5 Cute DIY Baby Bibs For Crafty Moms!

Learn How to Make Baby Bibs

Babies drool… sometimes a lot. If you don’t want to have to change their clothes every time they gurgle up some spit, it’s best to outfit them in a bib. Store-bought bibs will do just fine, but if you want to go the extra mile, making your own DIY baby bibs is the way to go!

With a DIY bib, you can add some style and personality to the bibs. It’s always a good idea to have multiple as well since you’ll have to wash them after they get gooped on. Check out these unique DIY bibs below!
