decorate a baby nursery on a budget

Decorating a baby nursery is an exciting time for parents but it can get expensive. I would like to share with you how to decorate your baby nursery with your baby shower leftovers.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

What do you do with all of the baby shower decorations when your shower is over. Don't throw them out! You can use them to decorate you baby nursery.

Suggestions:

1. Tack the streamers along the wall above the crib to form a border tape the bows on the streamers to add dimension.
2. Hank the mobiles from the ceiling.
3. Hang the decorations around the room.
4. Place the "it's a boy or it's a girl" decoration above the crib.

There are many ways to use baby shower decorations. Use your imagination and be creative.
Step 2

Hang a clothes line in a corner and with colored clothes pins hang the favorite clothes that your baby grew out of. You can keep changing the clothes as your baby grows.
* Don't forget the socks and shoes!

This is a great way to save memories and decorate your baby nursery.
Step 3

Frame calender pages:
1. Purchase a character calender (ex. Winnie the Pooh).
2. Purchase some frames from the dollar store.
3. With craft paint, paint the frames different colors. ( try to match up the colors with the calender pages)
4. Insert the pictures from the calender into the frames. ( you may have to cut them to fit).
5. Now just hang them up!

This is a great way to decorate your baby nursery with a theme. You could add to the theme by purchasing crib sheets or curtains with similar characters.
