Nursery Prep: Alphabet Wall Art

By on September 1, 2011 in Etsy, Nursery

Check.  Another project off my list!

I have this big blank wall behind the guest bed/futon in the nursery, so I went to my favorite resource to find something cute and inexpensive to put there – Etsy!  I love Etsy, and not just because I’m a seller on Etsy – I love the concept of supporting handmade.  These nature themed alphabet wall cards are adorable and also eco-friendly; they’re made using 100% recycled cardstock.  They’re from Art and Philanthropy, and they have tons of cute prints – and come in different languages!

I put them up using jute twine and miniature clothespins.  Somebody with preggo brain – I won’t name names – didn’t pay attention to the count listed on the package of 24 clothespins, so I had to run back to JoAnn’s and get another pack to finish the project.  Here are some of my favorites:

Aren’t they just adorable?

Oh, and here’s a tip if you have plaster walls like we do.  Put a piece of masking or painter’s tape on the wall before you hammer a nail in.  This keeps the plaster from chipping away from the hole.  After you’ve pounded your nail in, just tear away the tape and you’ll have a perfect wall around the nail.

    That looks adorable! I love this idea even for a playroom. The tiny clothespins are too cute too. I have liked this on Stumble Upon.

    This is adorable…I saw this featured on Creation Corner and had to peek in! I just did the exact thing (with twine and mini clothespins)but with these pretty paper doll note cards I got from Anthro. They are way too pretty to mail! But this would be so lovely in my school/craft room. Such inspiration! ♥

    Wow! I’m impressed by this Nursery Wall Art! This is so much better than the PB version! I can’t believe you used only scrapbook paper and copy paper! It looks so vibrant. I thought you used vinyl or something! Thanks for sharing!
