Do-it-yourself mobile for newborns. Do-it-yourself mobile for a crib: detailed MK for making, unusual ideas and tips Do-it-yourself music mobile

Every mom tries to prepare for the birth of her baby as best she can. Nowadays, there are many children's products on the market, but, unfortunately, they do not always meet all requirements for quality, design and price. Therefore, parents often purchase only the most necessary things, and bypass goods from the "additional" class. One of them is a mobile for a baby cot. In order not to invest in a thing that does not even meet your requirements, you can make it yourself.

What is a children's mobile

A mobile is a suspended composition of various elements (in the case of a children's mobile, these are usually small toys) that move in a circle due to the air flow or using a small mechanism with a built-in motor.

Translated from English mobile means mobile, moving, self-propelled.

The creation of a children's mobile is a creative process, the result of which will certainly delight

Children's mobile is both decoration and great entertainment for the baby. In the first months of a baby's life, there are not many things that can entertain him, and toys of different colors attached to a mobile can keep him busy for a few minutes, when the mother needs to leave, help him fall asleep. And also the mobile contributes to the faster development of the child.

Table: the advantages and disadvantages of a mobile in a baby's crib

Types of children's mobiles

Mobiles are divided into 2 main groups:

• musical - with a built-in mechanism (usually such mobiles, due to the same mechanism, also spin, like a carousel);
• non-musical - the mobile consists only of toys suspended from the holder, moves due to natural air currents.

• wood;
• plastic;
• textile materials (most often felt or plush are used);
• yarn (knitted items);
• rubber;
• rubber, etc.

Some mobiles have a built-in function of projecting light images onto the ceiling

Also, some mobiles have an additional built-in night light so that the baby is not afraid of the dark, and the baby can see the baby if it is necessary to fix his nipple or feed him at night.

What should be a children's mobile

In order for the mobile to really only benefit both mother and child, it must meet a number of requirements:

• completely made of safe materials, best of all natural: wood, rubber, wool, felt, etc .;
• have a secure structure of the suspension and fastening system;
• all suspension elements must be securely fixed;
• if there is a built-in music system, the melodies should not be too loud, calm and soothing;
• if a rotating mechanism is built into the mobile, then you need to make sure that the speed of movement in a circle is not too fast, otherwise it can frighten or overexcite the baby;
• if the mobile has a built-in night light, its mechanism must be safe;
• if the mobile is supposed to be hung over the bed in which the baby will sleep, it is better to refrain from excessively bright colors and prefer pastel shades so as not to overexcite the child's nervous system before bedtime.

The mobile must be made of safe materials and have a reliable structure.

A bit of history. The ancestors of modern mobiles were pendant toys-amulets, which were made from various herbs, straw or wood by our ancestors to protect their children from evil spirits.

Requirements for materials for the manufacture of mobiles

All materials for the manufacture of a child's mobile must meet the following criteria:

• high quality;
• security;
• the most natural composition;
• hypoallergenic.

It is worth buying materials only from trusted brands that have proven themselves well on the market. It is these brands that have an unblemished reputation that can offer parents of newborns the highest quality product, and as a bonus, they always write the truth on the labels, since they value the trust of customers. Even in the stores of manufacturers belonging to the category of the best, the most attentive and responsive staff always works, which will help you find the desired product and will try to answer your questions.

Important! Quality goods should not have any smell, of course, if we are not talking about wooden blanks. But even in the latter case, the smell will be insignificant, since the raw material has gone through several stages of processing and cannot have a pronounced odority, like freshly cut wood.

DIY mobile: advantages and disadvantages

There are both advantages and disadvantages in making a mobile for your child with your own hands. The advantages of the created design include:

• the selection of materials, colors and designs is entirely up to the parents, you can bring any idea to life, which cannot be said about the finished products offered in the store;
• each element that will be involved can be personally checked for quality and safety;
• since the mobile will be created by your own hands, you will be sure of the safety of the structure;
• if the baby has already grown up, then the parents have the opportunity to make a mobile, based on the preferences of their child;
• devoting time and effort to inventing things for your child, you are investing love in this process, which will certainly have a positive effect on the relationship with the baby;
• by making a mobile for your child on your own, you can significantly save money, rather than buying a ready-made one.

Disadvantages:

• you will have to spend a lot of time and effort on choosing and thinking through a design, selecting suitable materials and directly creating a mobile;
• if you have never done needlework, difficulties may arise in the manufacturing process, so you will have to apply a lot of patience and perseverance.

No matter how unknown and mysterious the world of needlework may seem to you, all fears of creating a new thing will pass when you carefully look at the manual for making a particular product and understand how to proceed. Everything is not so difficult if you show a little patience and perseverance, including in the production of a children's mobile.

The process of creating a structure can be divided into 2 parts:

1. Frame fabrication.
2. Manufacturing of pendants.

An older baby can make a mobile with hanging letters and numbers

Workshops on making a frame base

The frame base is the part on which the pendants will be attached from below, and from above, with the help of a small device, it is attached to the ceiling, canopy or any other planes, depending on how convenient it is for mother and child.

Cross wood frame

Wooden bases come in different designs, to make the best of them you will need male help, but there is also an easier-to-manufacture option that even a child can handle.

Materials for making a wooden frame:

• 2 wooden sticks (can be taken for Chinese food);
• glue "Moment Crystal";
• thick thick thread (a clothesline will do);
• decorations as desired.

Progress:

1. Measure the prepared wooden sticks with a ruler and mark the middle. If using chopsticks for Chinese food, you will first need to make the same ends on both sides of each chopstick, trimming the desired side like a pencil with a knife, and then sanding to make it smooth.
2. Align the marks on both sticks and glue them with the Moment Crystal glue.
3. Take the prepared rope / thread and reliably wrap the fastened section with it, in the middle of the process make a loop up, so that at the end you can easily attach the structure to the desired plane.

It is also possible to additionally put pompons on the edges of the sticks or wrap the tree with a satin ribbon.

Idea! This design is well suited for creating a mobile in a nautical style. Just leave the sticks without any decorations, and take the thread for winding in red or blue or in a blue and white strip.

Frame in the form of a circle

A mobile based on a circular frame is less mobile, but things are much simpler with its manufacture.

The following materials will be required:

• embroidery hoop;
• scissors;
• thick rope or satin ribbon, etc. (for wrapping).

Progress:

There are other options for fastening systems made of fishing line on a circle (see photo).

Using the presented schemes, you can make an unusual mobile

If you are unable to print the details, then you can carefully redraw them onto paper with a pencil.

Attach the resulting paper stencils to pieces of felt of the desired colors, pin with safety pins, carefully circle and cut out.

A huge plus of felt is that its edges do not crumble, so there is no need to make additional allowances for allowances and processing of edges.

Sew the two parts of the body, placing the beak between them in the right place. Fill the figurine with padding polyester, cotton wool or scraps of fabric.

Do not forget to fill the bird with padding polyester before making the last stitches.

Sew on the rest of the birdie and glue the bead eyes. Sew on top of a loop of tape or thick thread for attaching to the mobile.

Optionally, you can decorate the bird

The bird is ready.

In the first weeks of life, babies see everything in black and white, and then they begin to distinguish a bright red color, so a mobile with red elements is a powerful developmental tool.

If at this stage you have any errors in your work, it is better to immediately dissolve and correct, since then it is much more difficult to do this.

Now, with bright threads of medium thickness, make marks in the place of narrowing, so it will be easier for you to count the rows.

Marks can be made not only with threads, for this there are special marking rings

Then knit according to the following instructions:

The finished whale body should look like this.

Due to the fact that we only made decreases on one side, the body bends by itself, but for a better result, you can use a wire

Now you need to tie the ponytail separately. To do this, knit according to the instructions:

• 1 row: 2 sb;
• 2nd row: 2 increments (4 sbn);
• 3rd row: increase, 2 sc, increase (6 sc);
• 4th row: 6 sbn;
• 5 row: decrease, 2 sb, decrease (4 sb);
• 6 row: 2 decreases (2 sbn);
• 7 row: 1 decrease.

You have got one half of the tail, now knit the second part in the same way.

Sew both tail pieces to the body of the whale.

All that remains is to tie the fins. This should be done as follows: 2 air loops, in the second we knit 3 double crochets, then 1 double crochet and 3 double crochets. We close. You now have one fin. Now, using the same pattern, tie the second one and sew both fins to the body of the whale.

Sew on the eyes of the whale.

The finished whale looks like this.

Such a knitted whale will delight the baby

Then we cut out 19-20 butterflies according to the template (they do not have to be made all of the same size).

We need to make 4 strands of butterflies. Arrange the butterflies by color first on the table and see which combinations they look best. Each strand starts with a large knot and a bead. Use threads that are approximately 1.5 m long and do not trim any excess until the very last moment.

What is a mobile and why is it needed

A mobile is a device that hangs over the baby's bed. Often this is a ring or any other mount from which several toys hang down. In stores, basically all mobiles have a mechanism that sets the structure in motion. This is what attracts the child's attention. If you create a mobile yourself, you will need to buy a rotating mechanism or leave it motionless.

Psychologists say that using a mobile helps develop visual attention. Thus, vague colored spots in newborns are formed into understandable patterns. The main thing is to correctly position the mobile so that the baby can follow the objects and concentrate on them.

Modeling from salt dough can be a fascinating joint pastime with children. More on this in ours.

The use of a mobile for a crib for newborns is undeniable, which is justified by a number of weighty arguments:

• it helps babies to quickly learn to focus their gaze on objects, since at birth the child sees the world around him blurry and indistinct;
• the mobile attracts the attention of children, thereby freeing up an extra minute for mom.

Before making a mobile with your own hands, you must take into account a number of requirements that apply to this product:

Mounting options

The bracket used for the canopy can serve as a stand for fastening. In addition, you can do it yourself from a metal-plastic pipe. It bends easily and takes the required shape.

A frame is needed for a mobile; in needlework for such products, a round wooden embroidery hoop can be used. And having fantasized with them, you can make a beautiful and interesting mobile. In addition, such a frame can be fixed without a stand by attaching a hook to the ceiling.

From paper

Paper mobiles are not as timeless as those made of wood or fabric, but they also turn out to be very interesting. This does not require a lot of materials. To do this, you need to stock up:

2. Cut about 15 ribbons on which the figures will be located. The length can vary from 25 to 35 cm. Each one can have several figures at once.
3. Prepare figures, you can cut anything out of paper. In our case, these are birds, clouds and feathers. Since the ribbons will fit between the parts, you need 2 parts per figure at once.
4. Use a glue gun to glue the figures to the ribbons. They must dry well before attaching to the module. Then attach them to the base.

A paper mobile can be used not only above the bed, but also for decorating the interior of the nursery. Beautiful paper figurines will fill the room with fabulous charm.

2. Prepare the base to which you want to attach the toys. For example, take a hoop and wrap it with ribbons. To keep it well, use a glue gun.
3. You can use figures of any shape, but in our case we string the round elements on the fishing line so that we get a garland.

This suspension can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. If we talk about the second option, then our makeshift garland can also be used for a stroller.
