I'm a recent follower and avid reader of Holly Neufeld's craft-tacular family blog, {creat*loves}, and when I saw this DIY Baby Mobile tutorial go up I immediately contacted her about letting us borrow it to share it with you awesome folks!
This tutorial is actually ultra simple and uses just a few inexpensive crafting supplies that you may already have laying around: felt, buttons, embroidery hoops, yarn, needle and thread. And don't stop at flowers… think of spaceship shapes, circles and triangles, bugs and birds, monsters, jungle animals. There are just SO MANY possibilities!
And really, this mobile could be used for anyone anywhere. Felt fruit shaped mobile in the kitchen? Yes please! A more grown-up felt planet mobile for your big boy's room? Uhhh.. YEAH. And this craft does double duty as a project your little guys and gals could actually help with.
Thanks to Holly, for sharing this rad and super funkin' easy DIY mobile. Please, Offbeat Mama readers, if you make this sweet little baby mobile SHARE YOUR PICTURES! We can't wait to feast our eyes on more variations and colors of this baby beauty.

Yes!! I recently took my dissatisfaction with mass produced mobiles to the interwebs in search of an easy DIY. I didn't come up with much and was pretty disappointed at the cost of having a custom one made. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the timely solution to my woes! Hopefully I can squeeze one in before baby comes -on Friday!- and send in pics! RAWK!

This is adorable! If I planned on using a mobile I would totally try DIY'ing this with fishes and ocean creatures! Thanks for sharing.

Cute! I have been collecting mobiles from thrift stores so I can steal the musical part and make my own mobiles to attach to it. This is bookmarked for me to come back to after a trip to the craft store. Yay for "me time".

That's what I've been doing too — I've got a thrifted mobile that I'm taking apart and recreating with Dear Girlface deers: http://offbeatmama.com/pr/oio/modules/tracker/go….
