i made this mobile for my soon-to-arrive nephew/niece! we're hoping that bub will arrive tomorrow! :D
i only realised after i gave the almost-parents the mobile that i'd only taken a couple of iphone pics of the mobile...so that's all i have to share right now! the first pic has extra ribbon dangling, cos it's a WIP shot :)
the difficulty & time to make this will depend on your skillz with hand sewing felt, & you need to allow time for glue to dry (which can vary wildly depending on the type of glue!!).
it's basically a hoop (not even sure what it's made of, but it's a wooden circle...possibly for a bag or wreath?!), wrapped with ribbon, then long ribbons hanging down with the double-sided felt shapes sewed & glued on :) i drew (freehand...& i'm not very good at drawing!) the shapes on paper, then used that to cut the shapes out of the felt.

You Will Need (5 things)
- Hoop whatever kind suits you - available at craft stores - i used a 6.5in wooden hoop
- Ribbon i used about 3m of 8mm wide white ribbon here (will depend on the size of the hoop & how tight you wrap it)
- Needle & Thread
- Scissors
- Felt depends on the shapes you want to make - i had A4 sheets of felt, in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark blue, purple & white
