Homemade Christmas Gifts: Cute Burp Cloths

Cute burp cloths? I know it sounds a little strange but they are very fun, easy, and (if you find a sale) cheap! This would be a great gift to give to someone who has a baby. Maybe this baby is your niece, nephew, granddaughter, grandson, sister, brother, someone you babysit for, or just someone you are trying to bless!  Here are some pictures of the ones I have made recently.

These two are probably my favorite! I love the fabric!

This one cost under $2 to make because of great sales going on at Joann’s for Veteran’s Day!

I think this one is so adorable! I love the little turtles!

The fabric for this one was also on sale!

I think this one is cute too!

Direction for making two of these:

1. Find a sale at a local Fabric store and look through and find one pattern of fabric that you like. Then find a striped or solid color fabric to complement the first one. Purchase 1/4 of a yard of each fabric.
2. Cut out two layers of each fabric into a rectangle. Then cut a circle out of each fabric. Hem and pin the fabric together.
3. Choose a color of thread that matches and start sewing.
4. When you are done, choose whether you would like to embroider something on the circle (See the 1st burp cloth) If you decide to do so, choose a design and embroider it on. When you are done, place the circle where you want it on the cloth. I do this freehand but, you can for sure pin the circle on if you desire.
5. Now you are done! Congratulations!
