A Novel Idea


Paper Mobile

Create graphic appeal from the pages of old books. Outdated novels are repurposed to create this mobile. Raid bookshelves at home, second hand stores and garage sales for materials. Cut out a square of of cardboard for the base of the mobile. Cover the cardboard underneath with a sheet of old paper lettering. Cut out pieces of cotton in the same length for the strands of the mobile. After cutting circles in various sizes out of the pages, thread the strands of cotton through the circles and attach to the cardboard base. Attach a hook to the top side of the cardboard and with a string, pin it to the ceiling. Perfect for a place in your house that is looking bare.
