Hanging Crib Bag

So I saw this idea here. I love the idea of baby having something within reach to play with when he/she wakes up without mom having to rush in and entertain right away. I had a baby shower to attend and I wanted to give this a try. I didn't attempt making my own bag this time, so I just grabbed this canvas bag from Hobby Lobby for $3.00. I also picked up some little iron-on sport that were on sale since baby's room had a sports theme. The iron on letters were a little more expensive, but I have plenty left to use for another project. I really had to dig the tip of my iron into the men/letters to get them to stick well. I took out the stitch for the handle on the front of the bag, removed the handle, and restitched the top. Then I cut the handle on the back side in half. I sewed across each side to keep it from unwraveling. The original blog says to use snaps, but I wasn't really sure if I needed an extra tool for those so I went with velcrow instead. Sewed it on and wa-la! We piled the bag full of books and toys and hung it on our crib for a trial run. It held up just fine with the velcrow. I will definitely be making one of these for my next one!
