DIY Baby Mobile

I found some cute Christmas ornaments at Target that didn't even look like seasonal goods so for the low low price of .10 - .30 cents a piece I was sold!!!   I never had a baby mobile probably cause I never had a baby actually sleep in a crib but I figured this would look cute near the new ones cradle I have. I used the left over stars for my other children's rooms.

What you need :

You can use old or new coat hangers depending on the style room you have.... Paint the hangers stripe them polka dot them whatever you like !

You could also use wooden hoops found in the craft store for a circular effect... use them plain... glitter them or spray paint them endless ways to dress up a hoop.

Fishing line or twine whatever fits your style!

Objects to hang ( I'm using ornaments )

I gathered some small filigree wings that I purchased at the craft store and some little bells.

I used a drummel to make the holes in the coat hanger you can use a drill or just tie the strings around the top depending on the look you want. 

Now obviously if you're hanging these above a babies crib please tie all your goodies tight and secure. I never hang anything I make unless it's fabric right over my sleeping area but off to the side...

TOTAL COST.... under $5.00 for both
