Always on the lookout for something for you to have a go at. I seem to be on a mission to find the creativity in everyone!
Today, I happened upon some mobiles while clicking around Pinterest and just had to search out some tutorials from great bloggers to get you inspired.
If you have access to die cuts or are nifty with a pair of scissors, all you need for some of these is some colourful card, templates and something to hang them from.
And if you have some felt lying around, I'm sure these wouldn't be difficult to recreate too.
I love this simple but effective mobile by Diane Bohn on her blog fromblankpages. You can see the full tutorial here
Or how about this adorable felt mobile by Jess? Again she has produced an easy to follow and highly illustrated tutorial which you can find here.
But if it all seems a little overwhelming, don't forget you can always buy one ready made. There are lots out there, but since I've shown you one by Lovely Friend at the beginning of this blog, why not check out her mobiles on Etsy.
And of course, do send us photos of your mobiles if you do have a go. Or any of your other DIY projects too. We'd love to see them.
