If you plan to throw a baby sprinkle for a dapper dude on the way, these little man baby shower centerpieces are a great and easy DIY that takes just a few minutes to make!
Start by emptying and cleaning your potato carton. Any carton with the general shape will do, but this was in the cabinet so it was the perfect thing to craft with. Once clean and dry, peel the label off and remove any residue.
Place the circle form onto your craft foam, tracing the shape of the form onto the craft foam with the pencil. Cut out the circle shape from the craft foam.
Hot glue the open-side of the potato container to the circle of craft foam, centering it neatly.
Paint the potato container with the black acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry completely. If you need a second coat, now is the time to do so. Please note that the paint will easily scratch off. If you think that the hat may be roughly handled, you can take this time to add a coat or two of craft sealant. Just make sure it is dry before continuing.
Flip the hat over and cut the center out of the craft foam.
Fill the hat with floral foam, followed by adding the flowers.
Wrap the ribbon around the hat and tie it in a bow, to cover any hot glue visible where the brim hat and the hat body come together.
Download the little man baby shower decoration large circle file and upload it to Cricut Design Space as a print and cut design.
Select "complex" image type. On the next screen, select "continue" and the following screen, select "save as a print and cut project".
Insert the image onto the next screen, then select "make it".
Load the white card stock into your printer and print the project.
Place the printed card stock paper onto your light grip mat as shown on the screen in Cricut Design Space.
Select medium-thickness card stock as the material.
Load the light grip mat into your Cricut cutting machine and tell it to cut.
When the cut is complete, weed the design and, if you want your centerpiece to be two-sided, repeat to make a second design.
Hot glue the Cricut-cut design to the end of the dowel, then insert the dowel into the floral foam. Trim the dowel as desired.
