DIY: Mobile for the Nursery

Okay I finally crafted a DIY that I'm actually going to use. It's a miracle!
First: I cut up some old maps using one of those humungo circle cutter things.(I had to get the maps from an antique store. Funny.)

 Second: I strung the circles together with bakers twine. I put a dab of hot glue to keep the twine on and then a glue stick for the top circle. Each little hangy thing has two sides.

Next: I made each at varying lengths with a different amount of circles on each string. I made ten strings total.

 The actual mobile part is one of those picture hanging mobiles with clips.

Lastly: I tacked it to the ceiling right above his little book shelf.

I think this would make a perfect holiday project. You could use any holiday scrapbook paper and use all the same techniques.
