I threw a baby shower for my friend B the other week. And while I didn’t get as crafty as I would have liked, I did make a couple new things.

I made this diaper cake ->

(No, I did not make the cute stuffed owls on top. They are from an etsy store – unpetitelapin)

I was not in love with the diaper cake. But it was first. Perhaps my last? But it was cute and the diapers are useable (more important than cuteness, if you ask me). Especially when the shower guest of honor is having TWINS. Yes, B will need as many diapers as she can get from people.

I also strung up some banners that doubled as a shower gift – buying clothes, bibs and little stroller toys to hang up with clothespins, mixed up with some paper pennants that I made. There were about 3 different banners strung up in the dining and living rooms.

(The clothespins were decorated with scrapbook paper and decoupaged on…the colors were blues and greens. While I know how to do this, I didn’t have the time to make these. So I got them from another etsy shop -gigglesapu).

We played a couple games but I’m not a fan of game after game after game after game at a shower.  No thanks. Two games – quick ones – and we were done.

So instead, if peeps were feeling crafty, I set up the kitchen island with blank bibs and fabric paints. And I wanted to make sure that the twins’ big sister wasn’t left out – so I had a shirt for peeps to design for her as well. Some guests came up with some really cute designs!
