A Hands-on Baby Mobile With Folded Moravian Stars

When Isabel and Thomas sent over some photos of their Hands-on mobile project (which was reminiscent of the one that we featured in this nursery makeover of yore) we had to share the eye candy. Here is their letter:

You’ve inspired yet another project, and since you’ve lately completed your nursery I thought this was timely. I learned how to make folded Moravian Stars from a walkthrough online (in three distinct sizes, all in a variety of patterns I printed myself). I used this site and this site for reference, although the former is better. My husband invented the actual “hangers” for the mobile. He’s remarkable! So with nothing more than paper, scissors, Mod Podge, a sponge brush, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, floral wire, a needle, and fishing wire… we ended up with this mobile! And the grand total was less than $10. Plus my husband and I had a strong time making it for our son. Enjoy! -Isabel and Thomas

Is not that a lively way to add some personalized interest to any nursery? We enjoy that by making their own mobile, Isabel and Thomas were able to dictate everything from the color scheme to the size and the shape of their creation- and the fact that it was less than ten dollars to whip up is truly remarkable. Thanks so much for the photos folks! And for including the links that you used so others can follow along at home. What do you folks think? Is anyone out there planning to make one of their own? If so, what color scheme will you be going with? Gray and yellow? Navy and turquoise? Orange and eggplant? Pink and lime?
