Handcrafted Baby Boy Bib & Bottle

You Will Need:

Square Panels Card

Cut some strips of scrap card at least 15cm long to 2.75cm and 4cm wide. A paper trimmer makes this much easier than a craft knife and cutting mat. Using the card lengths like a ruler draw lines 2.75cm in from each edge of the card on the inside front panel. Then draw lines 4cm in from each of the lines you have just drawn. Use a craft knife, ruler and cutting mat to cut out the four squares you have drawn. If your edges are a little rough you can smooth them down with the back of a teaspoon or for more accuracy use an embossing tool.

Cut four 3.5cm squares from the white card. Put a tiny bit of double sided tape in each corner of each square and stick them over the apertures. Next cut four 3cm squares from the blue card and stick them to the fist squares as shown.

Stick an embellishment to the centre of each square.

Baby Bib Card

Use the corner punch to cut the corners of the card.

Cut the white card to 9cm square and use double sided tape to stick it to the card. Cut some blue card to 8cm square and stick it on top of the white card. Cut another piece of blue card to 6cm square and stick it on top of the first piece using 3D foam pads.

Stick the baby bib on to the card and finish with peel offs if desired.

Baby Bottle Card

Cut a 5cm square from the centre of the card. To do this cut some scrap card to 4.75cm wide and use it like a ruler to draw lines 4.75cm in from each edge of the card. Use a craft knife and cutting mat to cut out the 5cm square you have drawn.

Cut some of the white paper to two 7.25cm squares. Then carefully cut each one into two triangles. Stick the triangles on to each corner of the card.

Use border peel offs to cover the raw edges of the papers. Stick more peel offs around the edge of the square aperture.

Stick the embellishment in to the centre of the aperture.
