I saw these clouds on the Thompson Family Home Tour and knew I had to do them for Josiah's side of the room! So I made my own fabric decals from this yummy spotted fabric - I can't remember who by? Sorry!
The adorable Whale Dreams print by Sarah Jane inspired the bubbly mobile! We just traced a variety of little circles from items around the house onto cardboard - egg cups (top and bottom) & drinking glasses. After sewing the circles into mini garlands I attached to a rattan ring covered in the same spotty fabric and used my lovely twine to secure to a common point.
I didn't find the 'right' shades of blue cardboard until I had already made my mobile - isn't that always the way! I still like it though and the little man doesn't care two hoots, he just loves his mobile, especially when it sways :-) I won't explain how to do the decals - you can find it all here. Basically just cornflour and water folks, it's that simple!
Be inspired by more creative spaces....

Both the clouds AND the mobile are gorgeous. They look like perfect shades of blue to me!
Gorgeous, Ros! x
Amazing & the fabric look like a Kei Honeycomb to me, beautiful. Yes, always find the perfect shade as i finish that kind of project, amazing how you can adapt & totally love what you've done anyway. Love a good shaded palate project too, love Posie
The clouds look wonderful! Storing that project away for after we move. Can't wait to start decorating!

Fantastic work!
They look great! Am tempted to try making a mobile myself... :)
oh so cute! I love clouds and raindrops, and have them in my room too (and I'm a grown-up!)
