handmade // project nursery



i have been pinning colorful banners and yarn-inspired projects like cuh-razy on pinterest as of late, so i grabbed the chance to run to hobby lobby by myself this morning to get some crafts.  check out how i put the final touches on baby girl's nursery!   

4 materials: 

...yarn: check 

...felt: check 

...glue gun: check  

...cardboard letter: check

nursery banner diy:



1. trace triangles on yarn
2. cut out triangles
3. use glue gun to glue triangles onto yarn string
4. let dry & hang :)

after 15 minutes of tracing, cutting, and gluing, my banner was complete!  stella watched my over the couch while on daddy's shoulder's the entire time.  i adore the whimsical feel and simplicity of this design.  it also makes me feel good that this project was under $10 for she whole kit and caboodle {and i still have a lot of materials left over}!  for the felt, i chose colors that would pop against her light blue wall behind her crib. mustard, tangerine, turquoise, & polka dot confetti made for a perfect combination.  stella is almost 10 months old, and project nursery is finally complete!  {i will post more pictures later in a nursery tour.}




yarn letter DIY



1. wrap yarn around cardboard letter
2. hang :)

seriously, that's it.  anyone, and i mean anyone can do this do it yourself project.  this has to be the easiest diy ever because all you do it wrap and wrap and wrap.  i used green ombre yarn for the banner's string and for this "s" letter.  i like how the color fades from white to lime to mint and back again.  i hope you can use some of these ideas to craft up your casa!  have fun :)

  3. Love this idea! My son's name is Soren and I just recently bought an 'S' letter for his room... I think the yarn around it would look awesome! Very cute blog:)

  4. I know this post is for a nursery, but I'm going to make some of these for myself! The banner - AH! I'm really into nautical themes in my dorm room at school (coming from a coastal town) and a banner with navy/white striped triangles, light yellow, and light blue would look SO CUTE! Thanks for the tutorial!
