Gift baskets are one of my favorite things to make. I'll make them for baby showers, birthdays, holidays and even weddings.
This project was for a friends baby shower, she was having a little girl and I already knew that every gift was going to be covered in PINK. So I wanted a more gender neutral gift, for boys and girls. Sesame Street seemed like a no-brainer, everyone loves Sesame Street. So I started with the basics: Toys, books, wipes, diapers, and a baby take along pack.
Started with:
Red fabric for Elmo's Crayons Box (take along pack), accessorized with crayons, ribbon and 3D scrapbook stickers.
Blue fabric for Cookie Monster's Cookie Box (diapers), accessorized with ribbon and 3D scrapbook stickers w/ mini cookies.
Yellow fabric for Big Bird's Bird Seed (baby wipes), accessorized with ribbon and 3D scrapbook
Green ultra soft blanket fabric for Oscar the Grouch's Blanket w/ ribbon.
Once all the wrapping and accessorizing was done it was time to put it all together and wait for the baby shower. The basket was a big hit and made all the uber pinkness seem less overwhelming.
Too cute!
ReplyDeleteyou are so creative it kills me. you should think about opening a business where people place order for you to make their gift. or simply wrap them... m sure would boom! not all of us are so talented.
