Easy Wind Mobile to Make From: ZiggityZoom.com

Easy Wind Mobile to Make

Find a twig that is about 10-12 inches long. Peel any loose bark from twig and rinse off any dirt.
Tie a piece of string ( 18-20 ' long) to both ends of the twig, to use as the hanging portion of your mobile. Tie a loop in the exact center section of the string.
Cut 4 streamers that are 18' long. We cut thin streamers from craft foam. Loop into center of washer and tie off.
Cut 4 pieces of string, 12-14' long, and tie one end of each to the twig, spacing equally apart.
Attach Washers to string, tying securely. Alternate washers, so that one is higher, the next a little lower, etc. But be sure that washers are close enough in length so that they will bump into each other in the wind.
Dab a little of the glue onto each knot that you have tied and let dry thoroughly. Trim ends of knots, leaving a tiny bit of a tail.
Hang your Wind Mobile in a place where you can watch it and hear it.
Need:

Twig, 10-12 inches
String
Glue
Fender Washers (4) 1 1/2' wide
Streamers (made from Ribbon or craft Foam sheets)"
