How to make a cloud mobile
Step one – Print out the Cloud Mobile
Step 2 – Cut out the cloud and rain drop shapes and glue them to a piece of cardboard before cutting out again.
Step 3 – Place shapes onto felt and trace around them. Then cut out your cloud and rain drop shapes.
Step 4 – Begin sewing around the edges of the clouds and and rains drops, ensuring to leave enough room to add the stuffing.
Step 5 – Use the cotton balls to firmly stuff both the clouds and rain drops and continue to sew up the opening.
Step 6 – Begin to loosely tack your clouds in place onto the mobile bracket and secure into place once you are happy with the layout.
Step 7 – Add using double layers of thread add on the rain drops to the clouds and fix everything into place.
(Please note that the rain drops are very small in size and could be a potential choking hazard to young children. Please ensure they are fixed on to the clouds safely. If in doubt, don’t add them to the finished mobile).
