Post by lauraslilones »

Made a hospital crib with dad at work today and I absolutely love it :) Its solid steel and welded together :)

Finished painting her crib sheet blanket and made her a mini hospital hat :) Just got to make her swaddle blanket now :heart:

Sorry about background, still working lol x

Edit to say she is 5.5" long :)

That is fabulous !!!!! I have been looking for one like that for a long time. I did manage to find just the bed part on Etsy. You should make them and sell them. People would buy them.

I would if they weren't so heavy lol, I looked for ages online and couldn't find anything the right size but she fit in our butter dish that we no longer use so I used that for the bed part and just brought that to work and made the frame around it.

It weighs almost 1.5kg at this size because its solid steel lol, so shipping would be outrageous xxx

I don't know anything about working with steel, but I wonder if there is some kind of material that could be used that would be hollow inside to make it light weight? Finding clear little bins for the bed part would probably not be difficult.

I have absolutely no idea, he said he could use 5mm bar which would make it half the weight, clear bins for them here is a nightmare lol. I'd love a full size one but no space lol xx
