Baby Shower Gift Wrap Paper and Ribbon ButterflyMobile

This is such a sweet way to re purpose the gift paper and ribbon as a sweet memento from your baby shower. I made this for my granddaughter.
All you need for this project is 2 Embroidery hoops of different sizes... Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, plastic string, ribbon and paper from baby shower.
I first took the blue and pink ribbon from baby shower and cut them into 6" strips.
I tied them around the 2 embroidery hoops. I then took 3 long ribbons to make as hanger and tied them on the bigger hoop. Then I took 3 smaller ribbons and tied from top larger hoop to smaller hoop. I let the smaller hoop hang about 4-5" below top hoop.
I cut out lots and lots of butterflies...Love this punch! After all butterflies were cut out, I hot glued a butterfly on each side of string and held a second then continued this all the way down. When finished you will have several strands of butterflies. And just because I wanted some sparkle....I took some round small mirrors from the Michaels and put them on some of the end of strands. I also found small plastic butterflies I put in the strands....these added sparkle
I tied each strand onto the hoops in between the ribbons. You can make this as long as you wish. I had to cut off some of the length because I made it too long for hanging over crib. I can't wait to bring it over to them!
