These are the easiest home made baby gifts to make for baby showers, newborns, and new mothers. You’ll love these pictured instructions and full tutorials on how to make these adorable home made baby gifts.

Easiest Baby Gifts To Make

1.  Onesie Cupcake Tutorial ~ If you are giving onesies at a baby shower, why not present them as cupcakes in a cute basket?  Complete them with hair bow “toppings”.

2.  Wet Bag Tutorial ~ Wet bags are perfect for storing soiled diapers, wet undies, or a wet swim suit.  Well, anything wet that you want to keep separate in your diaper bag.  You can easily make one with either laminated cotton or oil cloth and a zipper.

3.  Luxe Lovey for Baby {tutorial} ~  This lovey blanket is not only a cute and portable baby-sized blanket it is also comforting for baby.  The mother is supposed to sleep a couple of nights with the lovey to imbue it with her scent, and then give it to baby so that baby will be comforted by it when mommy is in the other room sleeping, or away for an hour or two. So it’s soft and cuddly and portable, and smells like mom–perfect!

4.  Roll-up Diaper Changer {free pattern} ~ This roll-up diaper changing pad has a pocket for storing wipes, diapers and a change of clothes.  The changer rolls up neatly to store in a diaper bag or purse.  It’s made with a vinyl table cloth which is perfect for wiping up leaks and spills.  Plus it’s affordable – the vinyl table cloth was only $5!

5.  Pacifier Pocket {free pattern} ~ This fabulous pacifier pocket not only keeps the binky clean, but also at hands reach.  You can snap it to a diaper bag, purse, stroller or even the infant carrier.

6.  Decorative Wash Cloths ~ Make your own adorable decorative wash cloths from store bought wash cloths and scraps of flannel.  Each wash cloth costs about $.50.  Pair them with some baby wash or even a bath tub and toys for the perfect shower gift.

7.  Baby Bundle Tutorial ~ Make a gorgeous blanket, bib and burp cloth set with just two yards of soft flannel.  A perfect baby shower gift!

8.  Portable Growth Chart {How-To} ~ I love marking the growth of the kiddos (man it happens fast!), but it’s always a sad day when you move and those little ticks you made in the door frame can’t come with you.  Instead, make this cute chart out of jute fabric and you can store it, display it, and/or take it with you when you go.  It would also be a fun memento to give the kids when they are grown.  Maybe they will want to add their children someday too!

9.  Travel Chair {How-to} ~ Dining out just got easier with this fabric travel high chair!  You can easily make one from a thrifted bedspread, ottoman cover or bed sheet.  Folds up small enough to fit into a diaper bag.
