DIY Monogram Wall Decor for a Nursery | ORC Wk 3
In this Post: Learn how to make DIY Monogram Wall Decor in minutes! It's a quick and easy project that turns baby's headbands into Nursery Wall Decor.
We can't hang on to every baby memento; but not everything has to be sold or given away, either. Though I'm working on a nursery, it's not for a baby on the way. Back when my daughter was born, we set up a Shared Bedroom for her and my son. Since then, she has been moved into her own room, which is a Nursery/Toddler Room.
Not a baby any longer, she has outgrown -- or, more correctly, refuses to wear -- her baby headbands. I'm not quite ready to part with these sweet baby items and turned them into monogram wall decor, instead.

And really, it's not just about my unwillingness to let them go yet. There are some items that we choose to keep -- but display those mementos -- rather than hiding them in a storage box. Kind of like our Baby Shoe Shadow Box, which displays tiny shoes from both my kids in our stairwell. If you've been around long, you know that I'm passionate about Creating a Home and not just decorating a house. I want our walls to share the stories of our family.

Monogram Wall Decor: Instructions
Step 1: Paint the letter {if needed} and choose which headbands you'll be using. I chose pinks, peaches, and whites to match my daughter's modern bohemian room.
**As a note: This project won't damage the headbands, as they can still be worn afterward.
Step 2: Attach the largest floral headbands first, by wrapping the band around the letter.
Step 3: Balance the large florals with medium-large florals on the opposite side of the letter. Double loop the band to attach it tightly to the letter {similar to tying a ponytail}.
Step 4: Fill in the open spaces with smaller floral or bow headbands. Again, double loop the band, and slide it over the florals that are already attached to put it in place.
And that is it. It's literally a 5-Minute Project as long as you don't have to paint the letter.
ORC Week 3 Update
Now, many of you are here for an update on the One Room Challenge. First, I bought crib sheets...
... and they aren't any of the sheets that I featured last week. Why? Well, after going through my stash of accessories, I was considering adding a bit of aqua/teal tones into the room. Then, I got on Amazon to order the original crib sheets and this set showed up as a related product. It was only $20 -- instead of $30, like the original. Sold!
So, I've modified the modern-boho mood board in order to reflect that change. I still love the overall look and feel of the room's direction!

What a great idea to reuse those old baby headbands! Love this!
Thanks, Kate 🙂
Cute idea! I hoard things my kids have used, or clothes they wore frequently while growing up. The stash is getting pretty big! I'll have to come up with some creative ways like this to put them to good use!
The stash can grow quickly, that is for sure!! I'm trying to come up with some more ideas for her clothing 🙂
Very cute! I'm a sucker for silk florals and bows, so this has my name all over it.
That is where I was originally inspired -- a silk flower wall hanging.
what a fun and adorable touch! and crib sheets.... SWOON!
I love them! My indecision last week worked out -- so I could find these pretty sheets 🙂
Love those crib sheets! That's one of my favorite fabrics ever!
They are gorgeous, I'm so pleased!
Oh I LOVE your idea of repurposing sweet mementos into decor pieces! I definitely considered adding a floral initial to our ORC nursery, but between the floral wallpaper mural and what will hopefully be floral bedding, I thought it just may be too many florals for the space.
Haha, totally understand that 🙂
What a cute idea to display those mementos!! I love it!!
Have a great weekend!
XO, Vanessa
Thanks, Vanessa!
Such a cute idea to display old headbands ... I could see them otherwise being tossed in an old bin never to be seen again! I'll keep that in mind for the billions of headbands I have!
Hahaha, I collected a fair share with my first girl -- to say the least.
SUCH a cute idea! With two little girls we have soooo many of those headbands lying around! Pinned!
Thanks for pinning, Lindi!
What a cute idea Lora! And your room plan is adorable too.
Thanks, Jessica!
I love the addition of the aqua to the mix. Can't wait to see what accessories you use to pull that into the space. And that headband monogram is super cute!
It was totally unplanned but has been a good color addition for the room! I'm excited!
Oh, what a super cute idea that monogram!
That craft could double as a shower party gift!
Oh my goodness! What a good idea!! I love that!
What a cute idea. Looking forward to seeing how the room comes together.
OH WOW! This is suuuuch a great idea!!! Seriously... this is precious! We're almost there!!
Thanks for the sweet words 🙂
This is so pretty! Great craft for spring.
