Today was my sister in laws' first baby shower. I am in the middle of making
her a blanket, but I didn't have anything for the shower today. In a
panick, I remembered a present idea I saw online a while ago, where you
wrap presents tightly in crepe paper, forming a layered ball full of
treats. I made a quick trip to the store and stocked up on baby goodies
(including a Keith Haring bib - amazing!) and proceeded to make my first
ever present bomb!
 |
| The first thing I wrapped was the rubber ducky. This was a bit tricky, and required a bit of tape to get things started. |
 |
| Then came treats! |
 |
| 5 facecloths... |
 |
| In hindsight loose treats like this weren't the best idea - I'm pretty sure some got lost and tossed out in the wrapping! |
 |
| To change
color, I tried to tape one piece of crepe paper to the other, just so
that the person opening it could get a fluid roll. |
 |
| More treats... anything in a squishy bag will wrap super easily. |
 |
| The last piece... |
 |
| And a little tag for the top of the present bomb... |
Anddd.... voila!
I left my hand in so you can get an idea of how large it was. It was dense, too!
And for good measure, a few pictures of the mom-to-be opening what was likely the most annoying present at the party.
