Everything That Dangles

Hi, Sophia Allison here and I will  be your Blog Host this week, all the way from South Africa.

My challenge for you is to create a MOBILE to decorate your Studio or even your child's room. It adds a wonderful touch and you can make it with whatever colour combos you like to match with your decor.

You can add chipboard shapes (Chips), like I have. Bling it with jewels and trinkets. Simply add your personal touch to it..."As they say, anything goes..."

In my project below, you will see that I have used a wooden hoop, which I painted cerise. Used clear fishing nylon to thread the paper butterflies onto, Chip shapes, beads and jewels. This sure will add a great feature to one of my little girls room.

Liz Qualman made this little beauty from the Lil' Miss Collection. She focused on the super cute stickers that come with the line and stuck them to brown cardstock to add some thickness to them. Then she cut them out, tied them to string and attached a Pebbles Chips flower for some weight. She used an embroidery circle for her mobile frame, tied string and ribbon to it and then wrapped the paper design around it.

Michele Beck made this beauty below using Pebbles paper, ribbons and chips.

Samantha Sibbert used only 3 large butterflies and added the Chips scrolls as the butterfly feelers, what a great idea.

Look at this Fall mobile by Amy Sorro made with the colours of the season as a home project. Just love how she used strips of patterned paper...great idea!

Then, just for something different...Mimi Leinbach altered a box and this was the end result. Using the paper as ribbons twirls, adds a wonderful touch to the little box.

Now, I hope that we have been able to inspire you to create your very own masterpiece. It sure is a great way to use up your scraps you have lying around...

Come back on Wednesday for some Inspiration ideas...!
