DIY Yarn Wrapped Mobile

by

So many cute stuffed Christmas ornaments are in the stores at the moment, and now you have the perfect way to use them year round! This DIY mobile can be tailored for a boy or girl and can match any nursery décor. Just find some small stuffed cloth ornaments that fit your nursery theme, grab some coordinating yarn and ribbon, along with a few other supplies, and you are on your way to creating an adorable addition to your baby’s room.

Materials Needed:

Step 1: Separate the embroidery hoops and, using hot glue, attach one end of the yarn to the inside of the inner piece of the embroidery hoop. Begin wrapping the yarn, very tightly, around the hoop until fully covered. Glue in place to secure.

Step 2: Attach ribbon at various lengths to the tops of the ornaments with hot glue. You also can hand sew the ribbon, if desired. Loop and glue the ribbons over the embroidery hoop, spacing them evenly.

Step 3: Loop three more ribbons around the embroidery hoop, adjusting the lengths until the hoop hangs evenly. Tie together. Attach one more long ribbon to the three that are tied together to hang from the ceiling. 

Step 4: Once your ribbon is at the desired length, use thumbtacks to attach it to the ceiling or loop it around a ceiling hook.
