Today I thought I’d share a project I’m really excited about.
DIY Birth Announcements!
At the end of this post I’ll share a link that shows you how to make your own!
Here’s a teaser of what they look like:
I know what you’re thinking…
No I didn’t just have a baby. My firstborn will be turning FOUR in May. The baby of our family is 15 months old. So no newborns here!
What I DO have is a lot of blank wall space in my home that needs some life. After searching through Pinterest for some ideas of inexpensive wall art I decided to make some (belated) birth announcements to hang as wall art.
With a little time, creativity, and PicMonkey.com, you can make a DIY birth announcement that look fabulous for a lot less!
Here’s the full example for a baby girl:
Here’s the full example for a baby boy:
I made one for my daughter and one for my son. (I changed names and info because I’m not comfortable with sharing all my kid’s stats.)

I’ve been on a HUGE PicMonkey kick lately. (Can you tell?!) Here’s an example of my first DIY Wall Art:
This wall art is very appropriate since this Sunday is Easter. Looking at this really helps me remember how much God loves me. And the heavy price Jesus paid for me.
So, how do you like to decorate blank walls in your home? I’d love to hear your ideas!

Love these Carrie! So special and unique! Thanks for linking up to Give Me the Goods!
Thanks, Jenna!
I love this idea! I don’t have a newborn at my house, but have several friends having babies. This is the perfect idea for a gift. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a wonderful day!
This would make a really sweet baby shower gift (hint, hint!) Thanks so much for stopping by, Brooke!
Great idea. We’ve been asked to create enlargements of our birth announcements that are suitable for framing. They make great keepsakes. You did a very nice job.
Thank you! This project is perfect for enlargements since they are printed off on pictures. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi Carrie,
I made something similar to these a few years ago for my grandchildrens rooms as a Christmas present (kids have everything these days) after seeing how expensive they were on esty..
They were a huge hit with my daughter and easy to adapt to any theme..
Thanks for stopping by to Memos in Stilettos through Frugal Crafty Home Blog.. A great way to connect with other bloggers..
Hi Jo! The inspiration for this project came from an etsy store! There’s so many great things available from esty but I try to make things on my own for less if I can! Thanks so much for stopping by! We’ve got a new blog hop starting tonight so feel free to link up!
How funny I just did these too 🙂 I am making a post about it sometime this month 🙂
Oh that’s cool–I can’t wait to see how they turn out! I had so much fun making them!
Awesome ideas!
