or without
the stems.
Make a flower mobile to hang
above the baby’s crib. Of course this will just be a decoration
and will need to be removed once the baby is old enough to reach
it. It will certainly brighten up the nursery the first couple
of months.
You can also make handmade flowers
and attach them to a photo album for each guest to take home
and eventually put the baby’s first picture in. Making mom
a blank flowered scrapbook to put pictures in and write little
notes about the baby is another wonderful idea. This gift idea
is not only particle but thoughtful and the new mom will love
adding photos and notes to the scrapbook as her baby grows into
a toddler, child and eventually teenager! Just make sure you
get a book that is very large or one that pages can be added
to. Add a small stem less flower to each page. I recommend a
different color or alternating colors of pinks and purples for
girls and blues and greens for boys.
Handmade paper flowers for a
baby shower are not only thoughtful but make wonderful gifts
for the mom and the guests! |
