Everyday Beautiful Tip: Use Fabric Details for a Simple Shower

I recently helped host a simple baby shower for an old friend and college roommate! It was fun to put a few details together for the small group. I might be biased but fabrics are a fun and inexpensive way to coordinate all the little details for a shower or party. Lines of fabric are made to match so pick a line and easy-peasy. I went with fabrics that coordinated with the baby room colors. Vintage mint, pink and brown from the Just Dandy line in the Fabric Shoppe! First I made this simple pendant banner to use for decoration at the shower which then the new mama could take home for the baby room. We held the shower at Turtle Bread Co in Minneapolis. Yummm!  

I also made a orange sugar scrub as a favor for the girls attending! Baby food jars are perfect {and cheap or free}. All you need is sugar, a light oil{i used light olive oil} and an essential oil of your choice.There are natural alpha hydroxy's in sugar so it makes your skin look and feel amazing! Just mix up till you like the consistancy and add essential oils until you like the smell! You don't even need a recipe. Honestly!

Add fabric and twine to the jars for instant cuteness!

I wrapped the gifts in plain brown craft paper then taped a strip of leftover fabric  around it attaching it on the bottom with packing tape. Then just add a bit of twine to finish it off. 

The banner got a little wrinkled in transit but still *ADORABLE*. 

Favors and cake!

Really simple details that were inexpensive and easy to do! I probably used less than a yard total of fabric. Great deal considering it covered decor, favors and gift wrap! A fat quarter bundle from your favorite line would work perfectly for projects like these. You may want 1/4 yard cuts for the wrapping paper project!
