Recycled Baby Clothes

Cute Cuddly Creatures

Have you ever felt guilty about throwing out old baby clothes that your little one has outgrown? A mother knows how many adorable outfits are given at showers and birthday parties that your child will only be able to wear a couple of times before they are on to the next size. Of course it is great to donate old baby clothes to Goodwill or pass them down to a younger sibling but what about the treasured little outfits that your baby wore the most? We found a great crafty blog that teaches you how to make a keepsake out of the onesies that hold special memories. Alisa Burke calls it "upcycling" your baby clothes. Burke has a tutorial on making stuffed animals your little one can enjoy and you can remember fondly. Here is an article with more creative and crafty ways to keepsake the memory of your baby's first years that blow the old scrapbook out of the water. Some favorites are a quilt of your favorite clothing items and blankets or a time capsule that your little one can look back on once they're grown. Babyzone.com is a great website for anything parent or baby related!
