A baby shower is a special event to celebrate that a little one is on the way. It is nice to have small favors as thank-you gifts for the guests that share in the party. Miniature diapers are a comical baby shower favor and conversation piece for the guests. The mini-diapers—which can be handmade—can be filled with candies or a piece of cellophane-wrapped fudge tied with a bow.
Things You'll Need
Pastel or white flannel or felt
1/2-inch safety pins
Cloth scissors
Step 1
Draw a triangle on card stock or light-weight cardboard. The triangle should measure 2 1/2 inches at the top and 8 inches on either side ending in a point. Cut the pattern out.
Step 2
Place the cloth on to a work surface upside down. Trace around the triangle pattern with a pen or pencil.
Step 3
Cut out the triangular piece of cloth.
Step 4
Place the cloth triangle on to the work surface, wrong side out. The point should be at the bottom.
Step 5
Fold the pointed end of the cloth upward until it is overlapping the top of the cloth about a half an inch.
Step 6
Fold the sides of the cloth over to the middle with one point overlapping the other.
Step 7
Fold the top point back down inside of the mini-diaper. Pin the center with a tiny safety pin. Hand sew the diaper to secure the front for an alternative to the small safety pin. A plastic novelty diaper pin can be glued or sewn to the center.
