Baby Shower Crafts

There are many simple crafts that you can make as presents for your guest if you are hosting a baby shower. If you are attending a shower, then you can also make these items as a gift for the new mother. Here are some easy to make crafts:

1) Soap - The easiest way to make soap if you are inexperienced is to melt an already made bar of soap and mold it into your own shape. You can buy molds with baby shower themes, like rubber ducks and baby blocks. Get an old pot and melt the soap on the stove. Be sure to watch the pot carefully so that the soap does not ignite. Handmade soap is better than factory made soap for these craft projects.

2) Candles - Making candles is similar to making soap and you can use the same molds to make great themed baby shower items. Many craft supply shops will have wax for candle making and you can easily find such supplies online as well. You can even purchase some fragrance oil to make scented candles if desired.

3) Magnets and Bookmarks - These are simple crafts that you can make on your own computer. First, you will need to find a poem or verse, and all the graphics that you want to use. You can get free graphics online by searching for "free clipart". Next layout everything in a word processor like Microsoft Word and print out some sample copies. You will want to use a thin cardstock for bookmarks and you can get magnet sheets for magnets. Once you are satisfied with the design, you can print it out on your own color printer.

4) Ceramics - Pottery and clay objects make fine baby shower keepsakes as well, but this is recommended only for more experienced craft people. You can shape the clay into whatever shape you want and then add some text to personalized the gift. Bake in the oven to harden and then apply paint and/or a glossy coat as a finishing touch.

5) Painted Glass - Another simple but nice idea is taking a plain drinking glass and painting the outside with a baby related theme. Glasses can also be engraved with messages and simple logos.
