Homemade Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Homemade baby shower favors are the perfect way to thank your guests for joining in your celebration. A favor is meant to be a small gift of appreciation for your guests. There are many beautiful ready-made items to choose from but shower gifts that you made yourself show your guests your appreciation for their thoughtfulness. It doesn't take a lot of money or time to give your guests a special keepsake that they can enjoy.

When choosing baby shower favors you should consider the following:


What type of shower you are planning - formal or casual?
Is there is a theme, such as teddy bears or butterflies? You can match the favors to the theme.
Do all the guests have a common interest, such as cooking or gardening? Use that interest for baby shower favors.
Consider how much you want to spend before you start your project.

Here are a few ideas that are easy to prepare:


Gift Baskets - Buy inexpensive small decorative baskets, add a layer of brightly colored shred to the bottom, and fill with bath soaps, coffee and tea, or candles and potpourri. Wrap with tulle or cellophane and tie with decorative ribbon.
Decorative Favor Boxes - fill with homemade candies, cookies, or mints. Many varieties of favor boxes themed for baby showers are available at craft or party supply stores.
Candles wrapped in tulle, tied with decorative ribbon and a themed charm such as a pacifier or a safety pin.

You can add a special touch to the favors with personalized tags. Several companies online offer inexpensive gift tags that can be personalized with the date and mom or baby's name.

Even if you do not have the time to make homemade favors you can still give your guests a meaningful and fun gift. There are many cute and unique varieties of favors to fit just about any party theme that are available online and from party supply stores.

Whether you choose to make your own baby shower favors or buy ready-made ones your guests will be thankful for these small tokens of appreciation.

Keepsake Christmas Ornament Box

I love handmade Christmas ornaments. Throughout the years I have
collected a number of them, made by myself and several family
members. These ornaments will make great keepsakes for our
children and grandchildren.

I have been looking for a creative way to store these keepsake
ornaments. In the past I have stored them with all my other tree
ornaments, but I wanted a special place to store them, especially
my daughter's ornaments that we have been collecting for her
throughout the years. After purchasing about $20 in supplies and
spending a couple of hours working on the project, I ended up
with a beautiful keepsake ornament box that I hope my daughter
will cherish for years to come.

To complete this project, you will need:

- Unfinished wooden box with lid

- Modge Podge (for decoupaging)

- Christmas cards

- Scissors

- Paint brushes

- Craft paint (optional)

- Acrylic sealer/finisher spray

All of the above items can be purchased at a craft store. The
craft store I went to had a variety of boxes to choose from. I
chose a small box that was $12.99. It was just what I was
looking for!

The box I chose has a raised border around the edges that looked
like it would be difficult to work around with decoupaging, so I
chose to paint it instead. I painted all the borders with
several coats of red acrylic paint.

Next I went through a big pile of old Christmas cards to find
suitable images to decoupage onto the box. This was the fun
part! Not only can you cut out pictures, you can also cut out
holiday sentiments from friends and family members. Just in the
past couple of years, several members of our extended family have
passed away, and projects such as this keepsake ornament box are
a great way to remember lost loved ones. Cut the cards into a
variety of sizes and shapes.

Using a paintbrush, apply Modge Podge or a similar decoupage
medium to the back of your cut out, then place the cut out on the
box. Paint a coating of Modge Podge over the cut out. Continue
pasting cut outs to the side of the box until it is covered, then
go over the entire side again with another coating of Modge
Podge. After the box is completely dry, you can apply another
coating for good measure.

After the box is complete (and dry), you can spray an acrylic
sealer/finisher spray over the entire box to protect the artwork
and eliminate the tackiness of the decoupage.

That's it! There is no limit to the possibilities of decorating
this beautiful ornament box. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan
to line the inside of the box with felt to give it a more
finished look.
