DIY: Baby Boy Mobile
3:36 PMI walked into Target the other day and stopped by the dollar bins like I always do. I was beyond excited when I discovered these little wooden airplanes. Not only is my little boy totally obsessed with airplanes, but his room is in dire need of some decor. I decided I would make him a mobile with the little planes that I found, and this is how I did it!
1. First I painted a giant quilting hoop.



*hot glue gun
*plastic beading string
*pins
*ribbon
*super glue

4. After I glued the clouds together in groups I got the plastic bead string out. I simply tied a double knot near the top of the pin. At the knot I dripped a drop of super glue so the know would stay tight. I did this 3 times, one for each bunch of clouds.
7. Finally get some ribbon and cut four pieces that are the same length. Tie them on the hoop and secure with hot glue. (See picture below to see how I did it)
8. Hang it up! Your done!
( I don't recommend that this homemade mobile hang above a bed or crib for safety reasons. In my case I put over his dresser and rocking chair where we read books each night.)

great idea! Love the dollar bin and wish we lived near a targe! Turned out great.
ReplyDeleteVery cute mobile. Perhaps if I can find planes similar to these I can make my son one, too. He is in need of some decor in his side of the room (shares with his sister for now). I found you through Pinterest and someone pinning this tutorial.
