Anyone know how to make a unique baby carriage centerpiece out of towels?
Anyone know how to make a( centerpiece for a baby shower) baby carriage out of towels/basket?
I seen it somewhere, where someone made a pram/carriage out of towels. The wheels were made out of washclothes/hand towels, also the handle. I think the “carriage look” design was made with 2 oval baskets covered w/towels, then filled w/baby goodies. How were the wheels and everything put together?
5 Green Face washers
4 Pink Face washers
2 White bath towels
1mt Ribbon
Pins
1 Wire coat hanger
Wheels:
Take 1 face washer fold it into quarters length ways and roll it up tightly. Secure with a rubber band. Wrap a second face washer around the rolled up wheel and begin winding it around. Secure with pins.
Handle:
Fold the face washer diagonally to form a long length. Secure with pins.
Base:
Fold two towels into quarters length ways. Roll one up to form a coil. Add then add the second towel and continue winding it around the first coil. This becomes your solid base. Shape it into an oval with your hands. Don’t secure the outer layer just yet as you tuck the wire underneath that layer.
Canopy:
Take a wire coat hanger and bend it into a circle. You can remove the wire hook with pliers or just tuck it underneath the base. The wire will support the towel.
Slide the wire over the base. Wrap the outer layer of the base coil over the wire and continue to wrap the base coil. Secure with pins.
Drape The hand towel over the wire hanger and tuck it under the base. Secure the towel to the wire with pins by forming a hem around the wire.
Decorating:
Add the handle by securing it with a few pins. Add the wheels to sides and secure with pins.
Tie a large ribbon around the base. Add any other embellishments you like, such as lace, flowers etc.
You are only limited by your imagination.
We finished it off by just adding a teddy bear, but you could add baby supplies or just about anything.
You could place the pram onto a cake base, or cardboard base for stability when transporting it.

Baby in a Basket $3.48 A true-life adventure story illustrated in shimmering watercolor. It was mid-winter in the year 1917 when Marie Boyer and her two small daughters left Fairbanks,Alaska. In a sleigh pulled by six huge horses, they, along with two other passengers and the sleigh driver, set out on an estimated ten-day journey to a seaport where they were to board a ship and sail south to Seattle. Three-year-old Betty and four-month-old baby Ann were bundled against the cold. They traveled throughout the day and stopped nights at small lodges along the trail. Nearing the Delta River, in stormy weather, the horses bolted,plunging the sleigh through the ice that covered the river, scattering passengers and their belongings in every direction. Baby Ann, in a small basket piled high with furs, vanished. Will she be found? Here unfolds an exciting tale of hardship and survival in the wilderness, based on a true story illustrated in dramatic detail by Ted Rand. Gloria and Ted Rand, husband and wife team, have collaborated on a number of books. |
