Lay out one square, and to that square, place a square to each side. You’ll want to start by cutting six (6) 5 inch squares in a variety of prints (minky dot, quilters cotton, etc). These blocks directly above were done with just basic fabric scraps in coordinating colors.

The blocks far above used a few different prints of quilters flannel along with cuddle fabric that was leftover from this homemade minky cudddle blanket. The containers were rather small, so I opted to use popcorn kernels in them to serve as a rattle when you shake – since the container screws on tight, and the container would be sewed into the block, there isn’t any risk of mishap.Ĭhoose fabrics that will go well together – I have made many sets of baby blocks and I always try to use what I have, but mix up the fabrics to provide a great sensory experience. I had a box of lip gloss containers that I picked up on Amazon (20 for $5) some time back – the lids screw on tight and I thought they would be the perfect size. If you have a sewing machine, and some scraps, and can sew a simple line then you can tackle this project. Go a step further and add a rattle inside a few of the blocks or some texture for them to spark creativity. You can make baby blocks with flannel, leftover minky (for some texture) or regular cotton fabric. time.Ī set of 4 or 5 baby blocks is a project that anyone can do over the course of the afternoon – and such a great way to use up fabric scraps.

I love to give a nice beautiful homemade minky cuddle blanket, burp cloths and baby blocks – but sometimes I’ll even gift a homemade baby diaper and wipes holder because that’s something that I find myself using all. One of the best gifts you could give to family and friends that have had a new baby are personalized, handmade gifts. I love babies in general – in fact… I have 5 of my own and I would gladly jump for joy if my husband said he wanted another. Celebrating a new baby in the family is always an exciting time.
