The best way to make your baby shower memorable and more enjoyable would be to have a DIY gift making activity for all your guests during the event. Instead of having the regular baby shower party games, this would be more exciting and innovative. Not only would this be a very fulfilling activity for the guests but the crafts prepared would remain with you as the memories of an evening, well-spent. The montage of handmade gifts can be used later to decorate the baby nursery. Here are five amazing craft ideas for an instant hit with your guests at your baby shower.
1. Making creatively framed nursery letters
You could get one group of the guests to make framed nursery letters that are extremely easy to make. You just need to provide them with a couple of wooden frames, some wall papers, fabric and paints. A few stencils of letters would be handy for the guests to do a neat job. These letters can be cut and pasted or even painted with a background later to be framed and hung in the baby’s nursery. This would truly be a priceless gift from your guests.
2. Framed matte board with the signature of the guests
You could get another group of guests to actually create a decorative matte board using all kinds of fabric and paper. All the guests can write their little messages for the baby-to-come with their signatures. This can then be framed and hung up on the nursery wall. This DIY project would be extremely memorable for you and the baby with the blessings of all those who attended the baby shower.
3. A fun scrapbooking activity
You could give some colorful scrapbook papers, ribbons, glue, decorative papers and paints to the guests to put together a unique scrapbook for the baby. This scrapbook can include a page decorated by each one of the guests with a picture of the mother-to-be. This would definitely be a sweet memento for the years to come.
4. An artistic paint-your-own pottery activity
All the guests could be given a ceramic tile with paints to decorate. These tiles can then be used for the baby’s nursery to make it colorful and interesting. These unique creations would definitely be remembered for years to come.
5. Cute DIY alphabet blocks
Handmade blocks would be a very engaging activity for the guests which can later be kept as a keepsake. Relatively easy to make, you would require unfinished wooden cubes, paints, stickers, brushes and glue. You could limit the colors to those used in the nursery and make them fit in with the decor.
