Wedding Lace Handkerchief DIY Magic Baby Bonnet White Fine Cotton

For an ideal and memorable baby shower gift, why not make a lovely baby bonnet from a simple handkerchief? The hankie-bonnet can be used on the baby’s christening day, then be kept as a keepsake until it is passed down to the bride-to-be as a rite of passage.

The Lace And Linens Co. can provide you with exquisite handkerchiefs that will be both endearing for the baby and elegant for the bride.

Materials:

• Handkerchief
• Ribbon
• Needle and Thread

Instructions:

1. Iron hankie.
2. Fold about 1/3 of the hankie. This should be the back of it.
3. Fold about ¾ of an inch on the opposite side.
4. Stitch across each folded section by the edge, either by hand or machine, whichever you prefer.
5. Take a piece of ribbon and put it through the narrow section. This will be the back opening.
6. Pull both ends of the ribbon as tight as you can and tie it in a bow.
7. Sew a piece of ribbon from each of the front corners.
8. Add a rosette or bow to cover the stitching and decorate it to your liking.
