Christmas Baby Shower Paper Crafts
I wanted the baby shower I hosted for my friend to be fun and festive but didn't want to spend a lot doing it. I think I nailed a cute whimsical feel spending $2 for paper and $4 for favors. I posted about the easy delicious and inexpensive food I served here.
To keep the decor easy, cheap and low-stress I put up all my Christmas decorations then just added a few cute shower-fun whimsical touches!
I made quick cone trees out of printer paper.
Just roll it and glue or tape together.
Trim the bottom so it can stand up flat.
Then paint with polka dots, stripes, chevron or glitter. My kids had fun helping!
I cut out dozens of different sized circles and painted those too. I taped them to cheap curling ribbon and hung them up above my sink.
The paper spirals turned out really cute too. I posted a tutorial on how I made those here.
For a final quick touch I spiral-cut some extra circles then painted polka dots on them.
I spent $4 on the favors- 3 6 packs of pine scented candles and a spool of cute ribbon.
I moved my vase of painted pine cones and cute boxes over to the table to add some height variations.
Games
I don't have pictures but the games we played were so cute. First each person put an index card on their forehead and drew a picture of what they thought the new baby would look like. The mamma-to-be voted on which scribbled mess she like the best and that person won a prize.
Next we played "finish the story". We started the story with "Twas the night before the baby was born..." then we each took a turn writing the next line in the story only seeing what the person before us wrote. We had two stories going and the expectant mommy read each of them out loud to us. We all got a good laugh!
We finished off with presents and lots more chit-chatting.
It was such a nice, low-stress, inexpensive party!
Loved it!
