A nursery in the bedroom did not work for us long term. Baby was out in a month. I wanted to make a fun mobile for my baby's nursery. However mobiles are really sculptures. I went to a party store and bought Chinese lanterns. They were plane white with a dirty, tacky white ribbon holding them in a single horizontal row. This bored me.
- I painted black stripes on the sides
- Painted the bases and tops of the lanterns a yellow/gold
- I removed the white ribbon from the lanterns and thus separated each one
- The structure held using bonsai wire.
- The top piece of the structure are paper plates with the center cut out
- The center of the plate is suspended just above the outer rim of the plate
- There are four plates glued and stapled together for added strength
- I hung the mobile or sculpture from a curtain rod
- The pictures explain better than words
