Last night, one of my friends had a baby shower for her first little girl and I helped out with a few decorations. Instead of making my usual paper decor, I decided to go with decorations she could reuse for the nursery.
First up, a little owl mobile to go with the nursery bedding she picked out:
After a quick
pinterest search, I found tons of handmade owl mobile inspiration, but I particularly liked this
mobile made by etsy seller EvelynX.
I also found a really cute template for an owl ornament on the blog,
Juicy Bits - you can get the template
here. I love finding a good template. It really speeds a project along.
Putting a mobile like this together is really easy, because it just hangs from two wooden dowels. I marked three spots on each dowel (one on each end and one in the middle) and drilled a little hole with my smallest drill bit:
Then, thread your decorations through and tie a knot to hold the string in place. Wrap the strings several times around the crossed dowels to keep them in a + position. If all of your decorations are the same, balancing the mobile should be fairly easy.
And that's it! Hang in a nursery and let baby enjoy. :)
