Last week I made a fun mobile to add to Sydney’s new reading corner!

I’m so excited to share it with you. It’s a very easy and inexpensive DIY. The first thing I did was pick up some toy animals at the dollar store.

I drilled a small hole in each animal, all the way through, (closer to the head to help balance out weight).

Then I painted them different neon colors. I used acrylic paints, spray paint, and nail polish.

I then added a glossy clear coat for extra protection.

Next, using a needle and thread, I strung each animal onto a string, and secured them tightly with hot glue.

I created the base of the mobile by simply using two wooden dowels, glue, and lots of string. Then I tied all of my threaded animals onto the mobile.

And that’s it! Sydney loves the fun, bright colors. The mobile is the perfect addition to her brand new reading nook!
