I love those birds. I’ve just made a bunch of them using the Spool pattern to create a mobile for my baby to come. I’ve tied them to the structure with ribbons. You can check it out here : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2010/01/24/16638739.html
Hope U like it !
They’re not as pretty as yours, but I’m still a sewing beginner …

I’ve made two of these, and just suspended the birds from ribbon the 2nd round to avoid the balancing act (http://heynowwhoanow.com/handmade/mobile-madness/). Yours inspire me to try again… they’re so sweet perched! And love that the wire looks like feet. Much cuter that hot glue. :\

The wire I used was very thin, so I just threaded it through the fabric itself.

Good luck!!

It was quite a fine wire, so I could thread it through the fabric on the birds first.

Good luck!!

Any advice?
