DIY Beaded Baby Mobile

Love making this gift for new moms! One, it’s really easy, and two, it’s really simple, but ends up looking super good!

Let’s get started! Here’s what you’ll need!

First take your string and cut 2 pieces that are 5ft long each. Then group them all together so that they are aligned and fold them in half. Take the middle where it’s folded in half and loop it around the wood ring and tie it in a knot.

Divide the 4 strings so that they are separate, then add Ten 8mm Beads and then One 10mm bead. Repeat this two more times. Do this for each string.

Once you’re done with each string, then tie each beaded string to the Metal hoop.

Then add Ten 8mm Beads and then One 10mm bead. Repeat this two more times. Do this for each string, and tie a knot at each end.

Cut a 4ft string and tie one end to the metal hoop. After that, then add Ten 8mm beads and One 10mm bead. Repeat three times.

Once you have all the beads on, tie it to the other strand of beads to connect them, and continue this till it is wrapped all the way around the hoop.

Once all your beads are on, then you can make the tassels! Take your macrame rope and wrap it around your fingers till it’s the thickness you want. I wrapped it 12 times around. Then cut one side of it.

Take one of the strings and tie them all together. Then fold it in half so that you don’t see where it is tied. Take another string and tie it around the top, from there you can just hide the knot under the rest of the strings.

Then take the beaded string that’s hanging down with excess string and tie the tassels onto them.

There ya have it!!!
