Watch My Video Tutorial!

Want to see a few of them being made in a video? I have that for you as well! Watch the short video below.

If you can’t watch the video or have questions, you can see the final bibs below as well. Breaking each one down into components makes them super easy!

Instructions

The process is super simple! I will break down the instructions to show you how I made each animal.

To make a duck baby bib:

• Cut two circles and a square from felt and glue them onto the bibs.
• Just be sure there is a small opening when you glue on the square so it looks like the duck’s mouth.

That is one bib done!

To make a frog baby bib:

• Cut two circles for the eyes of the frog and two more for his cheeks.
• Then, just freehand cut the mouth and tongue.
• Be sure to just glue the edge of the tongue and leave the rest to flap!

You have now completed two animal bibs for the baby! So easy right?

To make a tiger baby bib:

The other bib shown in the video is the tiger.

• Cut two circles for the eyes and long + thin triangles for the whiskers.
• Then, just free-hand cut the rest of the elements.

I love the ears on the side of the bib! Just glue down one edge to get this look.

To make an elephant baby bib:

I just couldn’t stop there y’all! I had to create another animal bib! This time it was an elephant.

• Cut two circles for the eyes and freehand cut the ears (shaped like a heart) and trunk. I let the trunk and ears hang off of this one.

I think out of all the baby bibs, this is my favorite!

FAQs

Here are a couple of questions that I see readers ask about learning how to make bibs for babies. If you have a question, please check to see if I’ve already answered it below. Don’t see it? Leave it for me in the comments!

When should a baby start using a bib?

A bib can be used as soon as your baby starts to eat solid foods.

Is this bib machine washable?

I would not recommend machine washing these bibs. They will need to be hand-washed and air-dried or all of the glued on animal parts might fall off!

Can I use any kind of baby bib?

You can use any bib that you would like. If you find one with a plain solid color, it will be the easiest to work with.

I love how all of these animal bibs for babies turned out! This holiday season, they make a fabulous handmade gift for any baby or toddler on your gift-giving list. Make all four of these in just minutes!
