The Bandanna Bib for a Budget Mom

     If you’re a first time mom and you’re trying to figure out how to squeeze in a tight budget for your baby, you might want to save a few bucks for simple but useful stuff.  Instead of buying those cute expensive bibs, why not try to innovate.  Actually, you can use your good old daddy hankie as a substitute to a bandanna bib.  Just make sure it is thoroughly clean.  Here’s how:

1. Lay the old hankie flat



2.  Fold it at the opposite corners making a big triangle

3.  Fold it once or twice from the triangle’s base depending on the size of the bandanna you desire to make

4.  Let the two end tails of the triangle base meet and try it on your baby.  Use a simple knot on your baby’s nape allowing a snug fit.

There you go, a nicely fitted bandanna for baby for free!  You may also try other designs that would look good with your baby’s outfit.
