Looking for a baby shower craft idea? Trends in baby shower crafts have changed from the cross-stitch glory days. The modern baby shower guests have a unique modern style in which they express themselves.
Dressing up useful items has taken on a new twist. With diapers in the lead, crafters have transformed everyday baby items to works of art. Toss the crochet hook, double sided sticky tape is the new girl's best friend!
Create something so beautiful that it will be hard for the new mommy to take it apart!
So what is the baby shower craft idea you will use for your next upcoming baby shower? That is something for you to decide.
Here's a list of what you might see at a baby shower
Diaper Cakes - There is no batter needed for these cakes! They are filled 100% with diapers and then decorated with cute baby items and ribbons.
Diaper Wreaths - Diaper wreaths are diapers that have been tied to a wreath frame and decorated.
Towel Cakes - Towel cakes are towels rolled to resemble cake layers. They are decorated with baby items.
Baby Sock Roses - Baby sock roses are baby socks that are rolled to resemble a rose. They are connected to floral wire with floral tape to give a long stem rose look.
Washcloth Bunnies - These are washcloths folded and tied to resemble a bunny. They are so cute! They can be used to decorate a diaper cake, towel cake, or spruce up any baby gift!
Baby wreaths - These wreaths are pretty close to the diaper wreath. Instead of using diapers to fill this wreath, baby items are used.
Washcloth Lollipops - The washcloth lollipops can be used as decoration, a centerpiece or given to guests as a favor. They are washcloths that have been rolled and attached to a craft stick to look like lollipops.

The new trend in these baby shower craft ideas have made it possible for more people to participate in making and customizing their craft to meet their taste and style. While the time, skill and effort of cross stitching, crocheting and quilting have kept most people running in the other direction; the new style has given the rest of us a second chance.
Use a baby shower craft idea that is unique to you!
Some reasons to use one of these items
- It definitely will be saved from the dreaded return pile. We all know that there are items that will be returned from the baby shower. Make sure your item is not on that list! Give her something that you know will be kept and used!
- It is so unique and beautiful that they won't want to take it apart.
- It can be displayed as a decoration or centerpiece and then used for the baby.
- It takes little time and effort to make a work of art.
- No two pieces are alike. If someone else happens to bring a baby shower craft, you can be pretty sure your item will be unique to you.
Diapers and towels are very useful to a new baby, but do not usually bring many oohs and ahhs from other guests. A little of your time and creativity can transform diapers or towels into show stopping centerpieces of conversation!
Crafty people have rolled up their sleeves across America to make custom crafts for new moms. For some people who feel they are challenged in the design area, there are solutions to bring them up to the coveted crafter status others achieve. These items are finding their way into boutiques and floral shops, but can also be purchased online for reasonable prices.
Whichever baby shower craft idea you decide to use, you are sure give the baby gift that everyone present will appreciate!
