Make your baby shower extra special with these adorable baby shower favor pins that guests can wear at the party and then take home. It’s a great way to reveal the baby’s gender too – package ‘em up and mail them out to friends and family. Or use these DIY medallions as gift toppers for the expectant mom-to-be at the shower.
You will need:cookie cutters, polymer clay, rolling pin, awl (or other object that can be used for carving), pin backs, craft or super glue
Directions: Roll polymer clay into a ball to warm it up and make it easier to roll out with a rolling pin. Roll out the clay into a thin slab about 1/4 inch thick. Use a circle cookie cutter to create the base, along with two small, long strips of clay. Attach the two strips to the back of the circle by scoring the back and pressing down lightly. Flip back over and set aside. Next, roll out another piece of clay in a contrasting color to the same 1/4 inch thickness and use cookie cutter animals to create the piece that will lay on top of the clay ribbon base. Lightly score the back of the animal that you cut out and attach it to the front of the ribbon base. Bake in the over according to instructions. Once completely cool, flip the entire piece over and glue on a pin back using craft or super glue. Wait for the glue to completely dry before using.
Add these DIY baby shower drink stirrers to your signature beverage for an extra pop of color and cuteness. Choose a shade to match your theme or reveal the gender with pink or blue. And when the party is over, pop the clay trinket off of the stirrer and you have a tiny keepsake from the day.
You will need:cookie cutters, polymer clay, rolling pin, awl or other object that can be used for carving, stir sticks, craft glue
Directions: Roll out a medium sized piece of clay into a thin slab about 1/4 inch thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out different shapes and then carve any details with an awl or clay carving tool. Bake in the oven according to instructions and let cool. Add a small bead of glue to the back of the clay shapes and attach stir sticks. Let the glue dry completely for several hours or according to manufacture instructions and then pop the finished stir sticks into drinks at the shower.
