These are the droids you’re looking for. I produced this hanging R2D2 mobile after seeing this beautiful Vespa mobile on hello Jen Renee (please click through, pin it, like it!). For our infant brother, we wished to make a star Wars version, however this exact same concept might work for any type of number of fun themes.
I sketched a rough R2D2 as a design template (note that my other half as well as child disagreed about the significance of the third/middle leg as well as I opted against utilizing it since I didn’t want to produce a huge penis) however you might always trace a cookie cutter or utilize a printable. though my droids are messy, I believe they still pass for robots.
SuperEasy Steps:
Assemble materials as well as template.
Cut out matching foam shapes about 4″ big.
Clip them to your mobile.
Hang high out of baby’s reach.
Pro tip: purchase the hanging mobile with clips (not cable slider thingies) to save yourself minutes of aggravation (in my case, four minutes of hole-punching as well as tying loops).
Materials I like:
50 pack of foam sheets to cut your own shapes.
35 foam stars, hearts, circles, or assorted (no cutting needed!)
Recommended: Wee Gallery Mobile (10 clips, ~$9)
Another great one: Spider Hanging Mobile (16 alligator clips, ~$14)
The one I used: Radon Mobile (12 tight spiral slidey openings, ~$14)
More fun ideas:
After my ten-minute diy foam mobile was done, I had numerous much more ideas. because I still have this mobile frame, I can modification the style a gajillion times.
Pac Man. A emotional preferred of mine. One yellow circle cut into Mr. Pac guy as well as the other colors as ghosts (easier than R2!)
Angry Birds. A preferred of my children. adorable main colors might work well for this. produce a few birds as well as pigs. Done.
Yoda. eco-friendly yoda heads. Done!
Once assembled, I hung the mobile on our dining space light fixture for a few days before moving it high out of reach. It goes well with the robot theme in the bedroom.
I’d like to hear any type of other concepts for a easy foam mobile in the comments. Or much better yet, pictures.
