Dads-to-be need to feel special too.

All tucked in as snug as a bug in a rug.

Uh-oh…

Time for binky and bottle.

“Burp!”  Ahhh.

Just for fun for the wine connoisseur dad-to-be. 

This gift for the dad-to-be will accompany baby shower cookie favors tied with the baby blue polka dot ribbon and a  mini cupcake tree, which I’ll post next week. 

The tag and pennant were very easy to make. I printed out what I wanted to say and cut it to size and shape and added a backing of blue polka dot card stock to the tag.  I strung the pennant on fuzzy twine.  Hot glued the pennant to the wicker brim of the basket.  Hot glued the polka dot ribbon to the tag. I found the plastic binky embellishment at a scrapbook store which was the second link in the creative process after finding the basket.  To stuff the basket, I crumbled firm craft paper for a base then filled in with blue shredded crinkle paper on top.  Ta-da!

You could also add a binky to the carriage or an old school wine bottle opener but I think the presentation pacifies what I wanted to do for the daddy just the way it is.

Signing off a bit early to getting busy baking!  Have a sweet weekend, friends.
