Rainbow Angels Mobile
I bought a kit to make 6 angels in rainbow colors (here) a long time ago and immediately made all 6 in about 40 minutes, they are really easy to do and I think the colors are just beautiful. I wanted to make a mobile out of them to hang in the playroom but it took me a long time to finally do it. Thankfully the little wreath that I bought to make a nest out of for our nature table was not used (I found an actual nest in my stash). It was the perfect size for my angels (about 5 inches) and I like the natural material. I thought about using an inner ring from embroidery hoop but this is so much better. Usually our best ideas are accidents! I put it on the ceiling of our playroom and the mood is instantly so much happier and brighter, I just love it! Kitten really likes it too, she is trying to say "angel", points out different colors and laughs when I blow and they twirl.
Oh my gosh, this is so wonderful! Do you think you could put up the picture of the room too? I am wondering how low they hang. The colors really are beautiful. It seems that you have a theme of rainbow going on for Kitten ;)) (and I love it how you just happen to have a nest in your stash :D)
ReplyDeleteThey are at about my face level, so that Kitten cannot reach them herself. I will post the room picture once I am finished with one other project ;) Yes, I recently fell in love with the rainbow color combination, cannot beat that one! And the nest, well, that was going to be a baby doll cradle but did not work out :D I guess there is a reason to stock up just in case!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!! i'm going to have to dig out my wool roving and see what colors i have. i have a snowflake mobile hanging now...but we are ready for something more spring themed. We've been doing lots of rainbow crafts lately, so these would fit perfectly! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteoh just magical x
ReplyDeleteYou finally did it, hurray!!! Looks amazing! I like the nest much better than the embroidery ring too. It looks like they are dancing in the forest :) Keep up the fairyland theme, I want to feel like I am in a magical castle next time I come to visit! ;)) That's one of the reasons why I love your blog - you give me that feeling of magic and wonder from childhood with your photos :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oxana, come for a visit and we will go build fairy houses in our backyard forest ;)
