Tutu’s and Ballet Slippers

All this ballet bedding calls for decorations in the bedroom based on costumes from your favorite ballet.
With all the beautiful costumers that come with ballet and dance, decorating ideas for a ballet beadroom are halfway there.

One of the simplist and effective ideas is to display your little girl’s tutu and ballet slippers (or any other ballet costumes) on the wall.

Or try hanging her tutu on a personalized, monogrammed wooden clothes hanger with her ballet toe shoes on the floor in an attractive arrangement.

Quick, easy and inexpensive

Colours

Soft cream, powder pink, lilac and gold are great colours for a  DIY ballerina themed bedrooms. Basically any pastel colours will work.  That’s not to say that modern ballerina bedroom decorating ideas using fairy ballerinas bedding sets in bold colours would not be interesting and fun.
Tween girls might prefer a bolder look rather than fluffy pastel feel.

Silhouette Murals -Again!

Oh OK! I know I did a post recently on Silhouette murals, but I’m doing another one because by all accounts silhouette murals are a winner!BECAUSE..

1. They are easy to so.
2. They are cheap as far as paint goes.You only need one colour (Great budget decor idea!)
3. They can be as subtle or as bold as you like.

So the reason why I thought I’d bring them up again is because of these new Silhouette mural designs with a Safari theme.

Whimsical AND sophisticated!
Paint by number paper patterns
Paint the silhouettes in a dark brown over lavender, pink or any other colour to make a bold statement.

For a more subtle look paint it in a colour slightly lighter or darker than your wall colour. You can even repeat and reverse parts or the entire mural.

How cute are these?

Keeping it Simple

If you want to keep it really simple as far as painting goes, consider a  silhouette mural.
Silhouettes don’t need to be black, personally I think  it’s better if they aren’t, especially in a child’s bedroom.

Brown on blue or brown on a pink background look both look fantastic together.

You could even go for a subtler look, by painting your background a pale colour and paint your silhouettes a shade darker than the background.

Where to find a silhouette image

Loads of subjects could make a great silhouette, as long as the form is simple and clear.

Find an image in a chosen theme.
Trace the outline of the picture and voila you have a silhouette.
Enlarge your image with the aid of a photocopier, or trace it onto transparent film and enlarge the image onto the wall using an overhead projector or craft projector.
If you’re lucky enough to have a video projector (the kind you can attach to a laptop computer) then any image you find on the internet can be easily projected onto the wall and traced.

Paint in your shape in a colour of your choice.

Top Tip- Buy tester pots of acrylic paint to paint your silhouette mural. They come in loads of colours to choose from.

Alternatively you can buy a ready to trace pattern and transfer paper like these below from the Magic Mural Factory and Wallstory Murals

My final DIY silhouette mural idea for you

Using your children as the models for a truly unique mural.

You will need
A bright light or projector
A darkened room
A Pencil.
Paint brushes and acrylic paint

How to do it

Aim your light at the wall.
Have your kids strike interesting poses in front of the light creating a good shadow on the wall.
Make sure they can keep still for a little while, before tracing around the shadow on the wall.
Paint in the silhouettes in any colour you wish.
