This is how I came up with the gift basket for the baby shower. Well, I should called it baby bowl since a basket is more expensive to buy. There is a cute bicycle basket included so the mommy can put little things inside. Pictures shown from the initial arrangement to how it was finally done.
All decorations consist of baby wear, wash clothes, mittens and booties. The final picture shown with embroidered towels which I will post later separately.
My friend ordered a bottle of argan oil from me. I googled on how to mail the glass bottle safely and found out a link how some unusual mails had been put into the mailbox (in the US). Among them is a mail made out of plastic bottle. This would be perfect to house a small glass bottle inside. With some padding or fillers, the plastic exterior will protect it.
On further Google-ing on how to make one, this is how it turned out. You make a window on the side and the cover it up with some decorations. It'll be fun for the recipient to guess on how to open up the packaging. Mine was just done with a sticker. 😆
Don't you just love creativity in a person? This is the works of my friend. The door gift, the setting; all matched to a theme!
She found the tins at unexpected places. Made up the handle to look like a luggage. The setting consists of scrapbook pages with travel themes and maps. The 'luggage' tins used to store a personalised business card. Love it! And all the years that I had known her, her events were so much fun to attend to..
The back is actually a collage of picture printed onto a card and cut to the size.
The table setting..matched up the cake of the day..a red velvet cake!
Anis tak puas hati, dia pi tukar aising purple kat atas donut dia..sekurang2 sekarang donut ni dia yang siapkan sendiri semuanya. Sebelah tu Angah hasilkan keratan belimbing dan aiskrim. Katanya nak gantung kat handphone.
Burger dan aiskrim lagi..
Ada pie kecil dan mini donut..
Cantik kan pai ni? Dengan strawberry lagi tu..
Roll cake..
Pagi esoknya tengok Angah punya kek pandan dah siap! Angah letak aising dengan strawberry..
Minggu selepas tu, Makwe bawa kain felt dan buku2 craft felt Jepun dan Taiwan tuk Angah buat. Ni Anis nak try sama..Untuk permulaan, Makwe suruh buat donut dulu. Ajarkan Angah jahitan mana (blanket stitch, running stitch) nak gunakan untuk tangkup kepingan2 felt tu.. Ni Anis sebelum..selepas ni dah merungut sbb jahitan tak menjadi dan dah nangis2 tak sabar..hahaha
Ni hasilnya..yummy! Aki kata kalau jual 'samah' (50sen) laku ni..hehehe
Ni Anis punya..makwe jahitkan manik untuk dia..dan Andah jahitkan icing tu tapi Anis siapkan donut tu sendiri. Tengok lan jahitannya..ni pun selepas Makwe ajar sembat biasa aje kat dia..
Ni Angah punya..cantik, halus dan kemas..
Malam tu Makwe pun cuba sekali..terhasil la kek lapis coklat ni..nk buat letak pin.
