Small items and money really benefit from containers that don't immediately give away their contents like those velvet clamshells jewelry boxes or dollar shaped greeting cards do. Some of my favorite projects are: -a trangular pyramid formed by folding a triangle shaped piece of paper. -2 different colored heart shaped boxes that fit together to form a square with an 'S' curve between 2 opposite corners (think a diamond shaped yin-yang symbol). -a flower box where folded paper forms a triangular cone on the bottom and a flower design on the top (a pink and white one are in the lower middle of the cover photo). -a hexagonal box made of six individual triangular boxes. -boxes specifically for food items, many with handles. -boxes for floral items, some with handles. These are just a few of many, many projects in this book. The first section of the book contains color photos of the finished projects and the rest of the book contains the instructions (with photos,diagrams and measurements) to make them. The diagrams can be photocopied to scale a project up to a required size. AN IMPORTANT WARNING: The bulk of the projects don't contain step by step instructions. Immediately following the color photo section are step by step instructions for 5 boxes that are represenative of all of the projects in the book. A legend is given for what the thick or thin solid lines and dashed lines mean in the diagrams. All projects thereafter assume that you know to cut thick lines, but to fold thin lines like a valley withought being explicitly directed to do so. Confused? Well, if a project required you to fold a piece of paper so that it opens like a book read from left to right, you would be shown a drawing of a square or rectangle with a thin line in the middle. There would also be a black and white photo of a piece of folded paper with the folded portion on the left side. If you didn't remember that thin lines mean you fold paper to open in a 'V' shape, you would have trouble. It's crucial that you do the step by step projects and learn the legend if you haven't done origami or similar crafts. If you think you'd need more guidance, this probably isn't the book for you. If you do get the book, Enjoy! It's a real treat. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) Listmania! Ultimate Gift Cards, Tags and Wrap Reference Guide : A list by J.

They are usually full of love and joy and you get to look at lots of cute baby clothes. I also love to give baby shower gifts. I think it's a lot of fun to put together something special for every new little one. Sometimes I go and pick out things from a gift registry that I think the mother will enjoy or something that has made my days as a mother easier or more interesting. Though my favorite thing to do is to make something for the new baby. Here are a couple of ideas for quick and easy gifts for mom and baby, regardless of the sex of the baby or the theme of the shower! Gift Basket I usually choose a large, hollow item to fill with little things. A diaper pail or an infant bath tub are inexpensive and work very nicely. If you're looking for something smaller, try a bathroom bucket/caddy. It's also great for carrying the baby's small bath items around. You can stick with the bath theme and fill it with bath items. Here are some examples: Soap Lotion Towels Rubber Duck (with or without thermometer) Wash cloths Brush and Comb Some people prefer the health and safety approach for this gift. Some ideas for that category include: Thermometer First Aid Kit Electrical Plug Covers Finger Nail Clippers Emergency Aid Cards Child Proofing Book Door Locks Diaper Cream Infant Fever Reducer I also have days where eceltic is my style. Here are some other gift items that go well in these types of gifts: Diapers Rattles Onsies Toys Baby Books Nursing Pads Bottles Bibs You really don't have to spend very much on these gifts, most are a dollar or two each. You can also find some nice, but inexpensive baby toys at dollar stores everywhere, including bibs! If you don't have a large hollow tub or bucket you can also do a fancy party bag. Some people choose to individually wrap each gift, while attractive it can take a long time. I always put tissue on the top and let mom sort through as quickly as she likes. Diaper Cake This item is for those who are a bit more talented, though with practice it shouldn't be too difficult! The results are a delighful looking "cake" made of diapers and toys. Items you will need: Diapers (large pack of disposables or 12 cloth) Cardboard (Some choose to use a bottle of infant laundry soap.) Small gifts (rattles, toys, teethers, brush, etc.) Clear Tape or Rubber Bands Ribbons Cake "Topper" (Usually a small stuffed animal, can be left off.) Directions: Use the cardboard or laundry soap as a base, wrap diapers around it to form a bottom cake "layer." You can secure the diapers with tape or rubber bands. Start a second "layer" making it smaller than the first. You can do as many layers as you would like, I've only done two, but I have seen three done. When you're done with that you can take your smaller items and tie them up with ribbon and tuck them into the layers of the diaper folds, making them appear as if they are a part of the cake. If you'd like secure a small stuffed animal on top of the cake as a topper. This makes a great gift as well as a center piece for a shower. It was a lot of fun to do, but it took two people to make it look right. Important disclaimer information about this About site.
