Felt Ball Mobile


I had visions of this mobile dancing above Ollie's crib when he wasn't yet born, and well into his second year, I finally got it made. 


Making it was fairly simple. I just gathered some fallen branches from our backyard, soaked them in bleach, and let them dry.


Then, I cut them to the sizes I wanted, and laid them out in a general mobile shape.
 

I used embroidery floss to sting the felted wool balls, and tied them to the branches, using triple knots and securing them with glue so it's nice and strong.


And then I hung it with a piece of leather cord, and let my little guy enjoy it. Finally.

  4. This is fantastic and I love all the colours. I wanted to make felt ball garland for our xmas tree this year but didn't get a chance. Seeing these strung up in a mobile is so fun, makes me smile too.

  6. How did you hang it from the ceiling? About how long is the leather cord from ceiling to mobile?

  7. How long did you soak the wood and what dilution did you use? It's exactly what I am wanting to do in my nursery.

  19. When I was applying for a loan to purchase my building as a small business owner in a tough situation, conventional banks said they could not help me. Mr Pedro, a loan officer, sat down with me, heard my situation and decided that I was worth taking a chance on. Here we are 3 years later and I have just renewed my loan for another 7 years. I couldn’t have purchased my building without the help of Mr Pedro and will be forever indebted to them for giving me a chance when no one else would."
    I will recommend you to contact a loan officer Mr Pedro on the information below if you need any financial assistance.
