Fall crafts-mobiles

We like to make mobiles for our kitchen and in the end of September we decided to make a fall mobile.

D. said that he would like to have a "rain" mobile. That was the simple one. D. drew a shape of cloud on the gray card stock paper (folded in two so we have two sides to the cloud) then cut it out and glued sides together. Then I had him pick out tiny sequins of "rain" colors (blue and silver) for "raindrops". Then we put sequins on the embroidery thread and sewn the threads onto the cloud. Punched a hole on top of the cloud and put a piece of yarn through and voila.

Second mobile that we did was inspired by Paper Birds Craft from Family Fun magazine. We made birdies two-sided  and stuck feathers between sheets to represent tails, D. also put googly eyes on some birds. We hanged birds by embroidery thread (decorated with more sequins:) ) attached to the cross made out of craft sticks and hanged the mobile next to the "rainy cloud". We had one extra bird and it made a pretty fridge magnet.
