DIY BABY MOBILE, 10 Do-It-Yourself Hanging Mobiles

5/10/2014

Diy Baby Mobiles are a fun and unique way to hang all kinds of art around the house. Traditionally, they were hung over cribs where babies sleep, but today the Diy Baby Mobiles we have rounded up here are made with all kinds of crafty mediums and prove that you don't need a baby in the house to have some cool hanging art around you!

1.) Butterfly Mobile

2.) Spin Art Mobile

3.) Pom Mobile:

In this version, we included alternating versions of super fluffy fun pom poms, and while I found quite a variety of tutorials online/youtube, I thought I’d share my version, here.

Begin by using a template {the top of a coffee mug, a small bowl, etc.} to create your circle on a piece of cardboard. This is how large your pom pom will be. Create an inner circle, and cut both out. Repeat this step on another piece of cardboard. Enlarge your slit on one side, to the shape of a small ‘V’ for easier yarn management. Your two cardboard pieces will look like a C. Place them together.

Once you have it wrapped, go back with scissors, or an exacto, and cut the yarn loose that wraps around the edges. {Watch your fingers if you work with an exacto…that’s my sis in law holding that yarn, and there’s a reason her pointy was covered in mickey mouse. ;}}

Once it’s free, Pull it through the “v” of the “c” and secure it by either tying it, or with a small rubber hair tie. {You can totally score containers of these in the baby section of Walmart} I prefer the hair ties because they’re easier to control, and come in handy when I string the twine through the pom pom to put it on the mobile.

4. Geometric Paper Lanterns by Hank and Hunt for Oh Happy Day

5. Sphere Mobile by Facing North With Gracia

Geometrics aren’t going anywhere soon, why not include them in your party decor? I saw a tissue paper lantern in a vintage party book and it looks so current in monochromatic hues. Change it into any shade you want by choosing from the array of tissue papers available. Materials Needed: tissue paper (a variety of shades can be found here), double stick tape, scissors, needle, fishing line. Unfold your tissue paper and take two sheets. Fold in half length-wise. Accordion fold the tissue paper in three quarter of an inch increments. Note: to make shorter lanterns and vary the sizes, trim the open edges shorter. The center fold line should face down, as shown. Unfold and open while keeping the two sheets layered on each other. Pinch one end back together accordion style. Cut a strip of fishing line about 12 inches long and use it to thread a medium sized needle. Push the needle through the entire accordion gather and tie both ends together to make a circle. Play with the folds to make them evenly dispersed before knotting permanently. Repeat on the other end. Use a piece of double stick tape to layer the two edges together in the center. Press gently with your fingers to crisp up any deflated crease lines. Repeat and make many, many more; these look great en masse. Hang and enjoy. Oh, and those cute little streamers? Just the scraps left over from making the shorter lanterns. How do you make party decorations stand out from the usual stand-by?

6. Origami Mobile via Project Nursery

7. Cloud Mobile by Petit Poulou PDF Instructions - here Inspired (and intimidated!) by all the great nursery designs on the web, I decided that it really is possible to create a great, personal space on a tight budget. Owen's nursery is filled with lovingly DIY'd, thrifted, and gifted objects that we've collected and arranged in little ways that make us happy. We aren't allowed to paint our walls, so it's been fun trying to figure out other ways to bring some color to the room. I know it still needs some work (need to get an area rug!!), but this room is now the most loved corner of our little house

10. Paint Chip Circle Mobile by Everything Designish Materials:
1 roll of clear jewelry thread
1 embroidery ring
4 different colors of cardstock
1" circle punch
2" circle punch
hot glue gun
sewing needle

There have been a lot of different variations of this mobile floating around on Pinterest. There's a paint swatch version out there, versions with more circles, less circles, ombre circles, scalloped circles, chain-linked circles...I could go on and on.

Side story: I actually made a paint swatch "chandelier" that was intended for use in Daphne's room. I used a 1" circle punch to cut hundreds of circles out of different pink paint swatches I had Brian swipe from Lowes. It took weeks to finish and in the end, I kind of hate it. I'm too proud to just throw it in the trash -- so it's currently hanging in my office. Too soon to toss it. Two of the reasons I'm not happy with it: 1) despite following instructions, you can still see the text on the back of each swatch, and 2) each strand is very finicky and will not hang perfectly straight. Because of these two snafus, when I decided to make a mobile for baby boy's room, I went a different route. And this time I made up my own instructions.

I bought one embroidery ring, a roll of clear jewelry thread, and 4 sheets of scrapbook card stock (dark blue, light blue, grey, and orange) from Joanns. The total cost of these items was around $5.

I used the inner part of the embroidery ring and tied 3 long pieces of the jewelry thread to it so it can hang from the ceiling. (It was nice to have the ring hanging from something while I attached each strand of circles.) I considered painting the ring, but in the end left it as is because we are using a lot of natural wood elements in his room. Each strand uses 14 circles -- 7 circles double sided. 5 strands.
70 circles total.

You can recreate this mobile in any color combination. You can attach more than 5 strands, less than 5 strands. Strand lengths can vary, circle size combinations can vary. You could even get cray-cray and use a different shape other than circles. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

How to make a Diy Baby Mobile

Babies love high contrast!The reason I started making baby mobiles is because I learned from Heckle’s physiotherapist that babies love black and white or high contrast. Yet, most of the mobiles I see in the shops are pastel colours with not much happening when you look up at them from the baby’s perspective. This means they may look pretty for adults, but they’re not that interesting for babies. You can choose any color felt to work in any scheme, however I would like to recommend that you use one very dark color or black and one very light colour or white. This will provide the interesting bits for the baby. The rest of the colors you can choose to keep the parents happy. Here's how to make a Diy Baby Mobile for yourself;

1. Outline the stencil on the cardboard and cut out. Draw an outline 1/4 inch wider than the stencil on to the card and cut out. Use this bigger cut out and draw an outline 1/4 inch wider and cut out. You should have three cardboard cut outs of birds, each 1/4 inch bigger than the other.

2. Pencil cut outs onto fabric and use different material for the different sizes of cut outs that you have created.

3. Now cut out the fabric for your Diy baby Mobile.

4. Now glue the cut out onto the fabric of the smaller cut out, or as many that you are doing.

5. After that, use a needle and fishing line with a bead through the middle of the cut outs.

6. Now glue the final cut out over the bottom of the cut outs, so you don't see the bead.

7. After the glue dries, tie the fishing line onto a Diy baby mobile Kit and You are Done!

If you Need a Baby Mobile frame, be sure to take a look at our Diy Baby Mobiles with lot's of colors to choose from or just purchase the Natural and paint it yourself! http://www.diybabymobile.com
