peru travel: DIAPER WREATH ~ I'm goin' to a baby shower!!

Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in a girl's life! For all her friends, the shower is a way to celebrate this exciting time.

I have a dear friend?she's Daughter #1's fourth grade teacher. She was also Son #3 & Son #4's teacher, too. She?is expecting her first baby.?I think I'm more excited for this baby than the mom. Okay, maybe not, but shopping for her little baby boy-to-be?is making me pretty darn excited!!

The class threw her a surprise baby shower!

It's a diaper wreath. How cool is that??!!

So off to Target and AC Moore I went.

I bought a wreath holder.

I also bought a pack of diapers, different patterned ribbon, a wooden letter L(for the baby's first name), and a fun assortment of baby items. I wanted to keep with a blue theme so everything has some blue on it.

I wrapped the diapers around the wreath holder with rubberbands.

I then wrapped thin blue ribbon around the rubber bands into bows. At every third diaper, I tied an "It's a Boy" ribbon along with each small baby item I bought. I tied a large blue and teal ribbon on the top of the wreath and added the white wood L letter to the ribbon.
