So with another set of multiples on the way I've tried hard not to buy any "nonsense" items. This time around I'm going to be practical, but a part of me still wants all those cute, expensive, must have baby items in the boutiques around town.
I rarely have an original craft pop into my head, but rather love to Copy other great ideas at half the cost. For instance, these adorable burp clothes! 4 for $20 in any fancy boutique, but you can make 10 for around $10. These are great gifts for a Mom-to-be whether she's a first timer or on her fifth. It's always nice to get something new! We are blessed to be in a ward with young and expanding families, and these make inexpensive gifts that say your thinking of her and yet very practical.
You'll need:
1 package of plain white cloth hemmed diapers (Walmart-12 pack for $10)
12 assorted ribbons
sewing machine and coordinating thread
Just measure the diaper seems down the middle and cut ribbon 1 inch longer so you can tuck the ends under. Sew Ribbon onto diaper down the two middle seems. If you have extra fabric laying around, make a center piece for the diaper. And you're done! Easy
