Banner for the Nursery

I was searching for something to place above the ledges that Rob had built for the books in the nursery. My first thought was to purchase or make wooden letters or maybe a vinyl word. I remembered I had picked up some gray fabric a few months back at Jo-Ann's with no particular project in mind and I could make a banner.

I ironed out the fabric, and then cut it into four banner pieces. I also then cut out white vinyl adhesive letters on my cameo machine. I like that I was able to have this banner put together in only a few minutes. I attached the banner pieces to some pom pom ribbon I had from Christmas with a glue gun.  I used small wire brads and hammered the banner in place. The brads are hidden in the two poms at the end.



I really like how simple it looks with the shelves we have for all the board books we have accumulated with Wynn.



Thanks so much for stopping by to see a small project in the nursery. I have a few more ideas up my sleeve for the room, and then I think we will be finished with the room. Anyone want to come over to help assemble two cribs?  This project cost around $2 dollars for the fabric and the rest were materials I already had.

  12. The banner is adorable and great minds think alike bc I also considered something similiar to hang above our book ledges in the nursery before I found some name blocks. My banner wouldn't have come out 1/2 as cute as yours though!!
