Hello Sunshine Rope Art
We know you’re a fan of hand-lettering. Create this scripted art using rope or yarn and tack it onto the wall. Pro tip: If phrases and quotes aren’t your thing, use your baby’s name instead. (via Heather Kincaid / 100 Layer Cakelet)
Tribal Rope Wall Art

Paper Flower Collage
Opt for a boho chic vibe and whip up a few (okay, more than a few) paper flowers. Then, make a collage on your wall with all shapes and sizes. Your baby is about to have the most stylish room in the whole house. (via Glitter Guide)
Modern Nail Art
Pick up a pack of nails at the hardware store to create this wall art. Simply print out bold letters and trace them on the wall. Then, hammer nails into the shape of each letter and add yarn. It might take a little extra time, but the result is amazing. And if you don’t want to add all those little holes to your wall, put the names in a wood plank and mount that to the wall.
