Jungle
Room Plan
Jungles
are always swingin’ scenes! Your little monkey is certain
to love these fun new animal buddies in his or her room.
Wall
Color
First, paint the walls with a semi-gloss latex paint.
Almost any color will work with this design, although a very
light golden yellow or tan are recommended.
Next,
find a paw print stamp. They are available through craft
supply stores or you can make your own. (See CraftCentralStation.com
for instructions.) You’ll also need acrylic craft paints
in black or dark brown. Brush the paint onto the stamp,
then stamp prints around closet, windows and entry door frames.
Now
paint one wall randomly with odd shaped black spots at least
4” in length or width using the acrylic craft paints.
Finally, add fun and colorful animals to the picture using
the Jumpin’ Jungle Mural Kit from WallNutz.
Window
Treatments
Buy leopard or tiger print fabric from the store. Hem
the raw ends of the fabric. Then drape the fabric over
curtain rods, tying corners onto rod with rafia or 1” black
or green ribbon, allowing middle section of fabric to drape
down. You can also use a flat twin sheet in place of
fabric, which is handy because the sheet edges are already
hemmed.
Instead
of curtains, you can create a simple window treatment by placing
silk vines over the window trim. Secure the vines with
tacks and florists wire, letting the vines drape down along
the sides of the window. Make sure the vines are out
of reach of infants and small children.
Finishing
Touches
Add hand painted knobs to dresser drawers and closet doors. These
are easy to make yourself. Home Depot and Lowe's carry unfinished
wooden drawer pulls in various sizes. Prime the knobs, then paint
with acrylic craft paints. Finish with several coats of clear
polycrylic sealant.
Find a thick rope, 5' to 6' in length. Using a hot glue
gun, glue silk leaves to the rope to look like a vine. Hang
the rope in one corner of the room from two hooks secured in the
ceiling, spaced about 3’ apart and hanging down approximately
2’ from the ceiling. Attach each end of the rope to
a hook. Find a plush stuffed animal monkey and secure the
animal to the rope using clear fishing line. Make sure to
keep the rope and monkey away from cribs or beds and out of reach
of your child.
