Baby Shower Gifties

I have two baby showers this month, and everyone knows there's nothing cuter than baby gifts.

One is for an old friend from high school who now lives in Charlotte, NC. Unfortunately I can't make it to her shower, but I knew I wanted to give her something girlie and sweet for her little girl's arrival. Something about sugar and spice and everything nice...

So I made her washcloth lollipops!

Putting them together was really quick after I figured out how to fold and roll the "lollys" and pin them so that the safety pin wouldn't show once they were packaged. The trick was to fold each cloth individually, then stack them one on top of the other and stagger them just about 1/2" apart so that as I rolled them, the outside edge turned out smooth (not a big fat stump which wouldn't have balanced on the spoon I used for the base).

After they were all twirled up, I placed each one on a baby spoon and then wrapped them in upturned clear gift bags tied with pretty curling ribbon.

Then I just paired them with a hooded towel and packaged them up to be shipped to NC! I really hope she loves the gift just as much as I loved putting it together.

Up next is a special project for another shower I'm co-hosting with some friends. I can't talk about it just yet because they read the blog. So sneaky...

Making these sweet treats has been so fun, I might have to start up a shop and try to sell them!
