Baby Bib: Made from Recycled Food Packaging

In my daily finds today, I came across this idea of making a unique baby bib from recycled food packaging (in this tutorial, a package of Betty Crocker cookies). Here's the tutorial with instructions!Thank you to www.ILuvMoJo.etsy.com (She has a super cute shop at Etsy.com) for permission to use this tutorial.

Recycled Food Packaging Bib Tutorial

You'll need:

• Bib - to make a pattern
• Food wrapper of some kind
• Clear vinyl
• Flannel or Fleece
• Scissors
• Thread
• Velcro or Snap
• Needle and Thread or Sewing Machine

Step 1: Place your bib onto a large piece of paper and trace around it to make a pattern. Cut it out.



Step 2: Place the pattern piece on top of your wrapper to make sure it will work. You can make almost any wrapper work just by cutting it apart and taping it back together in the right shape.

Step 3: When you have your wrapper all ready to go put it on top of your fabric wrong side to wrong side and then place the clear vinyl on top.

Step 4: Pin the pattern on top and cut around it.



Step 5: Remove the pattern and sew around the outer edge of the bib. If you're using a sewing machine this part can be a little tricky, so go slow. ;)



Step 6: Add VELCRO or a snap to make it close and you're all set!
