Baby Shower 

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !

Craft Ideas for your next baby shower.
Banners, Poms, Pinwheels and Mobiles

Mobiles
These are not intended for over the crib.  Would be a perfect accent piece for the baby room, maybe over the changing table (some place where you don't leave your baby unattended).  

Supplies needed 
  1. round hoop (wire, wood...anything round)
  2. felt pieces (cut or pre-cut in packages at the craft store)
  3. pom pom balls
  4. clear thread or fishing line
  5. ribbon
  6. fabric to wrap your hoop
  7. hot glue gun
  8. fray check
How to:
  • Wrap your hoop with 1 inch torn fabric.  Continue wrapping until the entire hoop is covered.
  • Thread a needle with your clear thread.  Sew into the balls, felt pieces until secure.  Leave enough thread on the end to tie on the hoop after all is threaded and secure.  
  • Attach all threaded embellished threads to hoop.  
  • Tie ribbons and seal ends with Fray Check (so they don't unravel)
I picked colors that coordinated with the baby bedding.  Unique, adorable gift.  


        Banners                                            
Supplies: fabric, trim and a sewing machine
Pom Poms...so easy!  Hang from the ceiling with clear thread.  They look like they are floating.  Easy instructions on You Tube.
