How to Make

  1. Create the hanging strands of the mobile. Cut 3 different lengths of thread. To each attach a feather to the bottom, tie a small knot around the bottom and wrap around until secure, finishing with another small knot.
  2. Thread on small bells where desired, fixing with a knot. Attach the self adhesive stars back to back with the thread in the middle.
  3. Make as many as you'd like alternating colours and positions.
  4. Fold a piece of felt in half and cut out two cloud shapes that will be stitched together.
  5. Tie a bell to the top end of each strand. This will act as a stopper, when you stitch them into the clouds.
  6. Stitch the clouds together with a simple running stitch, popping in the strands as you go. Make sure the bell is on the inside of the clouds and that your stitches are about ½ cm long.
  7. Fill with a small amount of stuffing before you stitch the whole way around.
