DIY baby gifts for girls
If you do a lot of crafts, you probably already have most of the materials at home. To make the basic ‘cake’ for all girls’ diaper cakes, you will need:
With these supplies and a little skill, you can make any of our nappy cake designs. The nappy cake only forms the basis of the gift. You can make your baby gift for a girl special by adding lots of little extra gifts onto the nappy cake. Examples of small gifts that work particularly well to embellish your nappy cake are:
Finally, there are no limits to what you can add as little gifts. You can keep it looking classic in shades of soft pink and add some pure white and greys as an accent colour. Make sure to choose good quality products. We recommend only buying girls’ baby clothes made of cotton.
When selecting sizes, rather size up, so that the new baby can grow into them. It’s likely that the parents already have newborn sizes handy. In addition, getting larger sizes means that they can keep the cake for a few weeks while their baby grows before having to take it apart.
The clothing sizes for babies are given in centimetres and correspond to their body size. The following table will help you find the right size:
Clothing 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 |
Once you have chosen your baby gifts for girls, 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 girl.
Have fun crafting!
