Organic Baby Gift Boxes




This week I've been working on some of my new ideas... one is gift boxes for newborns from lovely soft organic cotton. It's always hard to find a nice gift for a newborn. My first box contains a hat, booties, a receiving rug and a tee shirt, all in pure, soft organic cotton. I used recycled fabrics for the applique and the trims. So not only good for baby, but good for the planet. Don't we love that!

Still working on the boxes... my prototype is made from recycled paper with leaves and flowers pressed into the paper.... I'm desiging the labelling and the colors for now. Just realized how hard it is to take professional photo's of a product like this... let me know what you think of them!

  1. Oh I love this! So adorable. And white is so nice. Rather than the cliché pink, blue or yellow. Love it!

  2. I'm still umming and aahing about the applique... I like the tone on tone cream only one..... but using scraps is cute too... and lots of fun trying out different combinations of fabric.
