need a baby boy craft idea

my sister had twins, and she's given us a lot of awesome crafted gifts over the years.I'd like to craft some things for them too!

I plan on making my niece hair clips and headbands - I make then for my daughters, so I am all set on those.

I have no clue for my nephew. I don't have a sewing machine, and don't know how to knit. I considered making a framed button monogram of their initials for their nursery, but the parents' style is more modern and I think that project is just more vintagey looking.

What are some cute ideas for boys? Having 2 girls has put me in a different frame of mind!

Re: need a baby boy craft idea

  • Keeping in the theme of the framed initials, I thought you could still do that but with a more modern twist... Get a couple sheets of modern looking scrapbooking paper (or discard wallpaper scraps) and cut those into block letters. Maybe but the initials into white foam board and stick the paper behind that and frame it. Let me see if I can find an example.

  • This is similar to what I was thinking. You could do more modern lettering and framing.

  • i got to visit and see their new home and the nursery this weekend - it is a cute idea, but just wouldn't really work in there.

    I may make one for my littlest though! 

     

  • Some legwarmers from tube socks? Oh wait you said no sewing machine....

    How about a tie onesie? And buy a matching hat?

     

  • A mobile for the nursery?

  • i think you can totally do the framed button monogram.  just use a modern text and an assortment of fun colorful buttons.  or pick one color family for the buttons and frame the monogram on top of a piece of coordinating patterned scrapbooking paper.
