This adorable DIY 3D Cloud Mobile makes for an adorable decor piece at a baby shower! What's better is that it can double as nursery decor after the shower is over! It's incredibly easy to make using our cloud template, and it looks positively precious hanging in the party space! The mobiles were inspired by these Sunshine Baby Shower Party Supplies, and we just love how the yarn pom-poms mimic the raindrops on the plates and napkins! Be sure to check out this Sunshine Themed Baby Shower to see how to incorporate these mobiles into your shower decor!
Download our free Cloud Template here then use scissors to cut out five cloud shapes for each mobile you'd like to make. Try to stay as close to the guideline as you can when cutting to ensure that the shapes will align properly during assembly.
Use the light grey guideline on the cloud shapes to evenly fold the cloud shapes in half.
Apply Glue Dots to the back fold of one cloud shape. Next, use tape to secure a strand of Pink Baker's Twine to the back fold. Secure a second cloud shape evenly to that cloud. Repeat until all but one cloud remains.
Tape a long piece of Baker's Twine down the center fold, long enough to use for hanging at the top and long enough to dangle from the bottom of the clouds. Use Glue Dots to secure the last cloud shape into place. Trim the twine strands to varying lengths. NOTE: Our party was against a white backdrop so the cloud shapes were hard to see. At this point I sprayed them with light strokes of turquoise spray paint to make them more visible. This is totally optional!
Use hot glue to apply white, grey and pink yarn pom-poms to the ends of each twine strand. To do this, separate the yarn a bit with your fingers and apply a dab of glue. Use a toothpick to push the twine down into the glue to avoid burning your fingers. Once the twine is holding, fluff the yarn back up with your fingers.
Hang in your party space and enjoy! Be sure to see the complete Sunshine Themed Baby Shower along with the tutorial for a DIY Baby Shower Garland and the free downloadable Sunshine Baby Shower Printable Pack!
