How to Decorate a Baby's Room With Flash Cards

Flashcards with words, letters or numbers won’t be something a baby will use for several years. However, these cards can provide an inexpensive decorating option for your newborn’s nursery. Using flash cards as decorative objects fits well with an alphabet motif in the baby’s room. Find flashcards that contain pictures as well, to add colorful illustrations to the environment. Use one or several decorating methods in the process.

  Create flashcard garlands and hang them from the walls or ceiling of the baby’s room. Use a straight stitch on a sewing machine along the top of the flash cards to create a string of the objects. Hang a thin rope along the wall and attach each flash card with a mini-clothespin as an alternative.
