The Very Best Baby Borders
Baby nursery wallpaper borders are no different than any other border. It’s just that borders created specially for nurseries may have been printed with pictures of baby gear rather than other less infant oriented designs. It’s possible to find wallpaper borders whose use may not be exclusive to a baby’s room, but that will fit with your chosen theme or style of nursery decor.
You will go about the process of selecting a nursery wall border the same way as you would choose a decorative wall treatment for any other bedroom in your home. Begin by hauling your baby bedding fabric or whatever accessory that you need to match down to the store, buy enough yardage to make your way around the circumference of the nursery, hang the border on the walls and voila your job is complete.
Amateur decorators often ask the question whether it’s better to use printed wallpaper borders or whether they should stencil or paint a border. There is no real answer to this question because it all depends on how much free you have, whether you like to paint and whether or not you can find a suitable matching border at the store.
There’s no argument that buying a nursery wall border will probably make the project go faster. The purchase of a quality pre-pasted vinyl wall border could be a bit more expensive than stenciling a decorative border. Painting your own stenciled border will take more time than pasting up a printed border even if you buy a stencil pattern. Decorating the walls using stenciling may be less expensive. Designing your own unique baby wall border can also be fun. And who wants to miss such an excellent chance to show off their artistic abilities?
Shop around and you might get lucky and stumble upon a cute wallpaper border that’s on sale. Before buying up all the rolls that are left in the store, have the exact measurements of your baby’s nursery know precisely how many rolls of wallpaper border that you will need. It would be awful to run out of border only to discover that there’s no more to be found in your color or style and that the pattern has been discontinued.
Painting a stenciled border rather than hanging bought baby border can be loads of fun. If you paint you have a much better chance of getting an exact color match to existing nursery paint color. You can purchase a border pattern your own reusable stencil patterns. The idea of making their own stencil patterns appeals to many people.
Most baby stencil designs are very easy to draw and to cut. Start with something as simple as a picture of your baby’s foot or handprints use them to draw your pattern. Cut your designs in the plastic stencil sheets and then you are ready to use your baby border stencils to stamp some cute nursery decorations for baby, personalize baby gear or you can use them to make your own special baby party invitations.
