Handmade baby shower gifts are a great way to say you care. Create nursery wall art as personalized baby shower gifts that are sure to be appreciated by your loved ones. For this owl-themed nursery wall art idea, you will need: foam wreath base, hot glue, a roll of yarn in a color of your choice, felt sheets in two different colors, scissors and felt owl embellishment. Start by wrapping the yarn around the foam wreath till it is completely covered. It is not necessary to wrap the yarn in way that is neatly lined up. Go over in a crisscross fashion or use a different colored yarn to give the wreath a handmade quality. After you are happy with the way the covered base looks, make some felt flowers. Start by cutting a circle from one of the sheets of felt. The size of the circle will determine the size of the flower so cut a circle that’s large enough for the size of flower you have in mind. Choose any point on the outer edge of the circle to cut into a spiral pattern till you reach the center of the circle. You will now have a long strip of felt with a round shape at one end. Take the end of the felt strip – where you began cutting – and start rolling it so the tight roll creates a stylized flower. When you reach the end, use a bead of hot glue, to secure the flower. Make several flowers of different sizes and colors and glue them in an artful grouping. It is easy to make an owl embellishment by using a vintage papier-mâché owl or you can choose from clip-on felt ornaments available at craft stores. Another option is to make a yarn-wrapped owl ornament by wrapping a foam board cutout of an owl with yarn and using buttons for the eyes to make an adorable embellishment. Adapt these sweet baby shower gifts by changing the color or the theme of these wreaths according to the season for baby’s birthday. For spring, you can use bright pink flowers to represent cherry blossoms with a blue robin and use a faux nest as an accent. Create this beautiful nature-inspired nursery wall art using this easy tutorial. Authors Profile: William Socket is a certified interior designer and runs his own interior decoration consultancy.
