A mobile of sorts

I knew our kid needed a mobile, something to lay down and look up at.  The criteria was simple, inexpensive, and thoughtful. So Courtney New and Michelle Iris Latham and a few of her school pals folded us a bounty of beautiful origami cranes. What whimsical little things our little person can look around at. Eventually he or she will move her arms to make them fly and we will hear giggles from the other room. 

This is how: 

The line of cranes are strung with premium clear fishing line and white thread. Kenny suggested crossing a short line in the corner there, to vary the crane placement. I recommend hanging the line first and tying each crane individually so there's no tangling. Each crane was strung by a sewing needle through the back and tied with a simple knot. This is a nice, methodical task to spend time with while you wait patiently for your little one to arrive. 

Cheerio!
