When a new baby comes along one thing is certain, you will always feel as though you never have enough time. Once the baby settles in and a routine can be established you might be blessed with some freetime. If that's indeed the case (Lucky duck!) then here are a few DIY projects that will not only come in handy, but are fun to make. Some of these we've covered here before, some are new...

• Paper Crane Mobile - Easy to make and pretty to look at.


• Sculpey Nature Prints - Bring a little bit of nature into your child's room.


• Homemade Napkins - Fun and functional.


• Slipcover for Bobby - From Economical Baby


• Make Your Own Blinds - From Two Straight Lines


• Etsuko Furuya Nursery Mural - From Craftzine


• Homemade Pillows - Use leftover fabric for these small pillows
