LeLou's Angels

 Our bereavement kits include a little hat for the baby.  Our little girl kits also include a headband.  Both of these are easy to make and are great no-sew ways to get involved.   Our hats are made out of 1", 2", 3", and 4" medical stockinette.  We connect them at the top with a clear hair tie to create the "pom-pom."  We then add a ribbon or other embellishments to the hats.

Our headbands are made out of different-sized microfiber tights or thin, soft elastic.   We cut the legs of the tights into 2" loops and give them a good stretch so the edges roll.   If you are using elastic, cut the elastic into 4.5", 6.5", or 8.5" strips.  Hot glue the ends of the elastic together.   Embellish the headbands with bows, flowers, jewels, buttons, etc...  Keep in mind that less is more.   Remember that these parents will only be dres...

  Angel bracelets are a great no-sew option to get involved with LeLou's Angels.  We make a mom-sized bracelet and a baby-sized bracelet.  The baby is buried with their bracelet and the mom has hers as a small reminder of her sweet baby.   We have blankets, stuffed animals, bracelets, or jewelry sets, and sometimes we have keychains with our kits.  These come in sets of two.  The baby is buried with their blanket, stuffed animal, jewelry, or keychain.  The parents keep the other half of the set.  It helps them feel a connection to their angel and comforts them in times of sadness.   Bracelet sets are easy and fun to make.  We make them for the boys, too.  The bracelet is more for the mom than the baby, but we do what we can to make them masculine.   Click on HERE for the link to the PDF in Google Drive.   Thanks for helping us out and please email us any questions you have.  thelillypadproject@gma...
