Baby & Big Girl Room - Part 2 - The Mobile

Pin It

So next up in the room was the mobile. This is what the first 2 had on their cribs and it is adorable...

However, it was not the look I was going for so I took matters into my own hands starting with the fabric I had used on the banner...

I sketched a birdie the size and shape that I wanted, cut it out, and used it as my stencil. I then cut 2 birds out of each fabric...

I found ribbon from the stash that I wanted to hang them from. I pinned them together with the ribbon tucked inside...

I then sewed all around the birdie leaving a small opening at the bottom for stuffing...

Next I stuffed my little birdies...

And then sewed them shut...

Now I had 5 simple and pretty little birdies all ready to hang...

I removed the old animals from the mobile first. Then I pushed the ribbon through the holes for each bird and tied a double knot...

And there it was, the birdie mobile I had dreamed of. Simple and pretty, just the look I was going for...

After the mobile was complete, my Mom sent me some aqua fabric with birdies all over it. I wanted to incorporate it into the room so I made a new birdie and replaced one of the pink ones.

But I found a great home for the extra pink birdie on the girls' closet doorknob...

I will be joining these parties this week. Come check them out!

See you next week for Part 3! Have a happy Tuesday!
