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:
Instructions:
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!
- scissors
- paper or fabric - remnants will be perfect!
- glue (optional for double sided goodness)
- thread -in any old colour
- sewing machine
Instructions:
- Cut out random shapes (hearts, spheres, birds, stars, whatevs) *glue paper/fabric together
- With dogfoot down, run thread a few inches through the sewing machine
- Insert first paper/fabric and sew
- Continue with dogfoot down, and add a few inches of thread
- Add a second piece and feed away until you have built a beautiful mobile!
- 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.
