I began at Target, and replaced Swaddlers for the Target brand infant diapers (I'm a teacher, you know!) and replaced the milk/formula bottle with a baby powder bottle.
Instead of using pins to keep the ribbon around the diapers, I used a hot glue gun (favorite crafty item) to secure the ribbon's ends, without glueing the ribbon to the diaper!
So, here's the final product!
I also need to bring a snack, so I thought about a pacifier-shaped snack. I've seen the LifeSaver treats, but they aren't edible. I began to think about a chocolate covered pretzel with an M & M, but couldn't figure out the loop. While at Target...I saw Twizzler Pull n Peel's, and thought it would be perfect! Target was also out of almond bark, so I subbed in white chocolate chips.
I melted the chocolate chips with some blue food coloring in a double boiler. While waiting for the chips to melt, I cut up the Pull n Peels:
The chips didn't melt so well...so I added in a little skim milk. Then it melted! I covered the pretzels in blue chocolate, put them on wax paper, and then put the Pull n Peel on, as well as the M & M. It didn't stick...so I added more chocolate mixture, then tried again! Success! Sloppy, but success! I put them in the fridge to set, and once they were set up, I removed them from the wax paper. This picture is BEFORE they were taken off the first sheet of wax paper, so they're sloppy, but cute:
