Babies LOVE toys that crinkle. Experienced parents know this, and that’s how you’re going to become the hero of the next baby shower that you attend: by gifting some expectant parents that you know with this cute crinkly baby toy, tutorial created by Joy’s Hope.

Not only will you be upcycling a piece of trash into a well-loved second life, but you can also do a good bit of stash-busting here, if you happen to have any soft flannel fabric and bits of ribbon or other trim on hand. Before you know it, you’ll have the best baby shower gift on the planet, and it will have cost nothing to make.

I'm a writer, crafter, Zombie Preparedness Planner, and homeschooling momma of two kids who will hopefully someday transition into using their genius for good, not the evil machinations and mess-making in which they currently indulge. I'm interested in recycling and nature crafts, food security, STEM education, and the DIY lifestyle, however it's manifested--making myself some underwear out of T-shirts? Done it. Teaching myself guitar? Doing it right now.
