DIY Baby Shower Gifts: Diaper & Bath Cakes

This month, I had the pleasure of attending a Girl's baby shower and a Boy's baby shower, within two weeks of each other. I decided to do my diaper & bath cakes that I enjoy doing. (See Baby Cakes & Cup Cakes for my original post).

Both "cakes" were made with newborn diapers on the bottom, wrapped with a bath towel. The second layer was more diapers and toiletries (baby lotion, baby bath soap, baby powder, and diaper cream). The top layer was bath cloths wrapped around a soft bath toy.

For the girl cake, I also included the most beautiful hand-made headbands I have ever seen. The headbands were hand-made by Penny at Autumn Owls & Fireflies. The headbands really added to the look of the girl cake. Thank you, Penny!

Bright Future - DIY Graduation Gift

What do you give as a graduation gift when money isn't appropriate? This creative little DIY light bulb right here! I originally got the idea from Good House Keeping (although the link seems to be currently broken). 

Of course I had to dress up the tag with my own design style; you can download it here for your own use. Once it is cut out, paste it onto card stock of your choice, and cut it out following the same curves. Make sure to leave a little space to be able to see the card stock color.

Instead of filling the light bulb with money, I chose to use skittles. The cute and colorful bulbs were from Michael's and were very affordable. (And did you know, you can now order straight from the Michael's website?!?! YAY!!!)
