OK, now this part of the nursery project is fun. This is the part I’ve been waiting for. Finally we’re getting everything moved in, unpacking baby stuff, and adding in all the cute decor stuff that I’ve been thinking about for the better part of a year now.
People have been using fabric in embroidery hoops as wall art for awhile now and I always think it’s really cute and fun, but it’s usually super girly. I decided to try and “boy it up” a little bit and I love the results.
I wanted some simple baseball silhouettes so I just did a search for “free baseball silhouettes” or something like that.
Then I used my favorite wax paper method for transferring a printed image onto fabric.

Transferring onto burlap rather than the thin white cotton that I used before was a bit more challenging, so I basically had to scratch the image on with my fingernail to get the ink dark enough. It worked though!
Totally not girly at all! You can see we still have tape measures and tools laying around in here, but it’s getting there!
