\"\"<\/a>While browsing ohdeedoh.com<\/a>, a section of apartment therapy, a few weeks ago I saw this mobile and I am now determined to make one of my own for the nursery. \u00a0The original pattern and brilliant idea is from Spool<\/a>. \u00a0Find the pdf file here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The problem is that I am not exactly what you would call “crafty”. \u00a0I cannot sew a button on. \u00a0How in the world am I going to sew together a dozen cute little birdies for a mobile?<\/p>\n

I went and bought what I needed at the craft store. \u00a0I had to buy a pack of needles since I don’t do any sewing whatsoever. \u00a0I also needed thread, fabric scissors, and stuffing for the birds. \u00a0I bought some cool fabric at IKEA about a year ago with the intention of making something with them…which I never did. \u00a0That shows just how much follow through I usually have on projects : )<\/p>\n

My first attempt was a disaster. \u00a0I drew eyes and wings on it with a sharpie and then let my dog use it as a chew toy.<\/p>\n

Today I made two more birds with better results. \u00a0Not great, but better. \u00a0I’m going to get more fabric in different patterns and colors to match the bedding once I have this bird making thing down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There may be some hope for me in finishing this project. \u00a0I think it could look great in the nursery, so I’m looking forward to finishing it…hopefully before baby comes!<\/p>\n

My pair of love birds are shown here, snuggling up on the couch. \u00a0I like the black and white with the yellow. \u00a0This yellow may be a bit bright for the room, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

Here are the cut patterns, which are simple and easy. \u00a0The patterns are sewn together inside out leaving the tail open. \u00a0The birds are then turned outside in, and stuffed and sewn shut.<\/p>\n
