Baby Bib Birth Announcement

We designed this charming and unusual birth announcement to be printed on Fuzzy Paper for 
a wonderful texture that makes it just like a real baby bib (but you can also use our Cotton 
Inkjet Fabric Sheets.) Then we glittered around the edges with Glitter Glue applied with a fine 
artist's brush. The brush makes the glitter go on more evenly and allows the glue to dry 
quicker.  We took a photo of a white satin-edged bib, changed the satin color to pink in 
Photoshop, added text in a coordinating color and then added the new baby's photo for a 
finishing touch. What recipient won't think this announcement is absolutely adorable? 

MATERIALS

Fuzzy paper

Glitter glue

Baby bib photo or clipart

Scissors

Craft knife

Fine artist's paintbrush

Half fold or print-to-the-edge envelopes

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Open a blank page in landscape orientation in your graphics program. You will print two 
announcements per page.

2) Place the bib photo or clipart on the page and resize to fit the height of the page (watch 
those unprintable margins!)  If you want to make them fit into a print-to-the-edge envelope, 
make certain that the bib measures no more than 7 inches high and 4 7/8 inches wide.  Add 
text and the baby's photo as desired.

3) Group the bib with text and photo and move the whole thing to the left side of the page. 
Copy and paste a second bib on the right side of the page. Print a test page on plain paper.

4) Once you are happy with the layout, print the announcements on Fuzzy Paper. It is 
advisable to set your printer to greeting card paper and feed the sheets in one at a time to 
prevent a paper jam.

5) Apply a thin bead of glitter glue all the way around the colored edges of the bib and smooth 
out the glue with the artist's paintbrush. Set the page aside to dry for about a half hour and 
then you can cut out the bibs. Use a craft knife to cut out the neck hole.

That's all there is to it! A simple project that will yield truly professional looking results!
