Instructions
-
Cut out one of the PDF shape outlines and use this as a template to draw your chosen shape one to the card or felt.
-
Repeat Step 1. You should have two identical shapes on your felt or card. Cut out the shapes from your card/felt.
-
Decorate your shapes using glitter, pens and anything else you wish to add.
You only need to decorate one side of each shape as you will stick them together as a pair later on.
-
Take one shape and cover the undecorated side with glue. Place a straw in the middle of your shape, the straw should slightly overlap the top and bottom of your shape. Stick the other shape on at this stage to create a 3D shape with the straw in the middle of it.
-
Take your length of string and tie a bell/bead to one end. Add more beads at this stage if you would like beads to be below your shape.
-
Thread the string through the straw attached to the shape, now decorate the string above your shape as you wish.
-
Finally tie a loop in the top of your string so you are able to hang your mobile up!
-
Why not try to make some mobiles of the other shapes too? The more the merrier!
