Custom Baby Mobile
Easy
A great idea for decorating a nursery it to make your own baby mobile. They are often less expensive, match the decor better, and are fun to customize. I made this baby mobile for my son's changing table a few years ago.
This would be a great gift at a baby shower as well! My friend Katie from Clark's Condensed is having her baby soon. She is an AMAZING person and blogger and has been a great friend of mine for a few years. A bunch of her friends and I wanted to get together and throw her an 'online baby shower'. Please see the links below for more fun baby ideas that we are sharing to celebrate Katie's baby.
I made this custom baby mobile doing the following...
I used a mobile frame that I found at a thrift store for a dollar (or you can buy one here for about $10.00), and wired it on all four ends, center, and top with craft wire.

This baby mobile has withstood the test of time. My son who is as active as they come has grabbed, pulled, hit, and yanked this many times and it has held up really well.
I strung enough wire from the middle so that I could hang it on the ceiling at the desired height above the changing table.
Then I wrapped the mobile with ribbon and hot glued the ends in place.
I wanted the mobile to match the decor and other aspects of the room (esp. the baby/toddler blanket and crib skirt that my mom and I made.
So, I cut and glued extra fabric I had from the blanket to the small Chinese lanterns.
