Pinwheel Baby Mobile

September 5, 2010 by Amanda Formaro

Before I even mention this mobile, isn’t the paint on the wall cute? Love the colors and striping! Okay, back to the mobile. Kat over at measuring my Life in Love made this really adorable mobile from paper pinwheels. She explains how she used scrapbook paper and fishing line to create this fun paper mobile that looks adorable hanging in the nursery. Bet the baby loves it too!

Directions: 
1. Pick out your paper and cut it in a square, I used these sizes: 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″ and 12″. You will need two squares to complete the circle.
2. Start doing a fan fold, mine were between 1/2″ and 1″.  Bigger width for the larger squares.
3. Once you have a square completely fan folded, fold it in half and tape the sides together. After this step you should have a half a circle. I saw that some people used double stick tape, but personally I just used clear tape, and taped half and half on the folds I was connecting.
4. Tape both half circles together and ouila – you have your pinwheel.
Ways to hang: I’ve seen people push tacks/nails through the center and hang them on the wall that way. For my purpose I had the Hubs loop fishing line through them and we used white tacks and hammered them into the ceiling.
Total Cost = $0, as I had everything on hand.  I would say at most though using coupons you could do this project for under $15 if you had to buy everything.
