Pinwheel mobile

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Whimsical, Cute


Materials

double-sided paper, dowels, and fishing line

What was your inspiration?

My daughter had a baby boy and chose vintage toys as a theme for the nursery. I made pinwheels for all of her nephews to carry going down the aisle at the wedding soooo... this seemed like the perfect idea for a
mobile for the new baby's crib!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be sure to use square dowels. They stack easier. I attached all the pinwheels with fishing line tied to tiny eye-hooks.

Thanks! I installed that mobile in Cold weather hoping that when the windows were open in the summer the pinwheels would spin independenly in the breeze. Suprise! They actually spin around and the baby is mesmerized!
