A whole list of them in fact! I put this together for the Sweet Baby Starter Kits site, but thought you might like to see it too. There's a little bit of everything, and nothing's too complicated so it's a good place to start if you're not a confident crafter. I hope you find something you like!
Here's a place to start if you're looking to save some money with diy
baby things. Be creative finding materials; old clothes, scrap yarn,
thrift stores, you'd be amazed what you can come up with!
