Baby Shower Gifts to Make
Do you have a baby shower coming up and can’t think what gift to give? Perhaps you would like to make something yourself but don’t think you have the skills. Well think again!
If you want something that is quite different, is totally impressive and will have everyone wanting one too, consider cakes made from nappies. They are the latest thing in the USA and are becoming popular in Australia too. They can look so professional you would not believe you could make one yourself. And if you still have doubts about whether you could do it yourself, one ‘nappy artist’ says it is so simple that even a man can do it! In fact her husband demonstrates how-to on an instruction video.
We know the ideal way to learn a craft is to watch an expert do it. Apparently, the technique is dependent on how you roll or fold the nappies. Having seen photographs of a few of these amazing structures, it is obvious you could easily end up sitting on a pile of nappies if you don’t know what your are doing. It is worth learning how to do it properly to really impress your friends and family.
How anyone could come up with such a novel idea, to make huge and amazing cakes out of simple nappies, says something about people’s creativity. And you can add your own touch of creativity in decorating your cakes to make them truly individual.
This is one gift that is highly decorative, while being totally practical. Of course the best way to learn any craft is by watching an expert, but the next best thing is to watch an expert on video, rather than ending up tearing your hair out trying to work it out yourself. There are instructional videos available to download onto your computer for a nominal fee, so you can learn the secrets to this craft then surprise your family and friends with a fabulous handmade gift.
One clever cake-maker provides money-saving and decorating tips to help you make the best cakes without spending too much money. You also get recipes and shopping lists to make different cakes.
Once you have the know-how, it only takes about 23 minutes to create one of these magnificent gifts. There are two different styles of nappy cake, using the nappies either rolled or folded, and both look great. If I received one of these I would be reluctant to dismantle it!
