Baby Shower Craft DIY : Wishes for Baby What better way to share the anticipation of a new little one than to have your baby shower guests write a keepsake for the Mother-to-Be! These well wishing cards add to the theme of the party, and they’ll be something Mom will treasure for a lifetime. Materials: • A Printer • Cardstock (colors to match your theme) • Scissors • Ribbon • Tiny Clothespins • Fine Glitter & Craft Glue Instructions: 1. Print this Template PDF file (Diaper, Bunny, & Monkey are included) on quality card stock. If you have trouble accessing the PDF, you can download the JPG here. 2. Cut out shapes and gather any additional supplies – pins, writing utensils, ribbon, etc. 3. Optional: Add glitter! Tiny glittery clothespins are a bit pricey, but their plain counterparts are not. With a little glitter and glue, you can make a bundle of your own for a fraction of the cost! Paint one side with craft glue and dip into glitter, then let dry. 4. On the day of the shower place the cards on a table or in a decorative box for guests. Use a small container to hold the pins and place them next to the cards – along with pens or pencils. 5. Securely hang a line or two of ribbon for your guests to hang their well wishes and predictions. 6. Save the cards for mom to put in baby’s keepsake box! 84
