Baby Crafts: Unique Gifts for New Arrivals

Why buy ordinary baby toys and clothes when you can handmake something personal and special at a fraction of the cost? Here are 16 toolproof step-by-step craft projects that range from baby room decorations, to decorative embroidery, to making your own birth announcement, and memory projects. Sidebars with valuable baby care information and baby facts are included with each project. Paper, stitchery, and knitting essentials provide the basic instructions you need to make a broad range of crafts for babies. Many of the projects are planned to start out with something plain--such as a plain cotton onesie or a plain wooden or metal book end - then have the crafter embellish the item with paint, stitching, decoupage, etc.
