Okay so to follow up on my previous post, I talked about being unable to finish the gifts for Tiffany my sister-in-law....WELL, I'm back to tell you about the gifts. I made a few and I purchased something as well.
To give a little background, my brother and Tiffany went with a nautical themed nursery. Hence the nautical themed shower.....she was able to use a lot of the things I created in his room. I'll be heading out to their house this weekend so I can get some pictures of his nursery before he gets here. Here is what his bedding looks like......
Item number 1....
Now, I kept the theme in mind and ran across the cutest sign on amazon, since the room is nautical then deck signs would be appropriate. Right? Well I found a Poop Deck brass sign....and of course I envisioned it properly mounted over his changing table. And that is exactly where it is. Here is what the sign looked like when I bought it...
My brother did mount it to some stained wood and it really does look cute in his room.
So on to Item number 2..... the main part - the title to this post...
THE NAME BLOCKS...
I made wood blocks to read Nathan Ray to display in his room. I and I decoupaged nautical items on each side to match the nautical decor of his nursery. I'm really happy with the way they turned out, I wanted them simple and I wanted them to coordinate. The wood was a little rough in some places and had some dings but after I finished, I took a step back and realized I liked them that way, it gave them some charactor. They were very easy to make. I had some one cute the wood blocks for me, since I do not have a saw, yet...It's on my list. And I painted them a solid khaki color, then I cute letters and various shapes using my cricut. I then glued the letters and shapes on and covered them with a decoupage glue to seal. They turned out so cute!
Now.....Item number 3
