DIY Bird Mobile for kids room

Try your hand at a little hand sewing project from Spool.
Hand sewing is very relaxing and this colourful bird mobile you could make is as much at home in a child’s room as an adults space.

This would be a welcome addition to a baby’s room or a great project for a baby shower.
A single bird would be a whimsical way to highlight favorite prints around your home. Just attach a bird to the corner of a picture frame or how about sitting on top of a curtain pole?

Since all this birdie takes is two pieces of fabric and a needle & thread, it makes a great travel project.

There are many possibilites, plus they’re just so darn cute!
Download the bird pattern here

The Mobile

Find 3 or 4 nice branches
Attach your birdies you’ve made with dark coloured thread.
Add a few carefully placed and balanced eye hooks.
Make sure you hang it out of a baby’s reach!

Once you’ve made a few, I reckon you’ll be hooked
– birds will start appearing all over the house!

The beauty of these little tweeters is that they make no mess!

Kids DIY crocheted headboard idea

Granny squares revisited

There’s something incredibly comforting and warm about this headboard.
It says home, love and cuddles.

Little Purl of the Orient crocheted 12 granny squares. Crocheted a border around them to make it the right size and had them sewn onto an existing headboard.

Voila!
