Hey Cuties,
Your girl is back on the tizzube, this time I am chatting about dope DIY Baby Shower gifts. I’ve made some really cute items and they are super easy. No crafting skills required. These are fail-proof so don’t worry. If you’re not sure about making something yourself, you could buy the items instead. If you’re like me, I’m always bucking for the best gift and I’m sharing my secrets.
Ready to go live…
My table was all set up and I was ready to go live. You can watch my segment below.
Veronica Johnson and I always have a good time.
DIY Onesies
DIY Onesies are supposed to be cute and fun not perfect. When they put the onesie on the baby it will remind them of Auntie… or God Mommy… or Uncle…. For the skull, I used a template and painted on the design. I can’t draw but now you can’t tell. I also used a stencil for the Cutie onesie in the middle. The little tuxedo onesie has a bow you can secure with craft glue and I used a Sharpie for the buttons. You can also use puff paint to put funny saying on the front as well. No pressure!
Wooden Letters & Custom Converse
Wooden letters are a great way to personalize a nursery. You can use the baby’s name, initials or inspirational words. I used gold spray paint on these but you can also use multipurpose craft glue. Custom Converse are always a fan favorite at baby showers. The baby gets to be stylish in a custom sneaker and parents keep them as a dope keepsake.
Gift Basket
DIY Gift Baskets are another favorite gift I like to give. If you aren’t sure what to get you can get a few items off the registry. Then order an item or two from a company like Darlyng & CO. They have unique baby items that Mommy and Baby will love. How cute is this Yummy Buddy Teether Plush Toy? While it is cute it is totally functional, it is chewable silicone that glows in the dark for toddlers to chew on. It also has a chewable bib and multiple sensory patterns for visual stimulation. We love the toys that keep them occupied. Plus toys are a great focal point for your basket.
Diaper Cake w/ Topper
Diaper Cakes make for cute decoration, they are a great gift and people will ogle your creativity. Believe it or not, they are easy to make.
Pictorial of DIY Diaper Cake
For the sake of TV, I made a small one but you can make them much larger if you would like. The instructions are the same either way. Size 1 diapers are the bet to use for a diaper cake, how many you need, will depend on the size of your cake. Step 1: Roll each diaper individually and secure with a rubber band. I use the small bands that are used for hair, you can get a big pack for $0.99. Step 2: You can use a variety of things to secure your cake. If you are making this cake as a gift for someone else then I suggest using a bottle of wine for a base. Because all Mom’s need wine. Use a few flat diapers at the base of your bottle and secure with a rubber band. Step 3: One by one stand up your individually rolled diapers up under the rubber band. Keep going until you have made your circle on the bottom layer. Step 4: Keeping going, do every tier the same. As you move up you will skip step 2. Step 5: Since I used an open container I filled the inside of mine before working on the topper. Step 5: I put a second layer on the inside to fill it up. Step 6: Add ribbon around each layer to add some personality. You can use a variety of items as a topper. I used the Yummy Mitt Teething Mitten & Scratch Mitts.
The cupcake onesie is new to me and it is so freaking cute. It is simple to make, I gave you a step-by-step pictorial graphic so you can’t go wrong. Now I bet you can’t wait to put your baby into these cute gifts and bond over some baby songs.

So much cuteness that you can do with diapers and onesies. I just spent a few hours at a baby shower last week and loved the DIY gifts best.
I love that Tamara.
I wish I knew about this about six months ago. My sister-in-law just had a baby and I really love what you did here. It had to been exciting to be on TV to talk about all this too. You are extremely creative and I really love what you did with these gifts.
Thanks Jeanette. Aww man, we just missed it. Maybe she will have another. lol
These are such great ideas. I’d be happy with a diaper cake! You always need diapers, after all. The cupcake onesie is adorable as well.
Thanks Amber. Yes, diaper cakes are always a winner.
Diaper cakes are a classic. I love the single diaper cupcake idea too though, that’s super cute.
Thanks Pam.
Those cupcakes are really cute!! None of my friends are having babies anymore! Showers were always so much fun!
They are a lot of fun, our baby shower was co-ed and I liked that even more.
I always love DIY projects and how it helps you to be creative and resourceful. These are great baby shower gifts!
Thanks Maurene. I love a good DIY, it keeps my mind at ease.
I made the onesie cupcakes for a friend and she LOVED them. Such a cute idea with items that a new mom will need.
I love that Kim, thanks.
Finally something DIY that I have done! I made diaper cakes for centerpieces for my bff baby shower. Her son is 6 now!
Yeah Jonna!!!! Oh wow, I knew you had some craft skills in there somewhere.
DIY Gift Baskets are my favorite. I loved the cupcakes too. They are cute and edible. The mommy to be is going to be happy after watching these cute baby shower gifts. J

I love DIY gifts! We get invited to things and I have no idea what to bring. Thanks for the ideas!
Jenn a DIY will make sure you have a one of a kind gift.
All are gorgeous, but diaper cakes are life savers. I had twins and my diaper cake was by far my most useful gift. Very cool segment.
I bet it was Elle, I will keep that in mind.

The cake diaper is pretty and what a creative idea. A friend of mine does this and she sells them.
Thanks Rose, that is a great business to have.
All of these ideas are so cute! I love the idea of personalized onsies, and the diaper cake is always a good thing to give someone. You can never have enough diapers.
Right, you never have enough diapers is the truth.
Oh I love those onesie cupcakes! They are so easy to make too. I hope I get an invite for a baby shower so I can make this cute gift.
Annemarie, the best thing is that they are so easy to make.

Baby showers are one of my favorite things to plan and buy for. I like to see what creative things will come about with the diaper cakes.
Baby showers always make us go overboard.
I am loving how creative you got with the onsies but my absolute favourite is the wood letters.
Thanks, Anosa.
These folks just need to go ahead and give you a permanent segment. You are so creative. I think I need those Converse for myself. LOL
Kita, they should. I need them to put me on the payroll.
I love all of these ideas. I have a few baby showers coming up where I can put these to use.
Yay, go for it Kim.
