Monkey Sign and tree

I also made a monkey banner to go above his closet. It's the same as the spring banner I made last spring.

Here's the Grow Love Tree my second grade students made for baby boy last spring! 

Sock Monkey Mobile

My friend Sam gave us a plain, white mobile with a music box to decorate and turn into a sock monkey mobile.

First I cut out a large rectangle and folded the corners around the mobile. I used heat and bond to make the corners stay. I added ribbon to the edges. 

Next I sewed a skinny sleeve to go over the plastic arm holding the mobile. Last I added the 4 cute sock monkeys.

Changing table

Originally we were going to have a dresser in baby boy's room, but our room is much too small. I looked on Craigslist and we picked up a changing table for $25! It didn't quiet match the finish on our crib so I painted it to match the contrasting wall in his room.

After it was sanded

Painting the table. I used a sample size container.

All finished! 

Sock monkey tree

Our friend Carolynn gave us the idea to make a sock monkey tree by the crib. She had cut down two large branches for us to use. We went to Home Goods and purchased a large vase. We put the branches into the vase and then decorated with all different sock monkeys!
