COLORFUL MOBILES

I made these beautiful  mobiles 2 months back when my vacations had just begun. It was the first time few of my friends were coming home, and as a token of remembrance i gifted 'em these ... there were a whole lot of other designs like flowers, leaves, fishes, snail etc .. here are a few in this pic.....


These are very simple and quick to make. You could also involve your children in this activity. It could be used as a book mark, or hang it by ur bedside, dressing table, on the window bar... ur study table any where you wish.

All you need to make these cute looking mobiles are ... 
  • a pair of scissors, 
  • OHP sheets, 
  • glass paints, 
  • paint brush, 
  • thin black marker and 
  • a string or a ribbon to tie.

                                           
This is how you do it:
  • Trace or draw a design on the OHP sheet. With the help of craft scissors cut out the outline.
  • Use glass paints of your choice to paint the pictures. You could take help from your little one with painting and tracing. Kids would surely love to do it.
  • Finally, i took a compass from the geometry box and pricked in a lil hole and inserted a flower making string in it. You could also punch in a hole and pass a colorful ribbon through.
  • To personalize it, in one corner of the picture you could write your name, a lil message or date.
 Colorful mobiles are ready to be hung :)
