The Best Type of DIY Baby Projects for Every Zodiac Sign
Aries DIY Baby Project
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Aries babies are often leaders. They can be first-borns who bring out their parents’ competitive side (and don’t like being ignored). Active and quick-witted, they thrive on physical activity and can be difficult to keep up with.
Aries is a fire sign, and as such, Aries babies are fiery little people—they’re stubborn (“What’s that? You say I have to take a nap?”) and don’t like being told what to do. They need plenty of baby-proofed space to explore independently (we’d suggest a playpen) because they want to do things their own way.
Aries are ruled by Mars, so expect them to be impatient with everything from getting dressed in the morning for preschool (“I said I wanted the pink shirt!”) or waiting for an hour at lunch before eating (“I’m hungry now!”).
For this firey baby, I suggest making a flame shirt!!
Materials Needed
- A shirt the size of your cutie
- Heat Press
- Cricut Maker
- Red HTV
- Yellow HTV
- Black HTV
Taurus DIY Baby Project
If you’re a Taurus, you’ve got a baby on the way! This is an exciting time for you.
One thing that’s great about Tauruses is how laid-back and stable they are. If you’re getting excited to make some DIY projects for your bundle of joy, here are some ideas to try out.
Taurus people are known for being strong and stubborn (in a good way). It might be easy to think that these traits could lead to bullheadedness, but as a Taurus, you know how much it actually means to stay determined in the fight for what’s right. Your child will surely get this from you! While being strong and determined is great, what makes the most admirable quality in Tauruses is their ability to be grounded and practical. You have such a practical mind that no problem or situation can phase or faze you—even with parenting!
The perfect grounded baby is these cute cloud lights.
Materials Needed
- 1/8 inch wood of choice
- Glowforge or laser cutter
- hand held sander
- led light
Gemini DIY Baby Project
Gemini (May 21-June 20) is the third sign of the zodiac, and its symbol is the twins. People born under this sign are known for their natural curiosity, intelligence, and social skills. Gemini is also a very restless sign, often taking on too much at once and then regretting it later. That kind of hyperactivity can be hard to rein in when you’re a parent, but with a few DIY projects, you can stay busy while your baby naps or quietly plays with toys on his own. Read on to learn more about the best DIY’s for Gemini moms!“`
Cancer DIY Baby Project
Give your little crab a homemade blanket to keep them cozy. Cancer the crab is a water sign, so you’ll want an easy-care fabric that’s not too fussy. We love this baby blanket pattern—it’s brilliant for beginners and only takes a couple of minutes to make on your embroidery machine.
Leo DIY Baby Project
Leo is a fire sign, so it makes sense that this zodiac sign would be the type to create a DIY baby project that really stands out. Leo’s are known for being bold and courageous, and their confidence allows them to make statements with their decorating choices. They love making bold statements to show others how creative they are. They enjoy standing out from the crowd and being admired by others, which should influence any decision they make in choosing a project for their baby’s room.
For your Leo friends’ kid, we suggest building an heirloom-quality cradle affixed with large wheels and rubber tires like those used on race cars. The wheels will allow you the flexibility to move the crib around just in case you want to try different locations or get it away from sunlight streaming through nursery windows throughout the day.
The cradle could be shaped into a car or otherwise adorned with automotive flourishes like chrome lug nuts on each leg of the crib (the corners where all four legs meet) and an oversized license plate as decoration on one side of the bed’s “bumper.”
Virgo DIY Baby Project
As an earth sign, Virgos are known for being practical and intelligent. This definitely applies to your baby, especially with their zodiac symbol representing a virginal maiden carrying a sheaf of wheat. They will be quick learners and know exactly what they want.
To keep up with their smarts, it’s important that you choose activities that are practical. Think about how you can combine the current trends in art and crafts with ways to save money or empower your kid at an early age. For example, you can make them custom jeans using old pairs that don’t fit anymore! Or if they enjoy having you read books to them, try making puppets out of socks in order to act out the story in front of a mirror together!
Libra DIY Baby Project
Libras love harmony, beauty, and balance. Libras also like to be in the middle of things. They’re social people who enjoy being around others. The element of air is associated with Libra. The planet Venus rules Libra and the color blue is associated with this sign, as well as a few other colors like pink and gold.
If you’re having a baby born during or near this time of year, consider these suggestions for DIY baby projects based on your child’s zodiac sign:
- A mobile made from balloons in shades of blue is perfect for them, since it moves and makes noise when it brushes against the side of their crib. Studies show that babies prefer objects that move rhythmically to still objects (VanderWerff). Balloons are light and float through the air, so they’ll be mesmerized by one! Plus each balloon can have something written or painted on it that represents something meaningful to you as parents: names of family members, places you’ve lived together, or dates important to your relationship as a couple
Scorpio DIY Baby Project.
Scorpios:
Your child is a tiny scorpion. I know, everyone knows it. You’ve been talking about how your baby will be a scorpion for months. No one was surprised when you gave birth in the woods at night and walked out holding a swaddled little stinger tail. But what can you do with all those extra scorpions? Scorpions are born as live births in autumn and can comfortably live inside if they have enough light and water. So why not try to make them into something more? Sure, everyone loves their little baby scorpions, but people might love them even more if they were useful! Here are some fun DIY ideas to turn your little scuttlers into something more than just cute pets—while also giving them a chance to get out of the house and learn valuable survival skills along the way.
Sagittarius DIY Baby Project.
Sagittarius is a fire sign, which means you’re bold, spontaneous, and a little wild. You like to get out there and explore; you love adventure. Your baby needs an adventurous nursery that allows them to have their own little adventures on their own turf.
Your DIY Baby Room Project: Adventure Kit
What They Need: A basket full of fun items like stuffed animals, books, plush toys, flashlights, and anything else you can think of that will fuel your baby’s imagination.
Why They Need It! Your baby might not be able to go on real adventures quite yet (bummer!), but they’ll have the ability to go wherever their minds take them with this adorable bedtime basket filled with goodies that’ll help them travel to imaginary lands while they’re drifting off into dreamland.
Capricorn DIY Baby Project.
If you are trying to create a nursery for a Capricorn baby, then you are probably a good candidate for this DIY project that will allow your Capricorn to explore the world from their crib.
In order to make this DIY mobile, you will need:
- Scissors
- Cardstock (any kind of paper will work)
- A stapler or tape
- String or yarn
- Two dowels or sticks that can fit into your crib rails
- The first step is to create the shapes and characters that will be on your mobile. The best way to do this is by tracing their shape onto the paper and cutting it out. You can also download templates online if you want something more specific than just shapes. If you want to give them even more character, draw faces or other special features and attach it with tape or glue. Make sure they are all roughly the same size and don’t go too overboard with how many characters there are; 2 – 5 should be plenty! 2. Next up is attaching string so that each character can hang from above. You want them high enough that they won’t be hit by little hands while still being low enough they can see them all easily! 3. Attach two dowels or sticks together using either staples or tape and slide it across the top of your crib rail at an angle so it comes down closer to your baby’s head when he/she gets placed in there for bedtime! 4. Tie each hanging piece of string onto one of the dowels so they hang down over their sleeping spot!
Aquarius DIY Baby Project.
Aquarius, the eleventh sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by the water-bearer. Aquarius is an air sign, and these babies are independent and thoughtful. Their fixed nature means they like to stick to family traditions, but also love to experiment with new ideas and make their own rules. Aquarian babies will be some of your most imaginative little ones yet—but they may also be challenging with their need for independence. You’ll want to give them lots of stimulation so they can discover new things on their own terms!
Our pick: Some DIY baby food that you can whip up in a jiffy.
We know what you’re thinking: “Is pureeing a whole avocado really a DIY project?” Well… not really, no. But it’s still fun and useful! This recipe from Parents Magazine yields enough dip for multiple servings—so if you do happen to have more than one babe around at once (or if you want leftovers for yourself!), it’s perfect. Plus, you can use the extra dip as an ice cream topping or even as fish taco sauce if you’re feeling adventurous!
Pisces DIY Baby Project.
If you’re a Pisces then you know this is the sign of artists and dreamers. Pisces babies are the most creative and intuitive of the entire zodiac. They enjoy artistic activities and spending time with their parents creating art projects.
A Pisces baby would love a DIY Baby Project that encourages creativity, teaches them something new, and is fun to make. Here are some great ideas that meet all those criteria:
- Fabric wall hangings
- Paint-by-numbers canvas paintings
- Braided-rope art pieces
No matter the season or the occasion, there is a DIY project that fits it. The same could be said for bringing home a baby. Whether you’re celebrating your own bundle of joy or showering an expecting friend with gifts, there are many DIY projects that are great for babies.
But in order to pick one, we have to figure out what project suits us best. Luckily, we have stars and planets on our side to help us choose! Check out these zodiac baby projects so you can make sure you pick the right one for you.
