Baby Bottle Cozy

With new mommas growing more and more conscious of the types of items they pick up for baby, plastic baby bottles are going the way of the glass bottle. Great for keeping harmful toxins from plastic out of baby’s system, but not so great for clumsy people (like myself) who stand to drop the bottle or grab it while it’s still hot.

If you know a momma who’s having a shower this spring, chances are she’s registered for some fabulous glass baby bottles, not even thinking about these things. So do her a favor and help her out before she even knows she needs it!

Grab some of your leftovers from your yarn stash and whip up a few of these adorable baby bottle cozies for all the spring baby showers you’ll be attending, and be sure to include a little note with care instructions – as these are made out of cotton yarn, new mommas will appreciate the wash/dry ease of them!

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut

You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.

It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.

I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.

What I Love About This Project:

  • It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.

  • You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.

  • It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).

  • And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.

If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
