DIY NURSERY WALL ART IDEAS
I love creating fun and unique wall hangings- especially for new little ones! This is because, when it comes to nursery wall decor, buying wall hangings that have a handmade look or that are personalized can become extremely costly.
So, instead of spending too much time online trying to find the perfect wall decor piece, I am going to show you how easy it is to make your own! Also, make sure you scroll down to the bottom because I will be sharing a quick roundup of some other DIY nursery wall art ideas!
DIY FELT CLOUD WALL HANGING
When comes to nursery room decor one of the most popular things to buy is some type of soft, plush, or felt wall hanging. These types of wall hangings are so adorable but can be a bit on the pricey side. So, with that in mind, I decided to dive into my sewing stash to see what I could come up with!
Now, if you have been following my blog for a while, then you know that I am new to sewing. While I’m not ready to try my hand at clothing yet I am SUPER excited about creating cute little home decor projects that take no time at all. Plus, with a stash of fun fabrics stacking up in my craft room, I think creating some simple baby room decor is the perfect place to start.
So, today, I will be showing you how to create this adorable Felt Cloud Wall Hanging! This wall hanging is simple to make and comes with a FREE template. Also, the best thing about this project is that it can be adjusted to what you have on hand. For instance, if you don’t have a sewing machine, you could hand stitch, or if you rather not sew, you could use a liquid adhesive for a no-sew alternative! {FTC Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links which means I may make a commission on sales at no additional cost to you.}
