Make Your Own Mobile- Beach Style

So in one of my first posts about the nursery I mentioned I wanted to make my own mobile. I had seen a picture on etsy of a mobile I liked - but didn't love - that was made only of paper. Being the beach obsessed lover that I am, I wanted to put a beachy flare on the mobile....


So what should I hang that's beachy and small?

How about 250 tiny sand dollars? I mean, why not, right? They already have holes! I told myself I would save this super-duper-fun-take-up-a-lot-of-time project until the end of pregnancy when all I wanted to do was sit. Well, I guess I am there!
I used a simple embroidery hoop, which we spray painted white that I ordered online for $1.30. Wahoo. I bought fishing line from Michaels and ordered the sand dollars online. Then I got my stringing on. And on...and on.


250 sand dollars later...




Doesn't it kinda look like a giant jelly fish?

My favorite part about it is how giant it is. It totally fills the corner of the room, and I am sure will distract Little B for a few minutes...

Has anyone else tried making a mobile? It was kinda fun :)
