DIY hanging mobile in Fimo clay and natural wood

The terrazzo round pendant

• Make a flat white circle
• Flatten blue dough
• Using a knife, cut small pieces of various shapes from the blue dough
• Place the pieces on the white circle
• Flatten with your fingers and a rolling pin

Striped stars

• Flatten two rectangles of different colors to the same thickness (approx. 0.5 cm)
• Cut the strips in the 2 colors
• Place strips side by side to create stripes
• Flatten a little with a roller
• Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes

Mix the remaining colors to create multi-colored balls. Make thicker shapes (approx. 0.8 cm) so that you can pierce them from edge to edge to place them with other elements or to place elements in their center.

For the polka dot ball

• make a large ball
• take small pieces of another color, roll them into small balls then flatten and place on the large ball
• roll the ball in your hands to get the dots to fit (they will deform a little)
• pierce the ball edge to edge

For the wooden ring with ball in the center

• Drill the ring with a small drill bit
• Tuck the string into the top hole
• Thread the ball
• Make one or more knots to hold the ball in place
• Place the string in the bottom hole of the ring

The other pendants are made up of different pieces threaded onto a string, with knots, with or without beads, to hold the pieces in place.

Mobile assembly :

Cut 2 pieces of nylon wire, 1 m each.
Wrap the middle of the thread once around your 35 mm ring, let it hang for 30 cm, then tie a knot around your brass ring at each end, opposing your knots (north-south), then do the same (east-west).
Hang the items in the order you prefer (taking care to distribute the weight of the items evenly).
Then, with the remaining thread, cut 4 pieces to hang items directly from the brass ring, between your 4 "cardinal points".
I chose nylon thread because once your knots are made, burn the end to secure your knot as much as possible! You need to be very careful to check often that the knots are securely in place and that the mobile is placed out of children's reach.

**The 1mm beads have a hole too big for simple knotting, so place a gold spacer and tie your knots.
** The large faceted bead also requires you to place a wooden bead and a spacer before tying your knot.
