Baby Crib Mobile

Last week I had mentioned I had a few DIY projects coming down the pipe. I already posted about the lamps, Wren's bedroom pom poms, and now I will show you the baby mobile I put together. 

I painted these embroidery hoops with a craft paint from Michaels.You can buy the hoops from Michaels as well. Because each hoop you buy is actually two hoops in one, I twisted each one inside itself to have a sort of sphere effect. I used a hot glue gun to keep the hoops from coming apart. Then I chose the largest hoop to hang horizontally from the ceiling while the rest of the circles hung down from it at different lengths. I used fishing line to you can hardly how they are attached. 
It was tricky to hang evenly from the ceiling and keep it all from getting tangled, but other than that it was a super easy project. We never had a mobile for Wren in her crib, mostly because I never saw anything out there I liked and that I could afford. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out though!
