I have been wanting to do this since B was born 2 1/2 years ago and I finally did it!! I love how it came out! I am getting rid of B's clothes in preparation for Baby Girl, but there are some items I just can't bear to give away. I have been trying to come up with creative ways to use some of those emotionally attached items. One way is to have a quilt made with some of his clothing. I definitely plan on doing that but it is very expensive so it will be a little awhile before I can do it.
The other way is to do a shadow box. I decided to use the outfit he wore for his birth announcement, a copy of his birth announcement, and a wooden letter B. I got the shadow box at JoAnns and the wooden letter B at Michael's. I painted the wooden letter B and let it dry. I glued some scrapbook paper in the back of the box. Then I hot glued the outfit, the B, and the birth announcement on to the scrapbook paper. It really was easier and faster than I thought it would be! I will also be making one for Baby Girl! Anyone else have creative ways to show off some of those adorable baby clothes?
