A great idea for old baby clothes

Categories: Baby essentials, Kid decor & style

If you're anything like me, you end up with boxes of outgrown baby clothing every few months. With two that are at the top of the height percentile, I'm constantly packing up favorites while trying not to cry about an outfit my child will never wear again.

For the most part, I save a few favorites and then either donate or sell the rest. Friends who are unfortunate lucky enough to have children younger than mine also tend to fare well. But what do I do with the clothes I decided to save? It doesn't seem right to leave them in the closet to gather dust.

While flipping through an older issue of Child Magazine, I found the answer: The Willow Creek Baby Memory Blanket.

The people at Willow Creek will take 16 items of your child's clothing and turn it into a "memory" blanket for $75.00. What a great way to preserve the clothes without keeping them hidden in a box!

I can't wait to have saved up enough items of clothing for each of my kids to make one of them.
