Adorable Box for Baby Bibs and Gifts

Adorable Box for Baby Bibs and Gifts

Oh isn’t this just the cutest thing?

Adorable, well, it’s the perfect word in my humble opinion! And I have to thank my 4 small sons for being my inspiration. That and the Retiring List having depleted my shelves of stamp sets….

A couple of months ago, we cleared out the boys bedrooms and moved all 4 of them around. It was a logistical nightmare, but it did throw up some wonderful memories for me, and included in those memories were some baby bibs that all 4 boys had used, and they were just too precious to put away in the loft. Goodness only knows how they stayed so white and unstained, but they were certainly well used!

So my box today is to house a couple of bibs that you may want to gift to a new Mum or for the birth of a new baby. Trust me, bibs are very welcome gifts, but in their usual plastic wrapping, they’re not so inspiring.

And of course, that meant that a baby project needed the gorgeous Zoo Babies stamp set! One that I’ve sadly neglected, but leapt to the fore when I cleared out my shelves!

So I’m a happy crafter today. Although a small part of me wishes I was having a baby, so I could receive an adorable gift box such as this…

Here’s the video, I hope you like it!
