How to make a baby mobile? How to make a felt mobile?
What could be better than decorating your baby's room yourself? Or perhaps you're looking for a pretty birth gift to make yourself?
Marine from the Mint and Paper blog suggests you make a felt mobile to decorate baby's nursery - how cool is that?
The color tones don't match your dream decor? Don't panic, take a look at our range of felt colors: green, pink, yellow, sand, polka dots, geometric or Moroccan patterns... in short, you're bound to find what you're looking for!

Start by choosing the colors, shapes and size of your mobile. Go for a cameo of colors to avoid spreading yourself too thin.
Opt for warm hues: copper pink, mustard, brick red and a hint of green. All of which blend perfectly with the brass circle.
Print the templates you can download. Feel free to change the percentage when printing.
Cut them out and place them on your felt sheets. Then cut out using the patterns you've pinned to prevent them from moving.
Tip: save time by folding your felt sheet in half. You can cut out two similar shapes at the same time. They'll be the same size, so it'll be easier to sew them together later.
Each little shape should have a front and a back, which you need to sew together. Stitch with a thread of a color close to the color of the felt. Assemble with a needle, and remember to leave a small slit to fill your shape with wadding before closing it permanently.
Once you've sewn the desired number of small elements, all you have to do is position them on wires and hang them from your brass circle. To hang them, pass your thread through a needle and stitch the shapes in the desired order. They're ready to hang! Just remember to tie a knot at the bottom of each part to hold the last element and prevent it from falling into the cradle.
