No nursery is complete without a fun mobile to hang from the ceiling. Dress up your little one’s room with this whimsical mobile design by Natalie of Johnny In A Dress that uses something many households probably have on hand: Christmas ornaments! She used clear glass bulbs stuffed with bright bits and bobbles, but ornaments of all kinds would work. She also used a pair of metal hoops that she painted green as a base; you could easily substitute thrifted embroidery hoops instead. [how to make a glass ornament mobile]
Project estimate:
- About a dozen glass bulb ornaments, on hand or $3 and up
- Two rings, on hand or about $5
- Paint, on hand or $1 and up
- Ribbon, on hand
Total: Free and up

I don’t know if I would put glass balls over a baby, or even plastic ones filled with chokables, but that sure is pretty! It would make great decor for a spring party or a girl’s birthday (or boy’s, if you aren’t afraid to challenge social standards)!
