welcome home baby

Looking for some inspiration for your little ones nursery? As for me, during my pregnancy, I found myself looking on Pinterest for finds daily... 

You can make your own nursery accents from the instructions below! Happy Crafting!

FOR OUR GIRL

DIY Flower Mobil

you need:
tool
paper flowers
fishing line
ribbon
metal hoop wreath
hot glue gun
glue sticks
thumb tacks

to make:
First hot glue the flowers on your desired length on the fishing line. Tie the fishing line (with flowers) to your hoop. Then, tie the ribbon on alternating points of the hoop. Next tie the tool fabric around the metal hoop to cover the metal. Last, tie four strands of tool fabric (at your desired length) to hoop and hang from ceiling with tacks.

Owl Piggy Bank

With help from my mama, sister, mamma in law and sister in law, we created this masterpiece.
Take your loved ones, a fabric swatch from the nursery and get creative. It was SO. MUCH. FUN.

Chalk Sign

you need:
chalk pen
frame

to make:
I used a picture frame that I didn't currently have a use for and made it a chalkboard.
I picked up a chalk pen at Target, found a saying on Pinterest and went to work.

FOR OUR BOY

______________________________________________________
Levi's sign

you need:
wood letters
paint
plywood board
wood glue
hanging brackets

to make:
First cut board to shape of Levi's background logo. Sand the rough edges off and paint with red or your choice of paint color. Paint letters white or your choice paint color. Glue letters on the board. Attach picture hanger to back of board. Hang with regular hanging bracket.

word board

you need:

sand paper

paint

brackets (to attach the wood together)

picture frame brackets

to make:

First, attach the pieces of wood together with your brackets. I used wood screws to make sure it stayed together the way I wanted. next, sand all of the rough edges off of the sides, to ensure no unnecessary splinters. Last, paint your desired word on the wood (I used "love"). To finish, hang with a normal picture hanging bracket.

wood growth chart

you need:

one piece of wood at your desired height/width

pencil

paint pen (or sharpie)

measuring tape

wood stain

picture frame bracket

to make:

First measure out each inch, starting at 6 inches from the bottom of the board,with a pencil, to your desired height. (I went to 7ft). Then, mark where the numbers need to go. You can either use a stencil or paint the numbers free hand, like I did. Go back over the lines and numbers with either a permanent marker or your desired paint color. Next, let the paint dry and stain to bring out the wood tones. To finish, hang on the wall with a picture frame bracket.

baby is sleeping sign

you need:

one piece of wood or wood like cutout

two desired paint colors

adhesive stencils

ribbon

decoupage

picture frame bracket

to make:

First, sand the board to make sure there are no splinters present. Next, paint the board your desired base color. After the board has dried, place your stencils where you want them on the board to spell out your desired phrase. Paint with your accent color over the stencils. Let dry. Remove the stencils for a complete dry. Paint or spray decoupage over the entire service to protect it. If your sign is going to hang outside, like mine does, make sure your decoupage is waterproof. To finish, tie with a ribbon and hang in your desired location.
