I thought I'd put up a little tutorial on how to put together the DIY wooden mobile hangers that we sell at our craft store.
Here's an example of one being used to make a jungle animals themed mobile.
Our DIY wooden mobile hanger kits are made from pure, untreated hard wood of an Ash tree that has been grown in an ecological region in Europe, away from heavy industries. No additives, chemicals, dyes or other nasties are added during the making of this product. These hangers are made to European safety standards. The completed hanger measures approx 33.5cm x 33.5cm.
Your mobile hanger kit contains the following parts:
- 4 wooden dowels (0.9cm x 16cm, with a small hole drilled through at the end of each dowel for attaching an ornament).
- 1 wooden cube (3cm x 3cm, which has rounded edges)
- 2 eye shaped screws
You will need some wood adhesive to glue to pieces together. We recommend using a non-toxic adhesive, like the one below.
Assembling your mobile kit is very easy and takes just a few minutes.
Place a small amount of glue in the cube hole..
and push in one of the dowels.
Make sure you line up the hole in the dowel with the hole in the cube, so that your ornaments will hang correctly.
Repeat the process with the remaining three dowels.
Screw the eye shaped screws in pre-drilled holes - one on top and one on the bottom on the cube.
Voila! Your wooden mobile hanger is ready!
We recommend letting the glue dry before adding ornaments.
