Pumpkin Inspired Nursery Mobile

Pumpkin Inspired Nursery Mobile – beautiful, neutral colored baby mobile made from scrap pieces of fabric.

Hi everyone, it’s me Annika stopping by. I have a cute little craft project for you today, that is perfect for those cooler, rainy days coming up. I find that I decorate more around this time of year, than any other. There are so many colors and fun shapes to be found during fall, and I get excited like a kid every year.

One of my absolute favorite decorating objects, are pumpkins. They come in so many shapes, sizes and colors….I just love ’em 🙂 I’m particularly fond of the green and white pumpkins…they have such beautiful colors….and I felt like making something that was inspired by them. So I came up with this; a cute pumpkin mobile in green and white colors, made from scrap pieces of fabric I had laying around.

For this project you will need the following material and tools– FABRIC  (use different types to add character to your mobile. I used about 7-8)
– YARN  (use a couple of different ones to match your fabric)
– EMBROIDERY HOOPS (two different sizes, mine where 21 cm and 13 cm in diameter)
– BUTTONS  (about 1/2 inch wide)
– SEWING THREAD
– PILLOW FILLING
– NEEDLE
– SCISSOR
– PEN  (to draw on fabric)
Creating Pumpkins
With all your material gathered, follow the how-to below to create you little pumpkins.

Hanging the Mobile

To hang the mobile, attach 4 pieces of yarn to each of the hoops and make those meet in a loose knot. Before you create the final knot, make sure everything is pretty level. Then thighten the knot.To easily place the pumpkins, hang the hoops before adding the pumpkins. Hang each of the pumpkins with sewing thread and place them equally along the hoop edge. Adjust pumpkins by dragging the thread knot, along the hoop, to even out the wight of the mobile.

I hope you enjoyed this project. May you all have a wondeful fall.
