This is my next project as I have lots of left over fabric around.   Not sure where they will hang, perhaps once again, something for my niece’s nursery.

Or if that is a little time intensive then how about these beautiful birds designed by Inke, made out of vintage wallpaper they come as a pair with adhesive and instructions; from one of the prettiest websites I have seen recently Enfant Terrible.  I could imagine them as a border around a room or just along one wall…perhaps make your own with a selection of pretty paper.
