New mothers love showing off
their babies, and this usually begins with a birth announcement. If you’re
looking for an opportunity to flex your creative skills and save money, handmade
birth announcements are a great alternative to run-of-the-mill announcements.
A professional design is easy to achieve at home. Use colored craft paper for the border, and glue card stock to the middle. If you’re feeling ambitious, write the details in cursive. You can also print out the information from your home computer, giving your announcements a simple, elegant appeal. Add a small ribbon, or use a calligraphy pen for embellishments if you want to add some flair.
If you want to create fun birth announcements, your options are endless. Look through scrap booking supplies and card stock to find your favorite designs, or buy pre-made announcements to dress up. Trace patterns with stencils, or use sponge paint or stamps to frame your announcement. If you do not want to buy items for painting or stamps, then use colored paper to cut out your own designs.
Expectant and new mothers have enough stress, and birth announcements can be low key but still unique. Use thick colored paper to trace and cut out an item. Onesies, pacifiers, rocking horses, and anything newborn-related is perfect. If you have a theme for your baby's room like baseball, then cut out a bat or make a baseball diamond. The cut outs become festive announcements that are special and eye-catching.
Turn an invitation into a keepsake by making it special. Magnets, coasters, water bottles, buttons, key chains, and more can show off your newborn. While these items can be personalized in a store, kits exist containing many of these items. If you pride yourself on standing out and having the best ideas, these birth announcements are functional and impressive.
You may already have items at home that can be transformed into hassle free announcements. Cut and decorate unused folders, or make over the whole folder so recipients can store baby pictures in it. Newspapers can be edited by cutting together parts to make a new headline that announces a baby, and magazine covers can be altered to look like your baby is on the front cover. Only one design is needed and can be scanned and printed. With these inexpensive household items, you can create memorable, one-of-a-kind announcements.
These ideas work for any skill level and time limit. Plus, these birth announcements will amaze others and are a keepsake for your newest family member.
