It’s celebration time in the Craftery house! We’re all so excited to welcome a brand new niece this week! Since the only girl on my husband’s side for a couple of generations has been our Bean, it’s so wonderful to add another sweet baby girl to the family!
While I’ve got babies on the brain, I’m inspired to create a roundup of 10 adorable paper crafts for new babies.
As far as my own quilling work, I created my custom monograms and cupcakes with the thought that they’d be perfect for a nursery. In fact, the Bean has some hanging in her room at this very moment!

My new obsession is paper cut art, and this papercut birth announcement by Made By Julene is perfection! She captures so many details in her work.

I think this amazing take on the paper lantern trendΒ by Linda Albrecht for GlueArts is meant for a wedding, but it would look beautiful as nursery lighting too!

This pom-pom ball made from dyed doilies by Beth Kruse Custom Creations is now on my to-do list. I even love the hanging ribbon she chose!

I love the idea of using vintage quilts as wall hangings. Since pricey quilts are not in my decorating budget, I think I’ll borrow a page from Recipe for Crazy and make a paper version!

It’s never too early to foster a love of learning! Maybe you could create a reading nook in your baby’s nursery and add some paper covered letters like these from The Love Nerds.

This stunning backdrop by Kathryn Godwin for the Ruffled Blog was created with circles and twine. How about creating an ombre effect or a rainbow by using different colored paper?
