Featured DIY – Mason’s Mobile
Thank you to Tegan for sharing her son’s adorable diy mobile! visit her blogs, babyvalone.blogspot.com and eastsacmom.wordpress.com.
Since we moved (yes, again) I’ve been slowly working on Mason’s room. He will actually have a cute, coordinated, fun nursery one of these days very soon. One of my projects was to make a mobile inspired by the circles in his Target Dwell Studio crib bedding.
As you can imagine, this involved cutting out a lot of circles. I mean a lot. This project took a while but I think the outcome was totally worth it. First I selected paper colors that matched the colors of the bedding, then I traced (and traced… and traced…) about 200-1 1/2″ circles.
The circles are strung on fishing line suspended from a 12″ embroidery loop which I painted brown (the accent color from the walls.) You could probably use a sewing machine to connect the circles but our new house is small and I’m noisy enough on my own, without the machine. I used tape to attach the circles to the fishing line and was able to work on it while sitting in the living room watching TV with Tage in the evenings.

This is adorable! I don't have a baby but I think this would be cute in my art room!
Tegan and Tage
Thanks! And Angela, I actually hung the mobile on the top of a floor lamp while I wasn't working on it and it was super cute– you could totally use this in lieu of a chandelier too.
