Mobile DIY

I have a thing for fabric and paper and the patterns that they come in. We have recently installed panel track from Ikea. I can now install mini exhibits in my home until we get to hanging the Ikea bamboo dividers from the track.

For now, you get to learn how to do a easy mobile. I had the sewing machine handy so for the first time I sewed paper!

 Supplies Needed:

• scissors
• paper or fabric - remnants will be perfect!
• glue (optional for double sided goodness)
• thread -in any old colour
• sewing machine

Instructions:

1. Cut out random shapes (hearts, spheres, birds, stars, whatevs) *glue paper/fabric together
2. With dogfoot down, run thread a few inches through the sewing machine
3. Insert first paper/fabric and sew
4. Continue with dogfoot down, and add a few inches of thread
5. Add a second piece and feed away until you have built a beautiful mobile!
6. I started to get fancy once all pieces were sewn. I cut down the middle and slid over in a criss-cross fashion..making it three dimensional.
