VIDEO: Crafting with felt
Tinker children's mobile from felt motifs
Children's mobiles are hung over the cradle or cot to calm children down and encourage them to fall asleep. You then have something colorful to look at, which is moving, possibly also ringing the doorbell. Therefore, you should always have children's mobiles in bright colors Colours design.
- First cut out the motifs for the children's mobile felt the end. You can find templates in craft magazines and children's books. With a little skill you can make the templates yourself. For example, you can cut out clouds from blue felt, a sun from yellow felt, the moon as a sickle and several Stars. Other simple designs that you can make are small sheep, colorful flowers, frogs, ladybugs or colorful fantasy fish.
- Now pull the fishing line through each motif with the help of a darning needle and cut it in double length of about 10 cm.
- Now take the round wooden ring about 15-20 cm in diameter. Attach 5 chopsticks (for example chopsticks) to this ring as dividers that you can paint blue or yellow. You knot the fishing line in the middle of the chopsticks and then at a distance of about 10 cm on the ring. Now attach your 10 felt motifs to both ends of the chopsticks with the fishing cord that you pulled through beforehand.
- As a highlight, you can tie small bells or chime sticks from a craft shop to the wooden ring between the chopsticks. With every little breath of air or a bump, your child can also hear a fine ringing.
- Now make an eyelet made of fishing cord on the ring and attach the mobile to the cot.
