a mobile that isn’t a mobile

I saw this image the other day in a Potterybarn Kids catalog and was inspired to create my own little flower mobile for the baby’s room.  

So, off I went to Michael’s and bought many many white & cream flowers.

 

and a Styrofoam wreath form.

I wrapped grey grosgrain around it to fully cover,

securing the ends with these little silver pins. {I have no idea where we got these pins, but they proved very helpful for this project.}

I then stripped the flowers from their stems and attached them to the wreath. I first started by using fabric glue, but quickly realized that it was much easier to pin them in.

Look closely {beyond my beautifully painted fingernails} and you can see the little silver pin.

I just kept adding more and more flowers until I was happy with how it looked.

And here it is, hanging in my kitchen.

 

And oh what a view the baby will have while laying in her crib .

I’m looking forward to actually putting it in the room, but believe me, I’m quite a few steps back from accessorizing with a non-mobile mobile.
