nursery animal wall art
Earlier this week we showed you some foxy pallet art for my cousin’s baby shower. I thought I’d share my good friend’s nursery animal wall art that I made specifically for her baby shower…also her baby gift for her sweet son! I love how this quick art turned out. Animal silhouettes painted on wood plaques, distressed a little. Easy and cute.
I wanted to match my pal Ashlee’s invitation’s color scheme since it was modeled after her darling nursery. Grays, whites, light aqua and pale yellow. Her invite had a lion, giraffe and elephant on it so I stuck with those same animals.
A quick google search popped up these cute nursery jungle silhouette images from Wall Pops.
This was an easy project, same technique we use in all our stencil projects. This time I had my favorite 10 year old assistant helping me paint!
Give them a quick sand with your mouse sander (or by hand with light grit sandpaper) then seal with Americana’s DuraClear satin varnish. Gives it a pretty sheen and will prevent chipping.
That’s all there is to it. This was one of the easiest projects due to the nursery animal silhouette shapes. Much easier than wording and it’s so mom-to-be’s style, clean and simple.
Mama loved it. We ended up using these as decor for the shower before she hung them in baby’s room. Double use, score!

Love this! What is the size of the plywood you used? Thanks
I was wondering if you have these in a printable form? We don’t have a projector to be able to trace them.
Thanks so much, I love these animals!
Do you sell these wall art animals? If so I would love to purchase the exact 3 you made for your friend’s shower.
Just e-mailed you! 🙂 XO
I love these for my grey and white nursery, but I don’t have a machine that cuts vinyl. Do you sell these canvases or the vinyl cut outs?
Hi Meghan,
Thank you! We don’t sell vinyl anymore but our good friend Marni does and she is affordable and fast! [email protected] (:
These are so cute, I’d love to make them for my son’s nursery. Where did you purchase your vinyl cutter from? Do you recommend any specific type or brand?
Thanks Jessica! We snagged our cutter (Cameo) from Silhouette America. I’ve heard the Cricut Explore is pretty nice but we haven’t personally used it. 🙂 Have fun crafting!
We use an EnduraCut Plus and love it! The program is pricey. We recently started using Silhouette and are happy with that as well! Cost effective!!
Great project, lucky you to have a super assistant!
These are so adorable! I love them! 🙂
These are so cute! I love the simplicity! New follower 🙂
These are adorable! I’m sure they look adorable in the nursery.
Love it!! I love that it matched her nursery and invitations! Glad she got to display them on her table as decorations so everyone could see. They are adorable!!
so fun! i love these. they are perfect for the nursery and so easy to make.
Those are so sweet!!
I LOVE these – great job. So easy, and they look very PB’ish. 🙂
I love this idea! I’m in the process of putting together an animal themed room for my little guy so this post couldn’t have come at a better time. Woo hoo!
