DIY Crinkle Tree

Babies love the noise plastic bags makes. Obviously letting your kid play with plastic bags is unsafe, well at least according to the warning on every bag you can find, and I tend to agree. So I have found that baby toys are having more and more of the crinkle noise to them. Feels like plastic inside the toy. Well that's easy enough.

While on my craft store trip I found this fantastic paper that matched the colors of the owl ribbon I found for the baby shower. So I just had to do another project.

I wanted to use felt to make one of the trees but a stuffed tree lacked appeal. The crinkle-ness would be a perfect touch.

I can’t figure out my sewing machine but felt works just as well with blanket or round stitch. However the only problem with that is that if I sewed plastic with it, it would show on the edges. Solution! Looking at the paper you can see that the trees have a line on the side of the top part. If I made this I would be using colored thread for the accent. This was the perfect place to sew in the plastic discreet and secure. 

Just cut a piece of plastic wrapper, so nice to re-purpose, slightly small then the tree.

Sew in on the one side. On the left you can see the stitch.

Sew side together. Ta-Da. I actually slapped this together pretty fast. I don't thinks it's all that shabby.

Then on the diaper cake it goes. I think it matches nicely. And I used the paper as a card at the top of the cake.
