The outfit your baby wore on the day they came home from hospital is one of the most sentimental items you’ll ever own. Here’s how to preserve it properly.
Display Options
- Shadow box frame: Mount the outfit flat in a deep frame with a photo from the day.
- Hanger display: A tiny padded hanger behind glass, mounted on the wall.
- Keepsake box: Fold carefully in acid-free tissue paper in a sealed box. Include the hospital wristbands.
Creative Repurposing
- Memory bear: Skilled crafters can turn baby clothes into a stuffed teddy bear.
- Quilt patch: Save favourite outfits and have them made into a memory quilt.
- Framed fabric: Cut a section and frame it with a photo and birth details.
Whatever you choose, store the outfit away from direct sunlight rather, in acid-free tissue, to prevent yellowing.
