Baby shower merupakan sebuah bentuk perhatian yang ditujukan kepada calon ibu dari para kerabatnya yang turut berbahagia dalam menunggu kelahiran bayinya. Anda juga bisa melakukan pesta baby shower ini sebagai bentuk kasih sayang kepada kerabat. Namun, tidak ada salahnya mencoba bukan? Yuk coba ide decor baby shower party di bawah ini
For this craft, you will need the following supplies:
Scissors
Craft paper or decorated card stock
Doilies (one for each letter)
Pens for lettering or alphabet stamps
Craft glue
Clothespins
Washi tape
Ribbon
Your banner can simply read “Baby,” or perhaps you want to try a phrase such as “It’s a Girl!” or “It’s a Boy!” Now is the time to figure out just what your banner should say.
If you are making the banner for a friend and you know the baby’s sex, feel free to use colors to fit the baby shower. You can use pre-decorated craft paper or make your own with card stock and watercolor paints.
You will need one doily and one circle of card stock per letter. The circles you draw should measure to fit the inside of the doily. For the doilies featured in this project, the circles had a diameter of 3-1/2 inches.
Use scissors to cut out the circles of your craft paper or decorated card stock. For our decorated paper, we used watercolors to paint the background.
If you are good at calligraphy, now is the time to show off your fancy letter work! Use a pen or marker in a bold or contrasting color to write one letter on each of your circles. For our banner, we wrote the letters by hand without a stencil.
If you’re letter work needs assistance: Use a computer to find a font you feel comfortable tracing and print out the letters. Having a guide will help you achieve the look of a stamp or professional quality.
Once your craft paper circles have been lettered, use glue (white, clear, or a glue-stick) to adhere them to the center of your doily. Allow to dry.
Tip: Use a thin layer of glue so that the delicate doily paper doesn’t get saturated and tear.
Do you want to hang your banner in a doorway, over a fireplace mantel, on a wall, or in a nursery? The length of the ribbon you use to hang your banner will depend on where you want it to go. Cut your ribbon accordingly.
You will need to use one clothespin per letter to attach your doilies to the ribbon. If you want to add something extra to your banner, feel free to decorate the clothespins. We recommend using washi tape or acrylic paint to add another pop of color, or a strip of lace to achieve a sweet-as-can-be look. It can be as subtle or bold as you want!
