A perfect up-cycle project that will keep your little one’s shirt dry and free from drool! This is another baby gift that is worth DIY-ing for. So, for those of you who think there aren’t many cute little accessories for baby boys.

Everybody loves dogs, even babies I think! Learn to sew a super cute baby binkie or security blanket that looks like a puppy with free pattern and instructions from The Things We’ll Make. Being for a baby, you need to use a soft, black fabric for the nose, and form the eyes and mouth by hand by stitching them on with black thread. Don’t sew on any plastic eyes or other pieces that could be ripped off and swallowed.

8. Crochet Baby Headband
