Your baby is the most important person on this Earth. That’s why we here at Lia Griffith have created this outstanding paper geode crib mobile! This handmade baby project looks amazing and it’s incredibly simple to make. Nap time has just become more precious.
Rock-a-Bye Baby!
And thanks to our friends at Paper-Papers, we are giving you this pattern for FREE. Download your free geode mobile template below. Then, follow along with our photo tutorial on PaperPapers to assemble your crib mobile.
For the mobile geode, we used Paper-Papers’ POPTONE and shimmer metallic papers. Together, these really shine and stimulate any young mind! Both papers have solid hold so your geode shapes stay put. Also, the colors are pastel, giving a soft feel to the entire project. For the list of papers used in this mobile project, visit PaperPapers.com.
