Merriment :: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Burp Cloths by Kathy Beymer at MerrimentDesign.com

Here’s an easy, fun and practical gift for new arrivals: Planes, Trains and Automobiles burp cloths. Friends Tamara and Jon recently welcomed Lucas, little brother to adorable Sienna, and I made these especially for him.

Now while this craft has little to do with the classic movie, the idea of using it as a theme made me smile anyway. I reused my airplane shape for this project and drew two new shapes for the car and train. One sewn, I rolled each burp cloth and wrapped with an orange satin ribbon.

Del Griffith would be proud.

Del: “Yes. Yes sir I do.”
