Angry Bird's

Today’s Pinterest project is a mobile for our little boy. We thankfully still had the parts for the mobile from our daughters room but didn’t feel like the animal print fit well in Bruce’s Guitar/Space/Comic book theme (if you can call it a theme) so I came up with the brilliant idea to make our own. I have now spent 5 months trying to find the perfect item, only to finally settle on angry birds; which I believe Deric suggested when we were still pregnant.  

Supplies Used:
Parts from old mobile- include motor and hook as well as plastic hanger.
Angry bird pencil toppers - $10

Cloud theme fabric for cover - $4

Needle and thread – Had on hand.

Springy (yes this is my technical term) yarn- $2.

Hem Tape- $3

First, I measured the length I wanted the birds to hang and cut the “springy” yarn according to size. I then tied a knot in one end and threaded the other end with a needle. I was able to push the needle and yarn threw the pencil hole of the bird, so it was able to come out the top. I then tied and knotted the birds to the plastic hanger I had from Taylor’s old mobile.

Next I measured and cut the fabric for the mobile cover. I simply made a square that was large enough to cover the plastic hanger at all four points then I added an inch and a half for over hang to give a more finished appearance. I used hem tape to make all the sides have a nice clean finish and snipped all the corners so they would hang down for the desired look.

Below is the mid process result at this point I just need to sew up the edges and hang it. J Were very happy with how its looking and cant wait for our little man to enjoy it.
