New Baby Feet Gift Basket – Baby Shower Gift Idea

This adorable basket is a great gift for a baby shower or new arrival gift.

What you will need to create the gift:

Felt in pink, white, blue or some other pastel color
Scissors
Printed Template (found below)
Thread to match the color felt you chose
Sewing needle
Straight Pins
Basket
Tissue Paper
Small baby foot related items such as: little pairs of socks, baby toenail clippers, nail file, some small soaps gentle enough for baby, some feet rattles and the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss

To create the booties, cut out the template and use the straight pins to attach it to the felt. Cut out the felt around the template. Use a simple straight stitch to hand sew the booties together. The edges of the felt should match up. There will be some buckling in the but when you complete the bootie it will be fine. Turn the bootie inside out and decorate it with rickrack or other small items. Attach a button on one of the straps to that it will stay on baby’s foot.

To create the gift basket, put tissue paper in the bottom then place the booties in the center. Put the other items around the booties with the book in the back. Attach a small card with a footprint on it to the basket.
