I love making homemade gifts for Christmas, and I am getting off to a good start this year. I finished a counting book for O today, and Guh-guh and I made this pouch sling for O to carry her babies. We are planning on making a matching one for Marg. I couldn't believe how easy it was to make and how good it looked! What gifts are you making this Christmas? (I'm always looking for more good ideas!)
I love your blog, it's wonderful! I'm wondering how you made the baby book? If you don't mind sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteTHanks! I ordered a blank board book from www.barebooks.com. Then I printed pictures, cut around them closely, and glued the pictures into the book. I put a layer of mod podge over the cover picture, but it would have made the pages stick within the book. I bought spray to protect the pictures within the book, but I haven't sprayed them yet.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI was actually looking for some ideas for Christmas when I found you blog!
I am groovin on the babe sling, think I 'll see about making one for my 4yr old, she'd love it!
You want ideas too so I'll share the other thing I found today that I'm gonna make! http://lh6.ggpht.com/_DyeUJV_BpsI/SHb5Bj6lHBI/AAAAAAAAADI/OBVUe-iwRcU/s288/lightbright.jpg
Those are awesome! I have been searching for months for blank books like that!I am so glad I came across your post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your ideas! I'd love to make a baby sling for my niece. Where did you get the pattern? I've seen a few online but none as nice as that one!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't use a pattern (we almost never do!). I measured around the girls to get the length, and then just cut the same shape of my sling. It worked. Email me if you want more details :)
