Charming DIY Mini Bunting

Lindsay's room for her (just born!) son Oscar is mostly white, but she wanted to work in some color and found a subtle and charming way to do it with a homemade mini bunting made from simple paper and string.

There's something so festive and celebratory about this bunting and the diminutive size seems to say, "hip, hip hooray, Oscar's here! But shushhhhh...he's sleeping!"

Lindsay didn't buy a thing to make this bunting either. She created triangles in colors she liked on the computer, printed and cut them out and then strung them up. And she's made it even easier for you to do the same by offering a download on her blog, Aubrey and Lindsay's Little House Blog. Of course, if you have specific colors in mind, just take this idea and run with it.

Thanks Lindsay!

I really like the picture frame over the crib... Great job with the room!

Very sweet. I love the tasteful addition of a tiny bit of color in the serene room. Lovely!

Usually not a fan of the bunting, but that's cute! Sweet and charming!

I LOVE the picture over the crib as well. Where is it from? I also think the monkey is adorable.

Adorable! I, too, would love, love to know where she got that print.

Thank you for such kind comments!

Yes, the artwork above the crib is from Sarah Jane, and was a custom size for our nursery, which you can read about on our blog here:

The Monkey is by Manhattan Toys and was purchased a few years ago at www.MastermindToys.com but I haven't been able to find him again. (He's actually a puppet)
