Baby Shower Centerpieces to Impress
If you have the special honor of hosting a baby shower for a friend or family member, you’re well aware that there are many important aspects and details that will need taking care of before the big day arrives. Baby shower centerpieces can be made to look attractive and created at a low price, especially if you use your creative talents.
Baby Shower Centerpieces – Edible
– Candy Topiaries: A glue gun is your weapon for making candy topiaries, but you’ll also need some plain or patterned flower pots, candy corn or similar candy, and cinnamon sticks.
– The Watermelon Buggy: If you’re feeling extra creative, carve a watermelon into the shape of a baby buggy or carriage, which actually isn’t as difficult as it first looks, and then fill with all sorts of delicious fruits such as grapes, melon balls, and cherries. Use orange slices with cherries in the center for the “hubcaps” and place lettuce underneath as a garnish.
Non-Edible Baby Shower Centerpieces
– Baskets: You can search local stoers and find attractive baskets to use as a centerpiece base for beautiful centerpieces. These can be gifts for the guests to take home, or more for the Mom-to-be herself. Baskets can be just about any container these days, so be creative and think outside the box (basket!).
Some fillers for the basket could include bottles, toys, socks, pacifiers, teethers, lotions, and bath toys, or if the centerpieces are for the guests, add candles, aromatherapy items, coupons for book stores, spas, and hair salons, as well as bubble bath, books, nail polish, chocolates, and useful items for the kitchen.
Baby Sock Roses: You can use plain vases to hold your baby sock roses. Select artificial flowers that fit with your color theme, baby’s breath, wire and some pairs of baby socks in your chosen color. Oh, and don’t forget some greenery as a foil. Tightly roll each sock, thinner fabrics work best, starting from the toe working to the open end, and then fastening with double-sided tape.
You could play around with folding or rolling the socks, in a way that gets the best result for a “petal” appearance, then inserting the wire before wrapping the flower bottoms in green floral tape, prior to arranging in a vase.
– Diaper Cakes and Wreaths: These old favorite baby shower centerpieces are still a good choice today. Just use your talents and imagination to be creative with the design. The idea could be used to make diaper cupcakes, also using either disposable or cloth diapers.
Other possibilities include stuffed animals with ribbons, balloons of varying colors, and flowers; all this can be mixed and matched. Any ordinary plush toys can be turned into one that would make a great baby shower centerpiece by adding a few embellishments such as diaper pins, baby bottles, bibs, and little blankets.
Painting and stenciling inexpensive flower pots can make great baby shower decorations. Just choose your own stencil designs and sayings for a unique decoration. Instead of buying costly flowers from a florist, head to the supermarket the morning of the shower and purchase a few seasonal bouquets for a fraction of the price. You can then break down the bouquets and added to the pots, or even displayed singularly, each in a clear glass vase.
Once you have made your decisions on baby centerpiece then you can think about getting organized and sending out those baby shower invitations.
