Want to Make: Fabric Banners

Scrappy banner idea.

No ragged edges on this one.

This is so cute. I don’t know if it’s what I’m looking for or not.

Nursery Wall Art

My dad made these frames for our littlest guy's room! I filled them with animal figures from the fabric I used to make his crib skirt.

There's no glass in them which allows them to be lightweight (the frames are pine). That way I'm not worried about them falling off the wall!

I used foam board I bought at the dollar store for the background. I painted it with acrylic paint and then cut the animals out of scrapbook paper. I used double stick tape to attach the animals

Baby Shower Gift

I made a gift for a friend’s baby shower. The bunny was made using this tutorial & pattern, and the blanket and burp cloth were made with my pattern and tutorial.

The bunny was my favorite part.
