Frugal Fun Ideas with Brie: Baby Shower Present / Personalized Baby Bibs

by Breezy Brie on 10/01/2012

I just had a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Her first baby! I decided to go with a running/work out theme because that is totally the mom – and we have decided this baby is destined to be athletic! I also got a little Puma track suit at Marshalls today and little socks that look like shoes to go along with the bibs. Here’s the “work out” bibs: Athletic Baby BibsAnd of course I had to make a couple bibs representing the baby-to-be’s favorite aunt and uncle! (Keeping reading – you’ll see them at the end!) I’m so excited to be an aunt :)

I used my Cricut to cut out the words on freezer paper (shiny side face down). On this one, the bomb was actually a balloon – could you tell?!
Photobucket Then I put a towel over the paper and bib and ironed it on until it stuck.

In this picture I had already removed the “Uncle Kevin” stencil, but you can see how messy the other part looks before I remove the stencil, just wait it will be amazing! Oh, and I used Martha Stewart craft paints mixed with a little fabric medium.

Thanks Donna! :) I think that was my favorite too, and I’m still quite proud of myself for thinking of using the balloon to create the bomb stencil! :)

Very cute! What is “fabric medium”?

Breezy Brie October 7, 2012 at 7:27 pm

Hi Pat! Fabric Medium is a liquid that you mix with acrylic paints so that the paint works better on fabric. You can buy it at any of your craft stores, like JoAnn’s or Michael’s and it’s usually right in with the other small acrylic paints. It’s like a milky clear-white color. Hope that helps answer your question!
