DIY baby gifts for boys
If you're experienced in crafts, you're bound to have some of the materials needed for our DIY gifts at home already. To make the basic diaper cake you will need:
Nappies
Coloured ribbons
Coloured construction paper
Rubber bands
Pins
Glue and scissors
With a little creativity, you can use these materials to create a unique homemade gift that is perfect to celebrate the birth of a little boy. This gift can be filled with all sorts of goodies for the new parents. In addition to a stock of nappies, you can embellish your cake with some of the following items:
Cute blue baby bodysuits
Blue and grey bibs
Boys’ baby socks and shoes
Blue and white molton cloths
A soft cuddle cloth or a stuffed animal
Dummies, bottles, and spoons
Care products for both mother and child
You can be as creative as you like with the little gifts and decorations. Blue tones, softer grey tones, and white make the gift boyish and cute at the same time. A thoughtful choice of high-quality organic cotton baby clothes will add a level of quality to the gift.
Another thing to consider when buying baby clothes is the sizing. It’s best not to buy the smallest size as the parents may already have enough to start with and it would be a shame to pull the cake apart straight away after all that work. Babies grow fast and it won’t be long before the parents will really appreciate some new larger clothes that fit!
Babies clothing sizes are measured in centimetres and correspond to their body size. The following table will help you find the right size:
Clothiung size | 50 | 56 | 62 | 68 | 74 | 80 | 86 | 92 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Age in month | 0 - 1 | 0 - 1 | 2 - 3 | 3 - 6 | 6 - 9 | 9 - 12 | 12 - 18 | 18 - 24 |
As soon as you have all the items for your baby gift for boys, you can start crafting. You can use anything you like to embellish the gift. Our instructions merely serve as a guide and inspiration, so be creative and design your very own individual gift for a baby boy.
Have fun crafting!
