Nursery Part 2



The walls are grey thanks to my awesome mother and sister in law :)

My mother in law got us this great end table that matches his furniture to go next to the rocking chair once finished.
For Easter my mom gave him some picture frames.
My sister in law gave him stuffed animals that go with the theme, and my friend Megan got us some books to read while rocking him :)

We finished his mobile, but won't hang it until I settle on where I want the Crib :)
 Here is a link to how we made it! Making a Mobile! 

His closet is full of diapers and wipes from our gender reveal party :)

Most of the gifts we have been given for him so far are toys, so this is the start to his toy box :)
The basket is actually from Jenna's nursery. I took the pink liner out then added leftovers from his mobile, so it would match! 

This is not necessarily where they will stay, but here is his crib, changing table/ dresser, and the grey and yellow chevron laundry basket his Auntie Stevie bought him.

After months of airing out his crib mattress (I will post about that separately) it is now in his crib with his mattress cover and bedding.
The bedding is all grey and yellow with Safari animals on it :)

I will post more as we continue to finish our little man's room :)

Making a Mobile

Supplies needed:

• Fabric: I got a yard of each grey and yellow and had way too much. For the Green and blue I just got fabric sample squares from Joann's, and it was just right for one each.
• Ribbon: I got all white, but you could use one color to wrap the hoop and another color to hang the poof balls.
• Wood Embroidery Hoop: The middle comes out, so there is nothing on the outside
• Styrofoam Balls: I bought 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch, but ended up just using the smaller (they seem bigger once the fabric is on them)
• Glue gun: With lots of hot glue sticks
• Good fabric scissors
• Keyring 
• A small circle: To measure the circles before cutting (I used a glass cup)  
• A pencil: To draw the circles on the back of the fabric
• Small bows: To attach to where the poof balls attach to the Embroidery Hoop
• A lighter
• Friends and a good movie! 

Wrap Embroidery Hoop and Keyring with ribbon, and hot glue the ends.

• Trace about 30 circles for each poof ball you are making 
• Cut the circles out

• Fold each circle in 1/2 (color on the outside)
• Place a dot of glue on the inside at the center of the crease
• Then fold in 1/2 again
• Place another dot of glue in the center of the crease
• They will look like little fortune cookies 

Cover the styrofoam balls with about 30 little folded circles attaching with hot glue

Finished poof balls will look like this

• Once poof balls are finished hot glue them to different lengths of ribbon.
• Hot glue them to the Embroidery Hoop evenly spaced apart.
• Hot glue 4 evenly measured pieces of ribbon  to the Embroidery Hoop between the ribbons to the poof balls going up.
• Tie each of the ribbons going up to the keyring 
• Hot glue bows to where the ribbons for the poof balls attach to the Embroidery Hoop
• Tie a bow on top
• Then with lighter gently burn the ends of all ribbon, so they don't fray 

We haven't hung it yet, because I can't settle on where I want the crib.

 Hanging it from the ceiling is the last step :)
