Cute baby shower ideas!

I had an amazing weekend at my cousin's baby shower, she is having a baby girl and she will be named "Samantha". I was in charge of the decorations (centerpieces and  favors) which is perfect for me because I love arts & crafts!  It was an outdoor baby shower so I had to think of the elements which included bugs, dirt and sun!


I originally wanted to do a pastry table with cupcakes, candy and chocolate covered pretzels in pretty jars however I am glad I did not do that because was 85 degrees Saturday and all of it would have melted it .
So I had to think of practical decorations and I had seen this idea of a diaper cake and wanted to try it out!
I saw some good tutorials on youtube including this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0v_Yzt9-E8

I bought the ribbon and rubber ducky at Walmart and bought the little trinkets as well as the butterflys at the dollar tree. The best part is it doubled as a gift! WIN.

Total cost: $25
