Newborn baby crafts are sentimental items that are given as gifts for the new bundle of joy in your life. Whether the gift is for a family member or friend, the parents of the child are sure to appreciate a hand-made gift by you. Crafts from the heart such as crochet booties, scrap books and cards are ideal gifts for a new baby.
Baby Bracelets
Baby bracelets are sweet crafts that are given as precious keepsake gifts for new parents. To make this craft you need a few specialty items at the craft store such as 8 inch tiger tail wire, colorful beads and white alphabet beads. Other materials needed are silver crimp tubes and a silver crimp enclosure for the bracelet clasp.
Spell the new baby's name with the white alphabet beads first and leave these beads in the center of the bracelet. Then run the colored beads through the wire on both sides. You can choose blue beads for a boy or pink beads for a girl, but you can also mix things up a bit and use both blue and pink or green beads. Attach the wire end to the closure and crimp tube. Simply run the wire through the hole and tie off.
Baby Sock Rose Centerpiece
The baby sock rose bouquet is sure to turn a few heads at the baby shower. To make this craft you will need dozens of baby socks in various colors such as red, blue, white or pink. You will also need a large vase, floral wire, floral tape along with silk greenery and baby's breath. Other materials are essential such as wire cutters and double-sided tape.
To make this craft simply roll the socks tightly to make a rose bud and use the double-sided tape to hold the bud together. Then you cut the wire and push it through the bottom of the rose bud. Then you need to stretch the floral tape and wrap it tightly around the bottom of the sock and stem to secure it in place. All you do is repeat this step to make several roses and then arrange them in the vase with the baby's breath and silk leaves.
Baby Memory Box
A baby memory box is an excellent keepsake gift. The memory box holds special items such as baby booties, hospital bracelets and hats. You will need to buy a few items at the craft store such as a cardboard box, glitter and beads along with other accessories such as ribbon and a photo of the new baby. To make this craft use double-sided tape to secure the baby photo on the front of the box and decorate the box according to your preferences using glitter glue and ribbons.
