I absolutely love nature crafts. Being able to take something that has fallen on the ground and make something from it that brings a smile to your face, and that keeps the kids occupied during summer is one of the best things. These stick mobiles are so easy to make and you don’t need any fancy tools, but parents will need to help a little.
Supplies:
Sticks Wood box Wood glue Paint Bells (optional) Staples (optional for bells) Eye screw Hemp cord
Instructions:
I wanted to hang bells from our mobile, because I’m hoping that when it’s a little windy outside they might chime, but watching it turning in the light breeze while sitting on the front patio makes me smile too. You can either glue bells to one end of each stick, or alternatively, use a hammer and staples to attach them like I did.
Next, paint the end of each stick a fun color. You can paint patterns, or rainbows of color, whatever you like. Get creative!
Screw an eye screw into the base of the box and turn it upside down. You’ll tie hemp cord through the eye for hanging later.
Then glue the non-painted end of the sticks to the box, and tie hemp cord around to secure them in place.
And there you have it, a fun garden mobile made out of sticks. Watch it twirl and danc in the breeze.
Please pin this post for later.
