Crafty Part 1

Since joining pinterest, I have become much craftier.  I now own a hot glue gun, an array of ribbons, buttons, card stock paper, glitter, stickers, and scrapbook paper.  I even put together my own cleaning solution using white vinegar and dawn dish soap. (works like a charm by the way!)  Pinterest makes all of my DIY dreams come true with the help of their endless ideas and blogs. 

Back in May, I threw my friend Megan a shower for her little girl Ava (see previous post for cute pictures).  The theme was "onesies" which had DIY crafts written all over it.  For the invitations, I made them into the shape of an actual onesie.  Below I will show some pictures, and write out some directions.

Sorry for the poor quality of picture.  As you can see-I chose different paper for each invitation, to keep it exciting!
Using a onesie template (which I found on google images after typing "onesie template") Trace  and cut template from 2 identical pieces of scrapbook paper.  Make the design show on the front and back.  Hole punch on each shoulder (through both sheets).  Using a color coordinated ribbon, make little bows, slipping them through the holes (essentially securing the sheets of paper together).  Hot glue 2 buttons on the top.  Insert message inside.  And....taaa-daa!  You officially have the cutest baby shower invitations EVER!
