Baby Room

Hello! With not long to go until Baby Jones arrives, I thought it was time to do a little blog post on the baby room - I'll try my best to credit where items are from.

I have a few more projects ready to put up on the blog in the next month or so, so watch this space!

We wanted quite a simple room that was easy to keep tidy and that didn't require a new paint job! My theme was to use a combination of white, cream, gold and wood - with a few bits of pale pink now that we know we are having a girl.

Cork gift tags

I'm back! I hit a little bit of a creative wall for a month or two - and I lost my confidence! But I have decided to sell some goods with some friends at the next East End Markets in October so I had to start getting things sorted. These are a few gift tag ideas I've come up with. 

They are two layered - which I kinda like! The top layer is cork card and the bottom is Kraft card, which can be written on. I like that someone could keep the top layer long after a birthday, celebration or event is over. I painted the white circle and stamped on top.

Wrapped up

A few wrapping ideas using a paper book from Spotlight (Best of Meilleur D' by American Crafts) and some string and tags I had lying around. 

Card from the Warehouse, washi tape from Paper Vine

String from Armchair Collective, lace from spotlight

Lace from the hospice shop, doily from  our local discount

Gift tags

Trusty ol' Frankie magazine came in handy again! I had limited resources at the bach a few months back and so I used some washi tape I was given for Christmas, cut up some lovely pics from Frankie and bought some brown card tags from The Warehouse - will definitely be going back to get some more.

            

Packaging

I put together three simple packaging ideas... 

"Just because" tag from Little Paper Lane // Gold Washi tape from Paper Vine // Brown paper bag from Hardy Packaging

Brown paper bag from any good packaging place // Tag from Typo 

Map paper bags were a gift but this lady sews some awesome ones // String is from Arm Chair Collective in Sydney // White tag is from discount store + stickers from Kikki K
