Project #1 - Clothespin Drop - For Amos
I got this idea from this website. All I needed was a clean 2-liter bottle, clothespins, paper towel, and package tape. I happened to have all those on hand. I cut out a square at the bottom of the pop bottle and padded the sharp edges with paper towel. I want to add some fun duct tape, but that I will have to get at the store. Amos and Asher caught onto the concept really fast and sat and played with them for quite a while this morning!
Project #2 - Upgrade the Moby - This one is for Baby Brother
Neither of these were original ideas. Here's the detailed tutorial for this one. When Amos was born, my mom had heard of a cheap and easy way to make a "Moby" wrap from jersey. All you need is 6 yards of jersey material cut in half (so it makes at least two). It worked perfect for Amos and was one of my favorite ways to wear him. Yesterday I spotted this tutorial on Pinterest and knew I could do it. All I did was add a colorful panel to the middle of my pretty plain gray wrap. It took about 40 minutes from start to finish. Best part was, I already had a ton of material to choose from because of all of Amos' weekly pictures! I tried putting Amos in it, but he's a little big, and I'm a little big, so you'll have to wait for finished pictures until Baby Brother comes a long!
Oh these are GREAT ideas!!! Also I believe I have all the supplies here at my home :-) my son Judah would love it
