Piccies of my mobile-what do you think??

[Freja:)]

I have nearly finished my mobile-I have used an old CD for the top of it, just need to add some more chains to be able to dangle it from the ceiling-I just blue tacked it to a shelf to see how it looks so far. Please let me know what you think!!!!

[gigglinggoblin]

That ace! Is it for you or a child? I bet the light flashing off it would keep a baby amused for ages

[Freja:)]

I actually just made it to see how it would look, I'm gonna make more though and see if I can sell any at the next stall I do. I'll keep this one though coz its my first :D

cool. how do you stop the edges being sharp? I wanted to use cans in jewelry but didn't know how to edge them.

Well, I thought I would have to put something around the edges but by cutting the cans into disc shapes, the edges weren't sharpe at all. I will have to think of something if I want to cut out other shapes (especially for sharp corners!!)

I really like it, Its so much fun. Maybe you could make wind chimes too. I have them in my garden in the summer tinkling away. The sunlight would make it really sine. lovely xxx ;)

[Autumn Faerie]

That's great, really funky, I bet the light shining off it is great. i'm sure that'll sell well, especially to the Eco friendly lot, it's very "green" after all :)

thats really KOOL!!! we use to use pop cans to make all sorts of things back in the 60's and 70's...........made a purse one time by cutting the cans in squres and then folding them to smooth edges and clipping them together with bent paperclips...........wish I still had a pic of it to show you..........me with my hippy long skirt on proudly showing my new bag lolol

[Moonbeam Angel]

Wow I like that, it came out really well. I bet it will look lovely in the sunlight!

[angelbear]

Its really lovely. It will look gorgeous when the sun catches it.
Ok stupidity confession. I looked at the title then at the pictures and thought..."but where is the phone" Then I suddenly realise it was a mobile as in hangs from the roof and looks pretty not a mobile phone!

very very nice we use a sizzix over here to cut different shapes and it makes the edges very dull so you don't get cut

That's really funky... I love the idea... are you going to sell these?

I bet they'll look great when the sun catches them... very pretty and colourful :D

[lil_miss_tree]

That is really nice, tempted to make one as I have loads of empty pepsi max cans and it seems a shame to just throw them in the bin. Bit worried i'd cut a finger off though lol.

[kinglake]

absolutely fab!! you could use alcohol inks on the cd and cans:) xx jo xx

[surfjewels]

That looks lovely! I made a very simple mobile of CDs for the nursery when my boys were babies, plus I had a couple of those miniature glitter balls hung in the window. The reflections used to really hold their attention, from a very early age. And I used to love sitting in there on sunny days watching the light show - very relaxing and therapeutic! :mf:

Hmm, maybe I need something for my own room now ;)

[CraftyJen]

That looks great;)
