THINGS NEEDED:

Mobile Supplies

  1. Find a few sticks outside. It’s ok if they have branches, just trim them to your liking. I used 3 sticks for my mobile.
  2. Place the sticks on the floor or table and arrange them so the centers line up.
  3. Take a long piece of yarn and wind it around in multiple figure 8’s to secure the sticks. Use a decent amount of string to make sure that they will stay in place, then secure with a tight knot.Mobile Tie Sticks
  4. Using more yarn, and different colors if you wish, wrap the yarn around the sticks to cover and tie at the end to secure.Mobile wrapping yarn
  5. Make you paper airplanes out of colored paper. Here is the folding tutorial I used: Fold n Fly                       Mobile Planes
  6. Using a hot glue gun, glue 5 cotton balls together to make a cloud, then wrap some white yarn around the cotton balls to give the cloud more definition.
  7. Tie string onto each cloud, and tape a string on to each plane. Next, tie the other ends of the strings to the mobile at various length.Mobile planes
  8. Lastly, tie a string to the top of the sticks, where they intersect, to create a hanging string.
  9. Place above your little one’s crib, making sure it is securely fastened to the ceiling.                                                                                                                     Mobile CompleteMobile Collage
