How to Make Baby Shower Gift Bags
Of course you can go out to any old store and pick up a baby shower gift bag, but why not take a bit of time, put in some effort and make it yourself? Not only will you save yourself money this way but as well you will have personalized the gift that much more and this is going to mean a lot to the expecting couple.
Making a baby shower gift bag is really simple, you just need to gather together the materials, make the basket, and then give it to the lucky receiver. If you are interested in making a baby shower gift bag then there are just a few steps that are going to be involved.
Buy the Materials
There are not many materials that you are going to need for your baby shower gift bag, and all you really require is a basket, the baby gifts that you want to present in the basket, some plastic wrap and ribbon. You may also want to get a decorative bow or some tulle, just to top it all off.
Getting Started
Once you have gathered all of your materials together now you are ready to get started on making the basket. You first want to set up the items inside of the basket, making sure that everything is visible but also compact so that nothing is falling out of the basket. Once you have moved everything around from here to there and determined how you want it set up, then you can begin wrapping the basket.
Start from the bottom, and then pull the wrapping up all around the sides and into a handful at the top of the basket. You want to twist the wrapping a few times around so that it is tight and then tie it off with the ribbon. Then you can place the bow wherever you want on the basket, usually on the very top is most ideal because then you are not covering up any of the great gifts inside.
You can get really creative with your baby shower gift bag, and if you know the baby's sex or name then you can personalize it even more this way. For instance you could write the baby's name on the wrapping with glitter or use blue or pink ribbon depending on whether it is a boy or a girl. Use your imagination and remember that by making your own gift from scratch you are going to be showing just how much you care and how much thought you put into it, and that is what really matters.
