Today I’m sharing a very special craft. This is the very first craft I made for my little girl’s nursery room and she was about 4 months old. I made these cute and colorful canvas wall art paintings with illustrated baby animals.

First of all, I wanted to apologize because these pics are not very good. These crafty wall arts were made when I wasn’t blogging yet and I just happened to have some pics of the process because I was taking them with my mobile to send them to my mom. 

I just really wanted to share this because it holds a very special meaning!

I wanted to make her bedroom more like a baby’s nursery room, and I had seen these super cute squared wall arts in a store but our financial situation wasn’t good so we couldn’t afford to be buying things other than priority ones.

So I thought that maybe I could make them myself which would be even more special.

I had a few paints and I had seen in a Chinese store some canvas for less than 1 Euro (around $1.20). So I made them all 3 for less than 5 Euros because I had to buy some brushes LOL.

Some benefits of DIYing your Nursery Wall Arts

Doing yourself nursery wall art paintings can be a great way to add a personal touch and perfect addition to your baby’s room but they also provide some cool benefits too:

• Cost-effective: they are often a more cost-effective option than purchasing pre-made art. You can use materials that you already have on hand or purchase affordable supplies to create your own artwork.
• Customizable: When you create your own artwork, you have complete control over the design and can customize it to match your child’s room or their interests. You can use specific colors, patterns, and designs to create a unique piece that is tailored to your child.
• Creative expression: DIY projects allow you to express your creativity and have fun while doing it. OMG! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed every second of it. Painting your own nursery wall art can be a fun and relaxing activity that allows you to unwind and tap into your artistic side.
• Bonding experience: If you have older kids, making nursery wall art paintings can be a great bonding experience. You can involve your child or children in the process and create a special piece together that they can be proud of.
• Sentimental value: DIY projects often hold sentimental value, and this is especially true for nursery wall art. Creating your own artwork for your child’s room can become a cherished memory that you both look back on with fondness. God knows how much I still look at these photos!
• Make great gifts: These are great for baby Shower gifts,

Overall, creating your own nursery wall art paintings can be such a rewarding and enjoyable experience. It allows you to add a personal touch to your kids room, express your creativity, and bond with your child in the process all at once.

How to Make Nursery Animal Wall Art Paintings

You can decorate your own nursery with animal wall art paintings and give your little one a nursery that is uniquely and unequivocally your own. See how to make your own animal nursery art here.

Supplies:

• 3 Canvases
• Acrylic paint – I used the basic ones: cyan, magenta, Yellow, and white and mixed them to get the colors I wanted
• Brushes
• 6B pencil
• Regular pencil

Tools:

• Printer

Instructions:

1. I started by looking for some illustration examples on the Internet so I could get an idea.
2. Then I made them using my Adobe Illustrator, you can use your favorite app.
3. When I had them done I printed them in the same size as the canvas.

I made 3 wall arts and illustrated a baby elephant, a giraffe, and a cute hippo. But you can go ahead and let your imagination fly, and make a lion, rhino, zebra, tiger, monkeys, kitties, puppies, etc.

4. I traced the whole shape of the drawings on the back of the paper using the 6B pencil. It is softer and darker.
5. I traced it roughly making the lines thicker.
6. Then I placed the paper over the canvas’s right side facing up – the penciled side facing the canvas – and started tracing again the whole drawing but this time very carefully.
7. This would transfer the drawing to the canvas.
8. I repeated the process with the other 2 canvases.
9. Then I started to paint one canvas at a time, paying attention to details and trying my best to make paint lines as steady as possible LOL.

10. When I had them done I would let them dry overnight. I was actually making them mostly at night when Emma was sleeping.

So that’s it… The animal wall arts are ready!

I hung them in my baby girl’s bedroom near her crib and it gave a little color to her room!

I had a Picture from the DIY Wall Diaper Stacker where you can see how the room looked}
