Crib Mobile: My Way!

So I saw this mobile on Etsy...


I really liked it... I liked the look, but I wasn't sure the felt was the right look for the nursery.  And I wasn't sure the $74 pricetag was right for the budget :)  We needed something slightly less pricey, of the do it yourself variety!

So I started researching some fabric birds that I could make.  I found these...


Loves it!

Next step: fabric.  I needed a bunch of coordinating fabrics, so I figured a charm pack would solve that problem.  This is the one I chose:



And then I got to work.  Sewed a few birds.  Got a branch from Uncle Hank.  Put it all together, and voila...


Yay!  I love it.  It is hanging above the glider (we have pictures hanging above the crib).  And it was waaaay less than the 'spensive one on Etsy!!!

So there's a sneak peak of the nursery-- you can see the mobile & the curtains.  One of these days, I'll get it all finished and show you the whole thing!
