Mod mobile

This bright and cheerful mobile was created using scrapbook paper, fishing line, a wreath form, and ribbon. It is for my new niece’s nursery, but also served as the centerpiece decoration at her baby shower!

I grabbed a bunch of scrapbook paper in colors that will coordinate with the nursery and used 3 different sized paper punches to create a Big Old Pile of shapes.

Then I used fishing line and a medium sized sewing needle to create long and short strips. I tied small knots in between each shape so they stayed spaced correctly and didn’t all fall to the bottom of the string.

I spray painted a green wire floral wreath form to use as the base of my mobile. As I tied each strip onto the orange base, I put a few drops of Krazy Glue at each of the contact points so those strips stayed put.

I wove a brown ribbon around the edge to finish it off, and I really like it. It is bright and modern, sure to keep the baby happy!

Just a Tip!

Instructions

# 1

Punch out lots of different shapes of your scrapbook paper. Cut out long and shorter pieces of fishing line, mine were about 1 ft and 2 ft. Thread your needle with the fishing line and begin to thread your shapes onto the strip. Tie a little knot between each shape so they stay spaced out on each strip.

# 2

When all of your strips are finished, I used about 20, start tying them onto your wreath form (I spray painted mine to match). After double knotting each strip, I added a dot of Krazy Glue (or you could use hot glue) to keep each strip from sliding around the form.
