100% Wooden Mobile Frame / Stand Tutorial

Direct from Europe comes this 100% wooden mobile stand/frame - the PERFECT companion product to our wooden mobile hangers!

This wooden mobile stand/frame is made entirely from pure, untreated hard wood - the same wood that is used for making our wooden teether rings and mobile hangers. It has been cleverly designed to allow the frame to be attached to the side of virtually any bed, crib, cot etc., without losing its safety features.

These wooden mobile stands / frames are available from our online store.

The mobile stand will arrive to you un-assembled and each kit includes the following pieces:

All of the pieces are made to fit easily and it will take a few minutes to put them together.

Take pieces A (the one with the pre-drilled hole at the end) and piece C. Twist one of the screw sides of piece C into the ball part of piece A.

 This is what it should look like when you finish.

Take the other side of part C and twist it into the ball part of part B. You should now have an 'L' shape.

Twist part D (long screw) all the way through part B, until it hits the end. Twist part F over the screw until it reaches the side of B (the flat side of part F should face away from part B). Place the flat side of part F against your cot slats and twist part E from the other side of the slats over the screw,  ensuring that the two parts (E and F) press firmly against both sides of the cot slats.

Cot slats will be between these two parts - parts E and F.

You can hang your mobile hanger (sold separately) from the mobile frame.

For safety's sake keep all decorations away from reach of young children and do not hang any mobiles directly above a child. Please do not attach the mobile frame in a location where it could be moved out of place by children. Please ensure all screws are firmly twisted into place and check attachment of mobile frame to cot on a regular basis. Should you notice any damage to the product, please discontinue its use.

DIY Wooden Mobile Hangers - Assembly Tutorial

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.
