I'm a copy cat. My friend Margo made a beautiful butterfly mobile for her new cutie pie, and when i saw it i just had to steal it.
So I made this one for my sister's new cutie pie Claire.
If you want to be a copy cat too...here's how.
get 2 sizes of those metal wreaths from a craft store. they are actually green but you're gonna want to spray paint them white of course. i just used some fishing line to tie them together to make a bigger form.
next, you need butterflies.
lots and lots of them. i think i used around 200. i used vellum and was able to cut 5-6 at a time so it really wasn't that bad...and pretty much totally worth it.
punch holes and string fishing line through the butterflies. i did lines of 6,5,4,3,and 2 and used just a tiny bit of tape to secure them.
next, jerry rig somthing to hang it on so you can start putting it together.
add some ribbon around the edge...
and a bow...
then just hang it up for your baby to admire!
enjoy!

Totally cool!
I happened to have slept in the room with that mobile. I thought it was good looking. It makes a little rustling noise in the air flow of the fan. Maybe that'll be a soothing white noise for Claire! : P
shut up! I am totally stealing this idea for my craft blog! Of course I will link it back to you though!! xoxo
As someone who has seen the finished product in person, I can attest that it is quite adorable! Such a cute mobile! And made with love from an auntie. Well done Randi!
