While we consider this project beginner-to-intermediate-level in difficulty, it does take patience and care to bring it all together. The magic lies in the small details of this project. Precision is important here, so remember to take your time. Oh, and here’s a tip: we recommend using tiny dots of tacky glue to hold your felt pieces in place until you’re ready to secure everything with your needle and thread.

For our Felt Seagull Mobile, we used calming shades of white and gray with a cheerful pop of yellow for the beaks. The simple felt sailboat and puffy clouds add a storybook element to help guide sleepy little ones gently into dreamland. Lastly, we hung our elements from one of our wood arch mobiles. Because of their pre-drilled holes, I much prefer to use these. However, a wooden embroidery hoop would work beautifully for this project as well. 

This Felt Seagull Mobile adds the perfect touch to a nautical-themed nursery or playroom. Think decorative accents in shades of blue, sailboats, and maybe an ocean buddy or two. For instance, our adorable Felt Seahorses would look right at home perched on top of a dresser or shelf.

When your Felt Seagull Mobile is ready to take flight, it also makes an excellent baby shower gift for an expectant friend or relative. We can’t wait to see all the places your mobile will go, so be sure to tag us with the hashtag #MadeWithLia on Instagram.
