1. Easy DIY Baby Booties from Disposable Cups Baby Shower Craft Idea

This is an easy-to-make and budget-friendly disposable cup idea for baby shower favors! Each bootie comes together in just a couple of minutes. We can add more cute details, such as tiny flowers from ribbon instead of a bow. However, additional decor increases the cost. I’ll show you the easiest glue-free method, ensuring the finished booties look neat and complete inside. I am going to show, as an example in my tutorial, the unique baby shower party favors cups for a girl in pink color. However, we can make these booties as gender neutral party favors.

We Need:

2 paper napkins*

2 cups (Size 9 oz)

5/8 inch ribbon**

Scissors

*If you use a bigger cup, use tissue paper as a cover.

**Instead of ribbon we can use a gift curly ribbon.

How To Make Baby Booties from Disposable Cups Tutorial

Place the cup in the middle of the napkin. Roll the second napkin into a ball and place it in front of the cup. Fold 3 sides into the napkin.

2. Fold in the napkin on the front.

3. Tight the bow on the front and the boot is ready. We are going to make the inside of the cup look presentable with the second cup.

4. Cut up 1 inch from the top of the cup.

5. Insert the cup without the top into the boot. The boot inside looks complete and we can fill it with small baby shower favors or candies.

Place a few small items with candies for a fuller gift bootie. This idea is affordable and leaves a lasting impression on your guests!

Cute Touch: Adding Inside Lace to Baby Booties

Add a cute and simple touch to your DIY baby shower favors with a lace effect using a paper doily. I used a 5-inch round paper doily, cut it in half, and placed it inside the bootie for an elegant look. Finish by adding the insert cup for extra support.

It is a small touch but so cute, especially with the white ribbon!

Baby Bootie As Cute Gift Card Holder

The bootie can also be a unique baby shower gift card holder. I put a card in the bootie and it fits in perfectly. Put it in a cellophane gift bag, so the bootie looks visible and it is ready to give as a unique gift!

2. Easy DIY Baby Shower Favor Gift Box with Disposable Cups and Paper Doilies

These are so easy DIY baby shower gift boxes! They are so adorable and made just in a few minutes. We can use this idea for other events as well!

What We Need:

Paper disposable cup

Paper 5″ doily

Curly ribbon

Scissor

Single hole puncher*

*A puncher isn’t necessary but gives a cleaner, more polished hole for a ribbon. Basic one-hole punchers are affordable, often just a few dollars, and last for years. If you don’t have one, wooden sticks or skewers can work, but a puncher gives a neater, more professional finish.
