Arts and crafts are a great way to create fun and excitement, and to strengthen bonds between participants . A lot of women, and even men, enjoy spending time together while partaking in enjoyable activities like arts and crafts. Nowadays, there are several newborn-related designs that are a blast and will create a great time for your participants at the party .
One of the newest activities for baby showers is the designing of a baby diaper cake. This is a group affair that all your participants can do together. It is a great way to start the party , as it makes a mood of togetherness and establishes unity among all your participants . For this project, you will need around fifty diapers, fifty feet of a smaller, narrow ribbon, and eight feet of a thicker, wide ribbon. Trim the fifty feet of thin ribbon into one-foot segments. Have your participants roll up each diaper and tie it in place with a thin piece of ribbon. Ribbon can be baby blue for a boy, and pink for a girl. For a more neutral color, soft green or light yellow work fabulously . Start the base of your diaper cake with twenty-five diapers; stand them together in a circle. Utilize fifteen diapers for the next level of the “cake,” and then eight diapers for the top level of your cake. Prepare each level separately and tie each batch of diapers, or each level of the cake, with a strand of wide ribbon. Now, load the levels of the baby diaper cake in order from largest to smallest, and you should have a fabulous newborn baby idea!
Baby bottle sand art is a fun craft that renders fabulous souvenirs that your participants can take home. All you require for this affair is at least the same amount of newborn bottles as your number of participants , alternative colors of sand, and funnels. Baby bottles can be the simple, cheap ones, and the sand should match your color palette for the baby shower. Hand out the newborn bottles among all your participants . Have them fill the newborn bottles up with several layers of alternative color sand using the funnels, and then close the newborn bottles with their tops. These turn out beautifully , and they are easy to create ; they also create great party favors from which your participants can always keep in mind your baby shower. For a special touch, you can have ribbon that has been personalized with the Mom’s name and the date of the shower, which is a twist on the newborn gift idea that is actually created by the participants at the shower. You can also have stickers made with the title of the festivity and the date, and stick them on the newborn bottles.
