DIY Mama: 30 Simple Handmade Baby Gifts


30 Easy DIY Baby Gifts

It sure seems to be the season for baby showers around here.  So many people go for the standard diapers and bath supplies when it comes to giving gifts for a new baby.  But I like to be unique when gift giving at baby showers.  What better than a one of a kind, handmade gift?  I just recently made these sweet giraffe-themed burp cloths for a friends new arrival.  (I used this simple tutorial from I am Momma, Hear Me Roar.)  Here are 30 easy DIY baby gifts with simple step-by-step tutorials.

  1. Oh wow thanks for this compiled list! I love making blankets and burp rags and giving clothes that are a few sizes too big(we sometimes forget babies grow) and my friends love it, they tell me so and s finally fits in the clothes you gave me!
    Thanks again!

    1. You're very welcome! I was happy to compile it for myself to have all of these resources in one spot, too. I know exactly what you mean about the larger sized baby clothes. My little guy is starting to get into 6 month sizes and we didn't get a lot in the larger sizes as gifts. I think people just love to buy those really itty bitties!

  10. Could also do nursing or feeding covers for breast feeding mums. I bought one for $50 and made one for a similar price but more experienced sewers would prob need less upfront costs cos already prepared ;)
