Nursery Reveal: DIY Mobile

There is only one little project left and the nursery will be done!

I've had so much fun putting it together and spending virtually nothing.

I might be biased, but isn't this a sweet space?

This week I finished a fun little mobile to hang over the crib.

Is it still called a mobile if it doesn't move?

It's not a mechanical one, but I guess it does sort of move in the breeze.

  

Anyhow...

Here's how I made it: 

*I found a small branch in the yard

*I spray-painted the branch silver.

(I would have preferred white but I was out and it's an hour to a store that sells spray paint.)

*I punched a million and 6 stars from random blue scrapbook paper

My 2-year-old helped.

*I tied string to the branch in varying lengths (while watching a movie with my man).

* I taped two stars together with the string squished between them

*Repeat the above step until you wish you never saw a little paper star again!

*Then I tied yarn onto the stick, tied the yarn around a thumb tack and poked the tack into the ceiling.

Little man loves it. I caught him staring. 

Right before his Momma came into view, that is!

What's that you're trying to say? 

Stop messing around in my room so I can go to sleep?

Thanks for the pretty mobile, wonderful Mommy?

Here's how it looks from Baby's perspective:

So there you have it!

A free mobile that doubles as art.

I've shown the gallery wall before, but under it and next to the crib is my favorite chair.

It's my nursing nook. ;)

A little table for my Bible and a glass of water for that 5 AM feeding,

a Boppy pillow with a PBKids cover (from my shower for my first baby),

and a set of nesting boxes with baby toys and burp cloths.

One more project, coming soon!

Then I'll take you on a little tour of this sweet little room with a couple good before and after shots. 

And then I'll consider the nursery complete. Ish...
