Nursery Crafts

I've shown some of this before when I wrote about our small nursery design, but I wanted to write a post about the crafts I did before and after my baby was born.


Name plaque

I saw some ideas on Pinterest for name plaques and liked the idea of a balloon and the name below. I used a hot glue gun to stick the buttons and letter tiles.

I already had buttons in the house, so I picked out the colours I wanted, I chose blue, grey and mustard colour.

The scrabble tiles I purchased from eBay. They were only a few pounds for a couple of sets of the alphabet.

I first set everything out on the canvas board the way I wanted it to look. Then once I was happy I started glueing each item. I used some natural string to attach the buttons (balloon section) to the name tiles. To finish it off I glued a short piece of ribbon to the top of the canvas to hang the plaque. It now hangs on my boys nursery door.

Small Nursery Design

We live in a 3 bedroomed house with 2 double bedrooms and 1 very small box room. When planning the nursery we decided to decorate the small bedroom for the baby. We could have put them in the other double bedroom and had lots of space for proper nursery furniture like a wardrobe and nappy changing station. But we decided we'd put them in the small bedroom so we could keep the 2nd double bedroom for guests to stay in when we had visitors. 

No doubt eventually we will move our little man into the spare bedroom when they're older, but for now they don't need loads of space.

Although babies don't need loads of space, they still come with lots of things to store. With a little organisation you can have an organised space for the little one.
