Baby Pin

When you are pregnant, the question most asked is “When are you due?”  Here’s a clever way to let everyone know.

Supplies needed:

  • 2 ” wooden heart
  • 1″ wooden ball
  • acrylic paints; flesh tone & baby blue, pink or yellow
  • 4″ thin white ribbon
  • lace or left over fabric for bonnet or cap
  • earring back with plastic protector for pacifier
  • thin line Sharpie
  • pin back
  • hot glue and gun

Paint heart and head, let dry. Hot glue head onto heart. Then hot glue ribbon bonnet or cap (I tied top of cap with a little piece of embroidery floss). Glue on ribbon bow,  earring for mouth and pin on back, just below head. Then with the sharpie, draw on eyelids.

Finally, with a thin sharpie, add ‘Due in (month)’ OR for an expecting grandma add ‘Proud Grandma in (month)’

Wear with pride or give to an expecting friend.

Bridal Shower TP Game

Set up: Get supplies together before hand and put into paper bags, 1 set per team.

To play: divide your guests into teams of 3 or 4. Each team picks a ‘bride’. Teams then have 15 minutes to dress their bride using supplies given. (Take pictures for posterity!)

Choosing a winner: The real bride chooses the team that came up with the creation that most closely matches her wedding gown and veil.

 

Supplies, per team:

  • 1 Roll Toilet Paper
  • 1 Roll Paper Towels
  • 1 Roll Tape
  • Scissors

Optional Items:

  • crepe paper in coordinating color
  • bundle of flowers for the bouquet
  • cheap plastic headband for veil

I also like to add something weird to the bag, to get guests wondering ‘what the heck is this for?’!
