Nurseries and Baby Gear

a little DIY for the nursery

Super easy and inexpensive.

I made a "family of 4" on an acrylic painted 20"x20" canvas for our soon-to-be second granddaughter's room, using scrapbook paper.  I used the leftover scraps to decorate tiny birdhouses. The art is to coordinate with Serena & Lily bedding with accents of Dwell "Trees" and  "Birds".  Sorry the pictures aren't the best quality.

  • Those are SO cute!  I am obsessed with making birds from scrapbook paper (I am working on some owls).  It looks like you did a combo of acrylic and scrapbook?

  • Actually, just the background is painted, the quality of the picture is poor, but the objects, other than the branch are all patterned papers.  It was so fun and easy.  Good luck with your owls!

    You have great ideas and fabric choices.  This is a photo of some of the little stuffed felt birds and hearts I have made.  They will be suspended over the bed at various heights (from the ceiling) on nylon string.  I now have 7 birds completed.
