Instructions

  1. Small 110857 2f2015 09 06 031901 onesie%2bbaby%2bshower%2bgift1

    Gather all of your supplies. You will need: - Onesie. Newborn or 3 months fit the best - Mini Chinese takeout container - Patterned paper - Printable fortunes - Ribbon - Scissors, tape, hot glue, pencil

    First, roll the onesie to fit inside the takeout container. Fold the onesie into thirds and tightly roll it up. It should fit perfectly in the takeout box.

  3. Small 110857 2f2015 09 06 031924 onesie%2bbaby%2bshower%2bgift8

    Place the onesie inside the takeout box.

    Decorate the takeout container with ribbon. Tape one end of the ribbon to the back of the box and tightly wrap it around the container and tape in place. I chose to tape the ribbon to the back of the container rather than the bottom so the box would sit level. I added a ribbon bow to the front of the container.

    To make the fortune cookie, start by cutting a circle out of decorative paper.

  6. Small 110857 2f2015 09 06 031957 onesie%2bbaby%2bshower%2bgift5

    Lightly fold the circle in half and then pinch the ends together. I had to lift the top layer of my half-circle over the bottom in the back to keep it from buckling.

  7. Small 110857 2f2015 09 06 032006 onesie%2bbaby%2bshower%2bgift4

    Add a dot of hot glue to keep the fortune cookie together in the center.

    Add a fun fortune! You can create your own or download a free printable from my blog. I wrote fortunes that would be appropriate for an expecting mother. I also customized the "lucky numbers" usually found on the bottom of a fortune with the expectant mother's due date.

    Attach the fortune cookie to the top of the takeout box with a dot of hot glue or tape. Fold the fortune and slide it inside the fortune cookie.

    You can add embellishments to the top of the takeout container like charms or bows.
