If you're attending a baby shower or if you have a little one on the way yourself, these modern DIY nursery ideas will inspire you to create something handmade that appeals to moms, dads and babies, too!

Fearlessly Creative Mamas

Tutu Crib Skirt

Too too cute! If you love frilly, you'll love this tu-tutorial from Samantha at Fearlessly Creative Mammas. She used a cheap twin sheet and an easy no-sew technique for attaching the tulle all the way around.

Harper's Happenings

Door Moulding Frame for Baby's Name

What a great idea to use door moulding to frame wood letters on the wall — really makes a nice, bold statement. Learn more about how this nursery came together on Harper's Happenings.

Bijou Lovely Designs

Modern Baby Quilt

I love how the stripes and circles work together with solids in this modern quilt. The straight line quilting is perfectly perpendicular to the stripes and it adds a nice overall texture. The pattern is for sale through Bijou Lovely Designs.

Oh Happy Day

Hand-Painted Wall of Dots

The randomness of colors in a perfect grid is mesmerizing, isn't it? Yet there's a touch of rawness to the paint-stamped circles which makes it look much cooler than if it were stenciled. And you'll never guess what Jordan from Oh Happy Day used to stamp the circles!

Everything Designish

Cardstock Baby Mobile

Super cute, quick and easy to make! I love the ombre effect, too. Learn how it was made on Everything Designish.

Pour Mes Jolis Momes

Rainbow Cloud Wallhanging

This blog is in French, so you'll want to use a browser like Chrome that has a translator if you want to read the post ... but this adorable wallhanging is made with pieces of felt.
