Along with a hanger into the wall, I also used the Velcro command strips. They are light enough that I'm not worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923546 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:51:30 +0000 Sapphiresun 1923546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have cardboard letters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923532 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:25:03 +0000 fancyfunction 1923532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No b/c I have an irrational fear that they will somehow fall down and hit her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923258 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:56:53 +0000 Canoli 1923258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used command strips like @mae suggested.

I think there are definitely ways to secure things effectively! I don't trust our walls here Bc they are very very old... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923084 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 16:11:39 +0000 Smurfette 1923084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! They are on nails and then Velcro strips on each side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923074 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 16:04:36 +0000 Vegmama 1923074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness. We have a huge framed map above her bed. No glass, more like a big chalkboard. It's secured with wire and hooks on a picture rail. I never really thought about it falling ... New fear to worry about. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923063 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:58:16 +0000 meganmp 1923063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hung large frames with glass. I just scooted the cribs a few inches away from the wall so the frames could fall between the wall and the cribs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923057 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:55:03 +0000 prettylizy 1923057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always had something hung. DH anchored it to the wall, I'm not worried about it going anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923053 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:53:51 +0000 snowjewelz 1923053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to; but the frames are super thin and light from Ikea (and no glass) and I was just going to ask DH to make sure they're very stuck to the wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1923048 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:52:01 +0000 PurplePeony 1923048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was too concerned about something falling on her. I might be persuaded to do something really small and light, but not a framed picture even if the glass was removed. There are other places to hang pictures...I did do a stencil that sort of wraps around one side of the crib, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922862 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:12:35 +0000 lawbee11 1922862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't because I was worried about them somehow falling off the wall and into her crib. She's 15 months old and currently her favorite thing to do is stand in her crib and bang on the walls, so I'm glad we decided against it! We did a decal instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922860 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:12:20 +0000 autumnlove 1922860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we have frequent quakes here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922859 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:12:19 +0000 Mae 1922859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a large unframed canvas over her crib. it is light enough I don't think it would hurt her if it fell, but also I used 4 command velcro strips (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Command-Large-Picture-Hanging-Strips-4-Strip/dp/B00404YKZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414696288&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=3m+command+velcro+strips" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Command-Large-Picture-Hanging-Strips-4-Strip/dp/B00404YKZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1414696288&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=3m+command+velcro+strips</a>) to put it up. they are meant to hold 16 lbs and the canvas weighs well under a pound so I feel it is very very secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922858 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:12:13 +0000 catomd00 1922858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we stenciled an accent wall behind her crib. I wouldn't be opposed to hanging anything, I'd just make sure it was light and secured properly. Also, if the crib isn't directly against the wall, if something falls off the likelihood of it landing in the crib is reduced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922854 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:10:26 +0000 looch 1922854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I didn't hang anything. I did a handpainted alphabet over the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922825 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:56:55 +0000 littlebug 1922825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, this never even occurred to me. :shocked: We had a pretty heavy framed cross-stitch over his crib. But we hung it securely with wire and plaster anchors. I think it would have taken a BIG earthquake to knock it off the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922819 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:55:05 +0000 ValentineMommy 1922819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We painted vertical stripes behind the crib so we didn't have to hang anything above it. It scared me to hang anything over the crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922811 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:53:16 +0000 BandDmommy 1922811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hung pics behind LOs crib. We used the PBK frames and DH securely fastened them to the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922801 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:49:18 +0000 Tidybee 1922801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had decals as well as our old place, but now I have a name banner (soft and light) hung over her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922795 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:47:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1922795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had wood frames hung by wire and then attached with Velcro. They were actually hard to get off the wall when we moved. I replaced the glass with pieces of acrylic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922792 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:47:02 +0000 Radish 1922792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used unframed canvases for LO1 so they were really lightweight. For this baby I think I may end up doing letters above her crib made out of cardboard and fabric or scrapbook paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922791 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:43:46 +0000 loki 1922791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooo glad you asked this. i always see it in blogs and on pinterest and wonder how to do it safely. I saw on one blog where they discussed it (taylor sterling's nursery)... she used light weight frames with plastic instead of glass. but everything makes me nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hang-photos-above-your-babys-crib#post-1922785 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:42:40 +0000 winniebee 1922785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hanging actual prints with any weight above the crib is dangerous, right? For my first I had decals above his crib....but we have wainscotting/paneling in this rental house so I can't really do a decal. I'm wondering if even hanging some light canvas prints would be a bad idea.... </p>
