This Christmas mobile is a cheap and easy Christmas craft.
Materials
Wooden hanger child size
Nylon knitting ribbon (white and red)
Green wool (I used crimple wood for a bit of visual texture)
Star Template (click for PDF File)
Crayons (or pencils)
Glue
Glitter
Laminator (optional)
Instructions
1. Wind the red ribbon around the coat hanger until all covered. Tie a knot at the end to secure.
2. Wind the white ribbon around the coat hanger allowing the red to show through in a thick swirl. Tie a knot at the end to secure.
3. Cut four lengths of the wool and attach, evenly spaced, to the coat hanger.
4. On the wrong side of the star template, use crayons or pencils to cover the entire page. On the other side, use a little glue and cover with glitter.
5. Laminate stars (if desired) and cut out around the black guide line.
6. Punch a hole in the top of the stars and attach to the bottom of the green wool.
7. Hang.

I love this one – it’s the kind of thing I could manage (being such a non crafty mum)
This was cool for the little man too! We hung the stars on fishing line and hung them from all over the ceiling. Then put a moon in the middle. Very cool room now!
I actually applied a different design for this one. I had the same materials but I made a design especially for Valentine’s day. Thank you for sharing the ideas and procedure.
thats a good idea’s.. thank you..^^
