My DIL's best friend is due around November, and I wanted to make something handmade, so this was a a sort of perfect fit for me. I hope she will like it. It's always fun to have personalized decor for a baby. I think so anyway!
I bought this pack of baby girl themed cardstock, called Nanna's Nursery, and cut each card in half, which was the perfect size! Then I punched holes evenly around the edges, and crocheted a border with a variegated baby yarn.
I bought a pack of rather large glittery green letters...the are kinda puffy and self adhesive. Nice and easy...my motto!!!
I am making each card a different background card, with a letter on each to spell out her name which is CHARLOTTE.
The crochet and the letters unify the whole project. I will run a ribbon through the tops of the crocheted edge of the cards to make the banner. I am thinking I may get that sheer, shimmery ribbon to make a few simple pink bows... I am trying to decide if a bow between each letter would be too much, or just go for a bow at each end?
I like how she will be able to move the letters farther or closer together to make it fit any space. I may have to make a few more banners...some for birthday's around here!!! It is fun and easy...I just make a few letters each night, or whenever I feel like it.
Here is what I am thinking of giving her for the rest of her gift. A giant box filled with nothing but diapers and wipes!!!!! Wouldn't that be fun???

If I got a giant box of diapers and wipes, I would be confused, but maybe a new mother would be pleased. :)
I think what you're making will be one cute bunting! And it's very thoughtful of you!
WOW...you and I have both been working on baby room projects. I love this, Julie...I especially like the crochet border. Well done! She is sure to LOVE it ~ :)
This is a great idea. You could tie knots at each letter and then bows on both ends....?
Love the idea of card and crochet together. It looks great!
Julie,
I just love your banner. I bought that same paper stack and just love it. I used it on one of my minis and cards and I think you will have a lot of fun creating some neat work with it. That will be a banner to cherish for a long time. Sounds like an amazing gift box.
have a crafty weekend. : )
Oh Julie, that is totally adorable. She is going to be thrilled with it.
Is O for Okra? Lol. I couldn't resist. Teehee
You can crochet too!!! Wow, I think this gal will love this. Beautiful. It is always fun to have something personalized.
I think the baby banner is really cute and I love the name Charlotte. Diapers and wipes are sure to come in handy!
I love this project Julie! It is going to be so cute. I think a bow in between each letter would be awesome.
I love the idea of the banner Julie, it is so different, and very easy to make.
So, So Cute!!!!
