Kids Wall Hangings

Sometimes when we think of things to put in a child's room we may want to look at the furniture and decide if we want to paint or put up a mural or even see if sticks or decals are a nice fit for the room.   One other option that is usually over looked is kid's wall hangings.  This is something that can easily be made and can be incorporated into the decor.  For example, let's say you were decorating for a toddler and you had a quilt from when they were baby.  Now that they are older it is pretty fray but there is one good size block that can be salvaged so you cut itout and hem a pocket for a rod so you can attach cord to hang it from the wall.  You may have started a corner of memories where this piece would go very nicely in the room.

Other things that remind you of wall hangings and would include non-traditional pieces of wall art are kid's mural banners, childrens hand painted banners and other kids hand painted wall hangings.  They make a great conversational piece in any room and when you use kid's wall hangings you have creations that they have just made and something to save for them when they grow up and have their own children.  You can make them any color, bright or frilly, dark or full of trucks depending on if you are decorating for a boy or girl.

One of the gifts that are truly unusual and neat to give back when they grow up is when they were baby's foot prints or hand prints and place them in between baby pictures and add to them as they get older.  Almost as if someone had made a full size quilt but you keep it smaller about twelve blocks and hang it in the memories area.  There are so many things you can do to make wall hangs if you are imaginative and have the time to think about it and about what the theme that is you are working with for the decor.
