🌟 Mobile Assembly Instructions

Creating the Mobile Frame:

Prepare the hoop: Wrap your 8-inch embroidery hoop or wooden ring with white yarn or ribbon, securing with small stitches every few inches.
Create stability base: Cut a circle of cardboard slightly smaller than your hoop. Cover with white fabric or yarn. This will help distribute weight evenly.
Attach hanging system: Cut 4 equal lengths of ribbon/yarn (about 8 inches each). Tie them at equal intervals around the hoop, bringing all four ends together at the top. Adjust length as needed.

Hanging the Pieces:

Level 1 (Outer ring – 6 pieces):

Attach pieces at varying heights: 8-12 inches from hoop
Sun, Earth, Mars, Saturn, 2 stars
Space pieces 2-3 inches apart around circumference

Level 2 (Inner ring – 4 pieces):

Hang 4-6 inches from hoop
Astronaut, Moon, UFO, 1 star
Position between outer pieces for layered effect

Weight Balance Tips:

Test as you go: Hang the mobile and check balance after attaching each piece
Adjust heights: Move heavier pieces (like astronaut) higher up to reduce torque
Counter-balance: Place lighter pieces (stars) opposite heavier ones
Fine-tuning: Add small amounts of stuffing to lighter pieces if needed

Securing Attachments:

Use strong knots and double-secure all connections
Leave 2-3 inches of yarn tail when attaching pieces
Consider using small dabs of fabric glue on knots for extra security
Check all connections periodically as mobile settles

✨ Finishing Touches

Add faces: Use black embroidery thread to create simple smiling faces on sun, moon, planets, and astronaut.

Final assembly check: Gently spin the mobile to ensure smooth movement and proper spacing.

Safety note: Ensure mobile hangs well out of baby’s reach and all pieces are securely attached.

This cosmic creation will bring wonder and joy to any nursery, inspiring little dreamers to reach for the stars! 🌟👶🚀
