Need a simple but meaningful baby shower gift? Here’s what I made:
Moms are busy and can find it difficult to spend a lot of time in the Word, so why not bring the Word to them? With every diaper change they’ll get an encouraging message from God Himself!
Materials Needed:
- 1 Large Basket
- 2 packages of baby diapers (I used packages of 32)
- Address Labels
- A Bible
- A Pen (or printer)
- As you can see above, I wrote out all all the Scripture verses on the address labels rather than typing and printing them. If you don’t have very neat handwriting, you’ll want to print your verses. I wrote out all the verses I used below. Feel free to use the same ones! You can also write encouraging messages on the address labels if you prefer.
- Next, stick one address label toward the top of each diaper and press down along the edges. (You may need to go along the edges a second time to be sure it sticks well).
- Arrange the devotional diapers in the large basket (as demonstrated below).
