Crochet Hot Air Balloon Wall Hanging, Handmade Nursery and Kids Room Decor, Cream or Blue
Crochet Hot Air Balloon Wall Hanging, Handmade Nursery and Kids Room Decor, Cream or Blue
It is crocheted by hand, so no two balloons come out quite the same.
Details
This crochet hot air balloon wall hanging is made by hand, so stitch and tension shift a little from piece to piece and yours will not match the photo exactly. It is soft textile: no hard edges, no glass, nothing to shatter, which is the case for choosing it over a framed print in a baby's room. One hook or nail at a single point hangs it, and moving it leaves one small hole.
Nursery wall decor first, kids' room decor second. Hang it over the crib, in view of a baby lying down, above the changing table, or in a reading corner, alongside soft things like a wool rug, wooden toys, cotton bedding and a rattan basket. Cream blends into an oatmeal and white room and lets the shape carry it. Blue suits a room with some color already, striped curtains or a sage wall, without turning bright.
Textile, crocheted by hand, with a give and softness no printed or molded ornament has. Cream or blue. Keep it above the reach of small hands that tug, since crochet stretches. A lint roller or a gentle shake handles dust; for more, spot clean with mild soap on a damp cloth and dry flat, away from a radiator. Shaped crochet never goes in the washing machine.

Why it earns its place
Made by hand
Crocheted by hand, so the tension and the stitch vary slightly from one balloon to the next. Yours will not be a copy of the photo.
Cream or blue
Cream sinks into a neutral nursery and lets the shape do the work. Blue gives a pale room a spot of colour without going bright.
Hangs from one point
A single hook or nail and it is up, above a cot, a changing table or a reading corner. Moving it later leaves one small hole.
In your home
A nursery or a small child's room. Hang it above the cot where it can be seen from lying down, over the changing table, or in the corner where the reading chair lives. Because it is soft textile, it belongs in a room where a framed print with glass would make you nervous.
It sits well with other soft things: cotton bedding, a wool rug, wooden toys and a rattan basket. Cream suits an oatmeal and white scheme; blue is for a room with a little colour already, say a sage wall or striped curtains.
Materials and quality
The balloon is a textile piece, crocheted by hand. That is why the stitch and the tension vary a little between pieces, and why it has a softness and give that a printed or moulded ornament never has. It hangs from a single point at the top. What you get is a light, soft object with no hard edges, no glass and nothing to shatter, which is the reason to choose it over framed art for a child's room.
Care and everyday use
Hang it out of reach of small hands that pull, since crochet stretches. Dust it with a gentle shake or a lint roller. If it needs more than that, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it flat away from a radiator. Do not machine wash a shaped crochet piece.
Good to know
Will mine look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. Each balloon is crocheted by hand, so the stitch and tension vary slightly.
How does it hang?
From a single point at the top. One hook or nail is all it needs.
Is it suitable for a nursery?
That is what it is made for: soft textile, no glass and no hard edges. Hang it out of a child's reach, as with any hanging decoration.
