Changing Table
Check out this tutorial on how to make a space-saving, crib-top changing table (left) at EdandBrooke.blogspot.com. Requires a bit of cutting, gluing, screwing, sanding, and staining.
Get instructions on how to make a fold-away changing table (right) at DIY network. Do note the “moderate to hard” difficulty level, however.
Bedding
Learn how to make your own fitted crib sheets at the promising-sounding MakeBabyStuff.com. You’ll find patterns and how-tos on making quilts, fleece blankets and more here.
There’s another pattern for fitted crib sheets at Prudent Baby. I love the site’s tag line, “DIYs for Small Fries”. Check it out; you’ll also find out how to make everything from changing pad covers to shoes to bibs.
Mobiles
I’ve got a whole post on DIY mobiles coming up, so check back soon!
