G's room is decorated in sailboats. I don't know why I was set on boats, but I was. I had his room all finished about 2 months before he was born and poof...2 weeks later, we found out we were moving across the country. So...I got to decorate another room. I loved what I did the first time, so I did it again, but added a few more details, like this flag garland.
(In this picture it looks as if the garland is actually painted on the wall, but its not.)
I had die cut most of the shapes at my local scrapbook store (before we left), then sat down one afternoon during nap time to put it all together.
Supplies:
Jute or string
Paper
Scissors, die cuts, or punches
Glue
I measured his wall, and cut some jute about 2 feet longer (to account for the arc). I decided what order I wanted my made up boating signs to go and laid them out. Found the center of the jute and started folding and gluing. The squares are really rectangles which I folded the end over the jute and glue. The triangles have 2 tabs on them (its the small pennant die from Accucut) which I folded and glued. I spaced them evenly apart, but glued the paper to paper and not paper to jute. This way when we move again, I can lengthen or shorted if needed.
To hang it, I just put a cup hook in each corner and tied the jute to them.
