You can personalize a baby pillow in many ways.  How you decorate or personalize your baby pillow will be completely dependent on your personality and your style, as well as the style of the new mom who will be receiving this gift.

Remember infant pillows are meant to be decorative, since babies are not supposed to have pillows and blankets in their cribs.

When creating a personalized baby pillow you can do any number of things.

Embroidery:

You can embroider a baby pillow with the baby’s name, date of birth and weight.  Or if you want to give the gift before the birth you can find out what the theme of the nursery is and find a cute pattern to embroider on the pillow that will match the nursery.

Stencil:

You can find a beautiful stencil and using fabric paint stencil an image on the baby pillow.  This allows you to use a wide range of colors and designs.  With scrapbooking become so popular there are tons and tons of stencils available now, and some really cute ones too.

Photo Pillow:

This is a newer type of personalized pillow. You can take a photograph and have it put on a pillow, or a blanket for that matter.  You can use a picture of the mom while pregnant or you can wait until the baby is born and use the first family picture or pictures of the newborn. This is a very original gift.

Quilt PIllow:

You can also put together some quilt squares and then put them together as a pillow. This can be a nice gift for a whole family to work on.  Each family member could do a square and then they could all be put together. Don’t forget to write a special message on your square.

As you can see there are many options if you are choosing to create a personalized baby pillow. I hope you have gotten some good ideas and are excited about getting creative.
