Curtail your future furniture expenses by purchasing a well-made convertible crib. Many secondhand sites and consignment stores sell expensive, barely-used baby convertible cribs for a fraction of the cost compared to a department store or boutique. Order Last Year’s Themes.

For the Mommas

SEPTEMBER 28, 2015

Here’s what I used: I bought a plain red sleeper from a consignment shop for $1.99. Fabric glue $2.00 (because I was too lazy to sew). Again, you can achieve this look with the tape as well. They happen to have a checkered flag print handkerchief for $0.50 (I would have used checkered duct tape otherwise).

My daughter has been exchanging kid clothing with friends and family as well as making great use of consignment stores. We squeeze as much use out of it as possible, even turning the sleeves of sweatshirts and sweaters into no-sew jackets for my dogs, or jeans into bags before they get offered up to the rag pile!
