Handmade Paper Flowers for a Baby Shower
This article will give you some great ideas for making handmade paper flowers for a baby shower. Most women love beautiful flowers and paper flowers are a wonderful way to celebrate the pending arrival of a beautiful new life.
You can use handmade paper flowers to decorate everything and even make gifts for the mom to be. Have you ever seen a baby shower cake decorated in pink and blue flowers? They are beautiful, colorful and festive for the occasion.
Let’s start with the decorating even though the mom may know that the baby will be a boy using an assortment of colors will add to the beauty of the decorations. There is no rule that says you cannot use girl colors for a boy and boy colors for a girl. When it comes to decorating for a baby shower a nice assortment is best.
When making the centerpieces keep in mind that a touch of baby’s breath will not only add to the beauty of the centerpiece but to the sentiment of the shower.
Making a large bouquet using pinks, blues, purples, greens, and other pastel colors for the mom to be is a beautiful gift she can take home with her and set in the nursery.
You can also make her a little flower basket filled with baby items such as; baby lotion, body wash, a few wash clothes and diaper rash cream. Use a round box (like a deep hat box) cover the box with multi colored strips of crepe paper. Just cut thin strips of the crepe paper and attach them to the box with clear drying glue. Use any color you would like inside the box to cover the cardboard. Decorate the outside of the box with an assortment of colored flowers with or without the stems.
Make a flower mobile to hang above the baby’s crib. Of course this will just be a decoration and will need to be removed once the baby is old enough to reach it. It will certainly brighten up the nursery the first couple of months.
You can also make handmade flowers and attach them to a photo album for each guest to take home and eventually put the baby’s first picture in. Making mom a blank flowered scrapbook to put pictures in and write little notes about the baby is another wonderful idea. This gift idea is not only particle but thoughtful and the new mom will love adding photos and notes to the scrapbook as her baby grows into a toddler, child and eventually teenager! Just make sure you get a book that is very large or one that pages can be added to. Add a small stem less flower to each page. I recommend a different color or alternating colors of pinks and purples for girls and blues and greens for boys.
Handmade paper flowers for a baby shower are not only thoughtful but make wonderful gifts for the mom and the guests!
