A lovely addition to your nursery is a DIY mobile. It not only decorates your nursery, but babies love the colorful dangling parts of the mobile. Just hang it above the crib or changing table out of the baby's reach and enjoy the handmade touch it gives to the space. If you don't have your own nursery to decorate with a mobile, these make wonderful gifts.
Most of these DIY mobiles are beginner projects. Some require some specialized skills like sewing or paper crafting but all of these can be handled by the confident beginner.
