I’ve slowly been working on some fun DIY nursery projects over the past few months to make Lolo’s<\/a> nursery a wonderland of whimsy<\/a>. \u00a0There is no particular theme for her room but I will say pennants, posies and pom poms are well represented.<\/p>\n

The first project was dressing up our curtains. \u00a0I liked the look of our office curtains<\/a> so I snatched up some butter colored ones<\/a>\u00a0and added pink pom poms to girly them up a bit. \u00a0The curtain rods are just wood dowels striped in washi tape.<\/p>\n

I do love the colors and textures of yarn but don’t have the patience to be a knitter so I resort to wrapping. \u00a0I got this large letter M at a crafts supply store and popped over to pinterest to learn how to make felt flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/a>Big surprise ~ another yarn project. \u00a0This mobile doesn’t have sound or light, but Lolo does love watching it. \u00a0I chose the yarn based on color but the textures are all a little different which I think makes the mobile a bit more playful. \u00a0I had a general plan for this project, but decided on lengths and sizes of pom poms as I went along. \u00a0The base is a 14 inch embroidery hoop.<\/p>\n

And now for the pennants… because they make everything more festive! \u00a0This fabric pack actually inspired the colors of the nursery. \u00a0I love how these fat quarter assortments<\/a> have a color theme with complimentary patterns. \u00a0A perfect place to build a color story for a room.<\/p>\n

I’m not a huge fan of sewing, which is why I love stitch witchery! \u00a0I grabbed this pattern<\/a>, a sharp scissors, iron and was off!<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve got the behind the scenes craft pass… stay tuned for the nursery tour tomorrow!<\/p>\n
