You've also spent countless hours dreaming up the perfect name for your little bundle of joy, and by displaying this choice on the nursery's wall you're creating the world's most sentimental and decorative gesture.

angela_flute52689 I also like the idea of assigning each baby shower guest a letter of the alphabet to decorate and bring to use as wall decor. You could do the same with the baby's name and have them guess it too.

klbklyn Is this in case parents forget their name? Or in case they don't learn narcissistic self-promotion young enough to beat out all their little peers? I do not get this.

clyon I think this can be a cute decorating idea. We're holding off painting our kids' play room but I felt it needed a little something on the bland walls. I bought mdf letters for my kids' names at the craft store and then used colorful magazine cutouts to decoupage. I'm not very artistic or crafty so the workmanship probably leaves something to be desired, but it's a cute addition to our play room and was easy to do. And an enjoyable "me time" evening activity - one letter a night...

Uppercase Living Ind. Demonstrator Jean Danieu Fantastic job clyon….they look great! I also like the idea of turning baby's name into sentimental nursery wall art. I have designed several embellished names for friends, family and customers using vinyl. This is an excellent way to transform a nursery, bedroom or playroom.
