I made this project as a baby shower decoration that could then be used as a mobile above the baby's crib. I think it could be fun for a one year olds birthday as well. By using different papers this idea could be used for so many different occasions. (I can just see one made with Lost and Found...) The possibilities are endless!
To make it, I started with an old lamp shade and removed the covering, leaving me with just the cool wire frame. I used the chipboard elements and just five pieces of paper to make all of the accordion folded spinners. Each of the spinners is made with two strips of paper ranging from 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" wide. I adhered the circles and chipboard to the spinners with a glue gun just to make sure it will all stay stuck down tight. After that, all that was left to do was to attach the spinners to the wire frame with an assortment of ribbons.
