One of the projects I'm most looking forward to is creating a custom mobile to hang over the crib. It should be a relatively easy craft project, and one that lets my creativity run wild. There is a lot of inspiration to be found in the land of Blogivania, where origami crane mobiles abound and bird motifs reign supreme. But here are 11 DIY mobiles that stand out from the pack and appear relatively simple to make.
