Instead, baby showers are a great way to share the joy that a new baby brings and help the parents ease into being parents of two, which can be challenging. Having our family and friends around us share wisdom and experience before we have just as many kids as hands can make a big difference. So not only will we have the items to make our life as parents of two easier, but we have a cheer squad that is rooting for us.
And that always feels good. There are some differences when it comes to a baby shower for the second-time mom. But there are still plenty of gift ideas that can make a world of difference for the second-time mom. For anyone shopping for a baby shower for a parent who is welcoming their second child and not their first, here are some gift ideas that will be very appreciated.
They can take both kids out simultaneously and they're especially helpful if the kids are tired and need a rest. There are so many different styles that can be chosen based on what the expecting family may find most useful. These allow any caregiver to be able to keep the baby close hands-free — which is vital when there's another kid that may need help with a snack or going to the bathroom.
Parents can keep an eye on a sleeping baby while doing other stuff with their older kid in a different part of the house, which is kind of essential. These can be used when the baby is little in the stroller or to lay on the grass while out at the park. Then, when the baby is old enough, it can be used at bedtime. Instead, find a book that has prompts to jot notes or quick fill-in questions. Sandpaper: for an overall distressed look. Tweezers: for removing thread from a raw hem.
A seam ripper: for small cuts and tears. Fray the pockets and edges, distress the overall shorts. You can fray the pockets, too, and create small holes or tears in them. Then, you can give your shorts an overall distressed look to match the frayed pockets and edges. Wash your shorts before and after your project. Then, once the project is over, give them another run through the wash cycle to expose more loose threads and distress them just a little bit more.
Method 2. Spread your shorts out on a flat surface. Put a piece of cardboard inside your shorts. Slide the cardboard inside your shorts to protect the other side of the material as you use your razor. As you move to new areas, take the cardboard out and put it back in to protect your shorts the entire time. Use a straight razor to create holes in the shorts.
For small holes, take the sharp end of your razor and carefully cut in a straight line. Press down hard enough to make a clean cut, then rub the edges of the hole with your fingers to fray the loose threads. The placement of your cuts is up to you! Go near the bottom hem, the pockets, or just below the butt of your shorts for a cute, distressed look.
Scrape a disposable razor across the hems and edges. To fray the edges of your shorts, grab a disposable shaving razor and place it flat down on your shorts. Rub it quickly back and forth to scuff up the material and make some frays. Your final look will be frayed jeans with holes all over. Method 3. Plus, it can avoid disasters like cutting 2 holes too close to each other and creating one mega-hole. Use scissors to make small cuts in your shorts.
If you would like to cut open your jeans, grab a pair of scissors and start snipping. You can cut in a straight line or create a square cutout for a larger hole.
Rub a piece of sandpaper all over your shorts for a distressed look. To make your shorts feel and look softer, grab a piece of sandpaper and rub it firmly all over your shorts. Use the sandpaper to fray the holes you cut earlier. Grab the same piece of sandpaper and rub it firmly over the holes you cut to pop out the loose threads.
