So adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-897082 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 21:09:00 +0000 Sweet T 897082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: here's a picture! I want to say I bought everything from Michael's but I'm pretty positive Hobby Lobby carries the exact same letters and animals. They're all very light and we hung them using command strips. The animals are wooden with felt accents. I attached them to the letters with hot glue. The second photo is of the mobile we have. It's from Lil Sprout Creations on Etsy. </p> [attach=1576/13/mp8jb2.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=1576/13/mp8jb3.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896941 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 19:48:36 +0000 ladybee 896941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we are! I really wanted something with a lot of colors but I didn't love anything else in store like I did that happy little whale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896913 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 19:34:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 896913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: OMG those whales are adorable!

I painted them and glued wooden animals to each letter. I'll take a picture once he wakes up from his nap and post it for you. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896835 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 18:27:18 +0000 ladybee 896835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this! Here is a previous post for some more ideas... <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-whats-behind-your-crib/page/2" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-whats-behind-your-crib/page/2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896789 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:39:53 +0000 Bookish 896789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Thanks :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: We got the canvases at Hobby Lobby and they weigh literally ounces each. A heavy blanket would do more damage fallin on her! They're on there pretty good though. As for lightweight letters, I've seen cardboard ones for sale at craft stores - you could paint and hang those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896782 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:32:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 896782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any ideas for super lightweight letters we could do? I just showed DH the link and he likes it but wants the letter to be more prominent. He also remembers having that as a kid and them either falling or him prying them off-- knowing him, he pried them off and our kid will try to do them same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896779 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:26:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 896779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I love that stripe so much-- you don't need any extra decorations! We are renting so no stripe for us. </p> <p>@Bookworm: Super cute. I was thinking of a light weight canvas and wondering if they'd be light enough.</p> <p>One other issue is the room is pretty narrow, so pulling the crib out from the wall by 2 inches would actually really make the room feel smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896767 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:20:35 +0000 Ra 896767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: LOVE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896765 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:20:07 +0000 twinmama 896765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.S. that link you posted is crazy adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896762 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:19:22 +0000 twinmama 896762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently picked up dreamcatchers for over the head of each of their cribs. Love them, and super light.</p> <p>We have light wooden letters over the long side, but are attached with hooks and the cribs are pulled out from the wall so they won't drop in if there was an earthquake or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896754 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:12:47 +0000 Bookish 896754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's mine. I got two very lightweight canvases, and mod podged scrapbook paper over them :) </p> [attach=2511/13/mp88dd.450x600.20130630_171054.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896708 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 16:36:22 +0000 Adira 896708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have anything above the crib at the moment. </p> [attach=340/13/mp86oo.600x399.IMG_5703.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896700 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 16:29:27 +0000 deerylou 896700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two medium sized canvases, and are painting a wooden initial to hang in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896695 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 16:23:47 +0000 autumnlove 896695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a tree decal at our apartment but nothing at our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-the-crib-decor#post-896690 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 16:21:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 896690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of decorations do you have above the crib? Mobile, decals on the wall, something else?</p> <p>I'm thinking I'd like to put something on the wall behind the crib, maybe the baby's name and something decorative like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/95222801/custom-name-wall-art-elephant-raindrops?ref=af_you_favitem" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/95222801/custom-name-wall-art-elephant-raindrops?ref=af_you_favitem</a> </p> <p>I'd prefer something with a little texture, but that won't pose any danger being over the crib. I'm pretty crafty and would love to make something but I'm not opposed to buying either (and am considering just buying from the Etsy shop above). The nursery has a little bit of an elephant theme and is gender neutral (so, obviously I can't make or order anything with the name until baby is born-- team green!) </p>
