    This is a child’s project and is suitable for a 2 year old not an adult. Please consider your comments before posting.

  5. aren’t mobiles suppost to be round? if i wanted this idea i would have let my 2 year old make something up. isn’t there any good mobiles on this web site! my daughter wants a butterfly mobile for her little sister (she’s due in about 3 weeks).

  6. The butterflies are cute, but the hanger could use some help. Maybe use 2 hangers, twist together with pliers and tie ribbon on top.??? This way mobile would be 3-D as well.

What do you think of this project? Let us know!
