Coolest Clothespin Baby Shower Favor

I am throwing a baby shower for a friend who is expecitng a boy. I thought throwing a baby shower would be fun & inexpensive. Boy, was I wrong so along with decorations, food, gifts, & prizes for the games I decided to create my own favors.

Here is my Clothespin baby shower favor design:

If you are experienced at preparing mentally for a party, you know time is all you need to brainstorm for the event. I am frugal & crafty. My idea is using basic clothespins from a cheap store like The Dollar Tree. Depending on the sex or theme you are doing the perfect color is then chosen. You paint each pin first.



I bought an acrylic paint at Michaels or Walmart. Look for sales in the paper or check the clearance aisles often. I chose to use a metallic ice blue color which was only fifty cents. I also bought a thin roll of (clearance) curling ribbon that said Congratulations in multi colors & made a small bow and glued it to the pin with a glue gun. I then purchased minature ceramic baby figures & glued them on top of the bow that is on clothespin. The figures I used was a set of twenty four and it was under $7.00.

If baby figure is hard to find the first letter of either baby or parent can be used for the center of the bow also. You can use the sticky foam letters. This project was under $10.00 & unique. If you enjoy doing crafts and plan accordingly this favor is for you!

I am happy to share my Clothespin baby shower favor ideas with others and hopefully it will help other who are looking for a Boy baby shower.
