I already new how to make pinwheels (Thanks to art class in elementary school, and helping out with Vacation Bible School when I was a teen.), and I saw the mobiles on Etsy and figured I could totally make it.

I used the inside of an embroidery hoop (12") and bought some cardstock paper. I already had the ribbon and the thick white thread and the buttons for the center of the pinwheel. So the materials cost me *maybe* $3.

I think there's probably some tutorials if you google it.

What it looks like from below.

The fan was on, so they were spinning.

Love it!  It looks great.  I wish I could have a mobile in the nursery, but we have a ceiling fan that is going to be on a lot and I think it would just be blowing all over the place.  This looks really good, though -- I'm a big dork for arts & crafts.

We have a ceiling fan too, and the mobile doesnt blow all over the place. We keep it on low, and the pinwheels just spins. Which looks cute.

Looks awesome!!  I made a mobile for the nursery too and loved that I could make a custom mobile for so cheap!
