Flower Baby Clips

So cute! I've been looking for a tutorial for these - also remember to buy the alligator clips at Sally Beauty! Have Jess do it!

I made this last week, but my internet was down for almost a week, and I forgot I was waiting to post it :)

I found a bouquet of red flowers at Jo-Anns and used my trusty 40% off coupon (I wouldn't have half my craft stash without those now that we're living on a budget). I picked off 3 flowers from the stems and used a needle and thread to sew them together and attached a yellow button to the center.

Some fake flowers come with pretty centers you can use, but mine were ugly, so I opted for the button.

I then covered an alligator clip with 7 inches of 3/8" yellow ribbon and sewed the flower down to the ribbon-lined clip and then finished it off with some craft glue under the flower to add extra stability.

P.S. - I looked all over about 4 months ago for a handful of the alligator clips (or AKA Toddler Clips) and wound up at Sally's Beauty Supply. I got this box below of 100 clips for about $5. You can't find a better deal than that. These are the same clips I used when I made these Toddler Hair Clips last month. . .

This was my first attempt at attaching flowers to clips, but I hope to get better flowers next time (preferrably Daisies)!

Baby Info Blocks

How cute! I would love these for my {future} children. :)

I've been trying different ways and layouts to display my son's name with his birth info, and this is the design I settled on. I've seen it on one square block and that's what got my creative juices flowing - but I wanted something a little different.

My husband cut the wood into 3 pieces for me and then I painted it and burnished the edges with brown stamp pad ink - then applied the vinyl I cut with my Cricut Expression.

Diaper Wipe Case

I'm definitely going to want multiple of these when I have a baby! So stinkin' cute!!

I saw these covered diaper wipe cases when I was pregnant with my first baby and fell in love with them. I thought they were adorable and had to make them! I hope you find this tutorial useful!

Supplies:
plain wipe case
glue gun
pins
paper
pencil
batting
material
trim
ribbon/embellishments
scissors
ruler or measuring tape

Trace the bottom of your wipe case once and top of your wipe case twice. One of your top patterns will be the pattern for your batting.Once you have your patterns for the top and bottom you will need to measure the bottom and top sides of your wipe case. Once you have the measurement you will need to extend the top and bottom drawing by the amount you measured so that it will cover the sides of your wipe case.

You will have three patterns .I labeled mine top, bottom and batting so that I could use my patterns again. *The batting pattern is your original top pattern. It will be the smallest.Pin your patterns to the batting and cut out your batting. Next, do this with your top and bottom patterns to cut out your material.Glue your batting to the top of you wipe case.Glue the material to the top of the case. Make sure it covers the sides. It doesn't have to be perfect because you will be putting trim around the edges. Do the exact same thing to the bottom of the case. Then add ribbons or any other "bling" you want to the top of your wipe case. You want to do this before you add the trim.Glue trim to the top and bottom of the case. I like to start in the back so that the seams match up in the back and not in the front.

Here is the final product! So cute!
