So, Gavin and I went to Hobby Lobby to get the flowers and some more Tacky Glue and spent $12. I already had wire at home, plus Jarrod had the hooks and fishing line. I started out just making a random shape with the wire, then followed their explanation of splitting the plastic part of the flower with an exacto knife and gluing them onto the wire. I found that if I worked too much on it, the flowers would start falling off, so I'd glue some on for about 5 minutes or so then come back to it to add more. It made the project last longer, but it was getting frustrating when the flowers would fall off so I liked doing it this way. I just hung the mobile from the back of a chair in our dining room and would work on them periodically. Last night we hung them and here are the finished products!
I don't think the pictures do them justice, but they really turned out cute. Once we decide on her name, I'll probably add a decorate letter to the right.
