A Mobile for my Niece

I have been looking at some wonderful  mobiles on the internet lately and decided I would make my own for little miss Emma.....who should be here within the month. Her room is going to be pink, purple, and PRINCESS! I got my inspiration from the mobile below ↓↓


Found Here

 Isn't that just precious?? I love it! I wanted to do something like it but decided to go with wire hangers. My idea for it changed a few times.....I wanted to use one hanger and then create small triangles out of another and hang those from the first hanger, yarn wrap them, and then make a chain of felt leaves.....then I just decided to go with this.....

I am in the process of creating a tutorial for this if you would like to do it as well.....just watch my blog for that post soon!

Simplest.Tutorial.Ever.

I know that this seems very silly but I am posting a tutorial on making little 'spools' for embroidery thread. That stuff really angers me because they give it to you in this nice neat little 'twist' - as I like to call it - and then once you get it unfolded, it turns into one big knot! When I was younger I used to make bracelets out of the stuff and just rolled them into balls, but this seems much simpler....and space efficient. This also gave me a good reason to edit a picture on Picnik through Flickr. Here goes...

What you need:

Scissors

Small Piece of Cardboard

Embroidery Thread

Sorry it's so blurry! I didn't actually expect to use this but I think I did a fairly good job :) I guess it's really more than one step but it's all so easy it doesn't seem like 3 steps!

Finished Product!

SO easy! I'm sure everyone who uses embroidery thread knows this, but it was fun and gave me some experience with editing. Maybe not the best editing around but I'm learning!
