I desperately want to make this. How did you connect the fishing line to the birds you had sewn? And did you just cover the hoop with a layer of yarn? »
Before I got to know Woods, I assumed this mobile was some $300 number from Anthropologie. I was about $296 off. "I have wanted a mobile since I had my first child five years ago, but I hated all the ones I saw in the stores," Woods says. "I kind of combined a bunch of ideas together. The birds' tattered look was born out of laziness because I didn't want to have to turn them right side out after sewing. The whole thing cost me about four bucks!" Woods hung all of the magical creatures and objects from a simple sewing hoop.
Put a bird over the crib. Hearing about how clever homeowner and blogger Jillian Woods crafted this wonderful mobile for about four bucks inspired many of us. See more of Jillian's home and projects
Artisans today are creating beautiful, handmade mobiles that go beyond the typical colorful animal theme. This mobile uses animal shapes in natural tones. Branches and woven orbs enhance the texture and visual interest.
Thanks!
