Making Butterfly Decor for a Nursery

Planning Your Theme

Butterfly themed nurseries are all the rage for a newborn girl's room. The colors of this theme are shades of pinks, purples, greens and delicate yellows. These hues can evoke a sense of new life and vitality. Choosing fabrics depending on what pieces you will be sewing, you can choose from an endless array of fabrics when making bedding, window treatments, wall hangings, pillows and cushions for your new room. After you have picked your colors and fabrics, you can use a piece of each one to make a baby quilt. You may choose to keep the background solid, use the different fabrics to make the butterfly's wings and body and then sew them to the quilt. Matching butterflies can be made to use for wall hangings and pillows.

Walls 

Wall colors can be decided upon by taking one or two shades from the fabrics. For a simple border idea, buy inexpensive butterfly-shape sponges from a craft store and dip them in various colors of paint that match the bedding. Stamp them up along the border of the walls. These can be easily painted over as the child grows and the decor in the room changes. Removable wall decals are also a popular and inexpensive option.

Finishing Touches 
A wooden toy chest, a rocking chair stenciled with butterflies and flowers and a butterfly-shape rug will finish off the room nicely.
