Making a Mobile

Supplies needed:

• Fabric: I got a yard of each grey and yellow and had way too much. For the Green and blue I just got fabric sample squares from Joann's, and it was just right for one each.
• Ribbon: I got all white, but you could use one color to wrap the hoop and another color to hang the poof balls.
• Wood Embroidery Hoop: The middle comes out, so there is nothing on the outside
• Styrofoam Balls: I bought 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch, but ended up just using the smaller (they seem bigger once the fabric is on them)
• Glue gun: With lots of hot glue sticks
• Good fabric scissors
• Keyring 
• A small circle: To measure the circles before cutting (I used a glass cup)  
• A pencil: To draw the circles on the back of the fabric
• Small bows: To attach to where the poof balls attach to the Embroidery Hoop
• A lighter
• Friends and a good movie! 

Wrap Embroidery Hoop and Keyring with ribbon, and hot glue the ends.

• Trace about 30 circles for each poof ball you are making 
• Cut the circles out

• Fold each circle in 1/2 (color on the outside)
• Place a dot of glue on the inside at the center of the crease
• Then fold in 1/2 again
• Place another dot of glue in the center of the crease
• They will look like little fortune cookies 

Cover the styrofoam balls with about 30 little folded circles attaching with hot glue

Finished poof balls will look like this

• Once poof balls are finished hot glue them to different lengths of ribbon.
• Hot glue them to the Embroidery Hoop evenly spaced apart.
• Hot glue 4 evenly measured pieces of ribbon  to the Embroidery Hoop between the ribbons to the poof balls going up.
• Tie each of the ribbons going up to the keyring 
• Hot glue bows to where the ribbons for the poof balls attach to the Embroidery Hoop
• Tie a bow on top
• Then with lighter gently burn the ends of all ribbon, so they don't fray 

We haven't hung it yet, because I can't settle on where I want the crib.

 Hanging it from the ceiling is the last step :)
