Okay, so they actually have this as a series of Sunday afternoon craft projects, but Thursdays usually more productive for me (since my Sundays are usually spent doing laundry and cooking mass meals for the week) so I figured it was great to share today! Yay!
I love the simplicity of the project and how they used a wooden embroidery hoop as the mobile frame! It just so happens that I picked up a whole handful of those on one of my past thrift shopping adventures too! Yes! I'm actually thinking of switching out the paint chips (since I haven't done any house painting in the last decade) for craft paper and I'll be set! Now I just need to justify the need for a mobile in my young child-free apartment and we'll be cooking with gas! Haha! Ok, or maybe I'll put this one on the back burner for another crafty afternoon. What do you think? What kind of mobile would you make?
I think I would stick with the paint chips. the sample paper will be thicker and they are completely free (just a trip to home depot!) I think it would be cool to make them hang from the bottom of a (hanging) planter pot... then ad twinkle lights!
ReplyDeleteDid I say this is awesome? because it is!
ReplyDeleteI have made mobiles but can't remember what I used. I also brought one back from England and can't remember it either. Knowing me I might still have it packed away somewhere. Oh, yes I like the one you have posted.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! I'd stick with paint chips too, though I'd do star shapes instead of circles, and maybe add some twinkle lights like Lindsay! Oh, and I know a young girl who would loooove one of these, if you're in the crafting mood :)
ReplyDeleteOK I feel that you can have a whimsical mobile in your home for your own personal enjoyment. No children required!
