Star Money Mobile
⭐️ Star Money Mobile ⭐️ As part of this weeks #fairytaleweeks I have decided to make an easy mobile, great for the playroom or nursery and great for beginners too. All you need is: ⭐️ Embroidery inner hoop pr macrame hoop ⭐️ Star cookie cutters in different sizes ⭐️ Medium size circle cutter ⭐️ Wool roving in yellows, a skin tone of choice ⭐️ A polystyrene ball or other small wool ball for the head ⭐️ Pipe cleaner ⭐️ Needle felting Mat and needle ⭐️ Sewing Needle and threads in various colours ⭐️ Wool yarn in hair colour of choice and matching thread ⭐️ Scrap fabric for clothes ⭐️ Yarn for hanging and hook Method: 1. Felt your stars and moon, fill your cookie cutters with wool roving and then use your needle to felt the fibres together on a felting May until the shapes are smooth and defined. Depending on the quality of your roving you might jot get a completely smooth finish. 2. Make you doll head, pull tufts of roving and arrange crossed in a start, place the centre point on the ball and pull and smooth down the rest of the roving around the ball to the base to form a neck, use a strip of roving to wrap around to secure and felt closed with your needle. 3. Cut a pipe cleaner so it looks a right length, fold the ends over to make hands, wrap tight in roving and then felt. Place between the ‘neck’ tuft below the head and felt to secure. Wrap extra roving around the neck and under the arms to build a body. 4. Trace around your scrap fabric three layers of dress. Use a back stitch to sew the seams leaving the holes for the arms and neck. Turn the right way and then slip over the head, with two of the layers at the front of the doll and one at the back. 5. Take the top layer at the front, Pull it up over the hands to form a pouch and stitch, you can place a star in here or a battery operated tea light. 6. Add hair, stitching lengths of yarn onto the top of the head and then plaiting and styling, stitch into place. 7. Thread yarn crosswise across your hoop, knot a thread and pass it up through the doll head securing with a stitch, thread on your moons and stars. Finally balance the mobile by adding yarn at 4 equidistant points of the hoop,
