DIY Baby Shower Ideas
Throwing a baby shower is a great opportunity to showcase your creativity. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or an elaborate event, these DIY ideas will help you to host a memorable and personalized celebration without breaking the bank.
Baby Blocks
Make these baby shower balloon boxes for a gender reveal party.
Materials Needed:
- Foam board
- Clear vinyl sheet
- Double-sided tape
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Craft knife or utility blade
- Ruler and pencil
- Balloons in desired colors
- Decorative letters (e.g., “B,” “A,” “B,” “Y”)
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the foam board into 14x14-inch squares. You will need four squares for each box.
- On each square, measure and mark 2 inches in from the edge to create a frame.
- Using a craft knife, cut out an 11x11-inch square from the center to form the window opening. Cut a piece of clear vinyl slightly larger than the window opening.
- Stretch the vinyl tightly over the opening to minimize wrinkles.
- Use double-sided tape to secure the vinyl to the back of the frame. Be careful not to puncture the vinyl during this process.
- Use double-sided tape to adhere your chosen letters (e.g., “B,” “A,” “B,” “Y”) to the front of each box.
- Use a hot glue gun to join the edges of the foam board squares, forming a cube. Repeat for each box.
- Once the cubes are assembled, fill them with balloons in your chosen colors.
- Cut additional foam board pieces to create tops for the boxes and attach them using hot glue after the balloons are added.
