DIY baby mobile using paint swatches

Looking for that perfect accessory for your nursery or a kids room – why not make a baby mobile using paint swatches. Planning a baby room can be very intimidating and dauting, so why not start by making a fun accessory and it might be the start of the whole room look and transformation to follow.

This hanger is also a beautiful piece of art that can be used in any part of the house from the lounge to halloway to a bathroom. You can literally customise the colours to your preferences and taste.

How to assemble the baby mobile

  1. Cut an array of circles in a variety of sizes. The more the merrier (you will need double than what you would like to see as they are back to back)
  2. Make you own baby mobile

  3. Once you have cut the circles, cut a long piece of fishing line – I used five individual lines.
  4. Line the fishing gut on a table and strategically arrange the cut circles on the fishing gut. I put a 2cm gap between each of the circles.
  5. Once you have lined all of the circle cutouts up, carefully glue the circles together with the fishing gut in the middle.
  6. Tie the lines of circles onto the bottom of the hanger securely.
  7. Hang and enjoy.

This DIY almost reminds me of the geometric glitter bunting tutorial that I posted before that can be viewed in this link.
