Burp Cloths

These  burp cloths are "sew" simple! 

 A new cloth diaper transformed into a cute and inexpensive gift.

I enjoy making these for baby showers

~One can never have too many burp cloths!!!~

Some of the ribbon used was left over from previous projects and the rest was found on sale.

I unfolded the cloth and laid it flat. Then pinned  the ribbon onto the burp cloth where I thought looked good.  Next, sewed around all edges of the ribbon using a straight stitch on the sewing machine. This burp cloth is made using two ribbons. A wide ribbon on the bottom with a thinner ribbon sewn on top.

This animal ribbon is just adorable!!

I tried to use ribbon that was cute and yet boyish!  (This is a challenge for me since girly items are so cute and fun)

After uniformly folding the burp cloths, I bundled them together using a silky, mint green ribbon to make them more personal and "gifty".  This set was used as a gift for a friend's precious baby boy!!

THE PACKAGE: I used a brown paper bag and strategically cut down the length of the bag making several strips that are still attached. Then curled the strips using scissors ( just like is done for curling ribbon). I did this not knowing the outcome. It made a perfect nest for the bird card I made!
