I'd like to make something from them to display in her nursery, any ideas?

Mmm we made a memory box with the first outfit she ever wore, her welcome to the world cards and some other bits and bobs. I am also going to ask both her grandmas to write her a letter when she is a year old to put into the box to be opened on her 18th birthday.

How about making a little collage with them and putting in a frame?
We have saved our DSs and DDs in a memory box to give them
When they are older xx

Stuffed them in a cupboard, so watching with interest! :)

Exactly as Iwish suggested. Made two quite large collages in clip frames and hung in nursery. Love them!

Bin also! Did keep first booties but I'm not at all sentimental for a piece of card

( and you will get hundreds over the years!)

Intended to make a collage but there ended up being too many! So they're all in the "memorabilia" box.

Depending on how many there are, maybe dangle string/wool across the wall, or a couple, and peg them up. Maybe bunting or some sort of string decoration... They're on display and you can still take them down to look at.

I have mine in a scrapbook that has everything in from when I was 4 weeks pregnant to present (3yrs)
