Supplies To Make Your Woodland Nursery Decor:
Set of three nursery printable art (claim them at the bottom of this post)
Paint mixing sticks or craft wood strips (If you go with the paint sticks, make sure it has a blank side, so it won’t show through once you stain the wood)
Wood Stain (here’s the one we used)
Staple Gun (the one we used) along with these size Staples Optional
Woodland Nursery Decor Instructions
Make the Cuts
Step 1. Cut your wood mixing sticks to your desired length. We chose to leave 3/4 of an inch overhang on each side of the picture.
Using the piece that you have marked for your length, go ahead and line it up on the table saw stacked with all the other wood pieces you will need. Each picture required 4 wooden paint sticks (two for the bottom of the picture and two for the top).
With our 10 inch saw it was safer and easier to cut two rows of six.
Make sure to at least cut them in pairs if you are not able to do it like this all-in-one cut. This will ensure they are the same exact length and the ends meet nicely.
Helpful Tip: We used a scrap piece of wood at the end to line all of our peices up flush.
Stain the Wood
Step 2. Once the cutting is out of the way, stain your paint sticks and allow plenty of time to dry.
Ready for Hot Glue
Step 3. Lay your piece of wood so that the unfinished ruler side is facing up. Run a bead of glue down the center and lay your printable centered over top of your glue (picture facing up so the backside is being pressed into glue). You will want to be fast when getting it in place, the glue dries quickly.
Step 4. Run another bead of glue over top of the printable then lay another wood piece of top making sure you place it even and centered with the bottom piece. Press down and apply pressure with either the palms of your hand or knuckles.
Step 5. Repeat this process for the bottom half of the printable page.
Add String
Step 6. Now measure your string and make it 1.5 times the length of your wood.
Flip your nursery prints over, so you can now attach the string to the back of the wood. Make sure the prints are right side up so you don’t make a rookie mistake and put the string on the wrong end. Begin by tying a small knot on each side of your string. Now staple where the edge of the paper is.
Pro-Tip: If your staple does not go in all the way or doesn’t seem tight enough, gently hit it in with a hammer. If you don’t have a heavy-duty stapler, you can substitute the process just by applying a generous amount of hot glue to secure the string.
That’s all there is to it! You’re all finished with this nursery printable project! Now you have some lovely nursery prints to hang on your nursery wall!
I really loved how our woodland nursery wall turned out, I hope you enjoyed this quick DIY.
