Do you want to top off your infant's crib with a super cute baby mobile that is custom made? If so, then find out exactly how to make your own easily with just a few supplies and a little bit of time.
First, think about the design in your nursery. Whether it's a Star Trek theme, Curious George, Butterflies or Aliens there are plenty of ways to create a suitable mobile that will stimulate baby and look good too!
Starting Tips
You will need to prepare before you begin. What type of toy do you want hanging from the mobile? Whether it is a certain shape or special design look for pictures online or surf some nursery websites for help.
To make it easy you can look for clipart photos or even magazine cutouts to use as templates. For the mobile toys to look best you need to make sure they are not too large but also shouldn't be so small that the baby will miss them.
It's important to make sure they are not overly large or small because you really want them to stand out a bit and for your baby to notice them above her!
After you have sized them properly (you can use a simple word document to do this) print them out and then cut the image out. This will be the pattern you will work from. After you have the pattern, do a search for some fabric at your local craft store.
To make the first toy for the mobile you need to lay out your fabric on a clean work surface. You should fold the fabric inside out. The pretty parts should be facing inward. Pin your template that you made earlier from your images to the fabric and begin to cut. You will need to leave about a quarter of an inch so you can sew the two pieces.
After it is pinned then start to cut your patterns out. Begin making the toy by sewing the two pieces of fabric together (right side should still be facing in), but you need to leave a one inch opening for stuffing with cotton.
When you have finished sewing the two parts use the small opening you left and turn the fabric right side out. Add a filler like cotton or wool to the toy and then add a small ribbon to the opening and sew in place. Close the hole up at the same time.
Repeat the process until you are finished with all the toys for your mobile. You will need at least four or 5 to keep the baby entertained. Use the ribbon on each one to attach to the crib mobile arm.
One important thing to know is that a baby's vision is the least developed of all her senses at birth, so you might want to start her off with high contrast colors such as black and white. It might be easiest to make two sets of crib mobile toys so you can change them out later when she has developed a little more.
