My vision was a sweet strawberry nursery for our baby girl Coco. Coco’s room is 90% homemade with touch of thrift and 100% mom and dads love. This went beyond what I visioned!

Thanks Creative Crumbs!
I bought:
Biggest red Acrylic Pompoms from a craft store.
Smallest Black Acrylic Pompoms for the seeds. ( yellow would be better b.c then you do not have to paint them yellow)
One sheet of green felt for 25 cents at a craft store.
Some tulle in red or pink I used pink b.c i already had some
Fishing wire
green string -i used the kind they sale at craft stores for those braided necklaces kids make.
wooden Hoop- They sale in craft stores. They are used to frame needlepoint. Pick the desire size of your mobile to hang on. You will use the inner hoop.
Hook from lowes to put in the ceiling
To make the strawberries I took the red balls and put tulle over each ball like a candy wrapper and sewed the top to shape it more like a strawberry . After that I drew on the green felt a sun and cut it out. I placed the green sun shape on top of the red balls where i sewed the tulle together and sew it on. Then I took super glue and put black pom balls on the red ball to make seeds. I realized that seeds should be yellow so I painted over them with yellow acrylic paint.. After it was all dry i sewed the green string on the top of each strawberry so it would be long enough to hang as I desired on the mobile. I painted the hoop red with acrylic. I then looped and tied each strawberry on the hoop . My husband then cut four fishing wire strings and drilled four holes in the hoop. We tied fishing wire each in a knot through the drill holes and then centered all four strings around a gold metal circle he had in his tool box. We attached one string of fishing wire to the celling and worked on balancing it and there you have it. I sort of winged this project and it with trail and error achieved it. I hope this helps!

Shabby chic and vintage, now that’s really a great combination. I love this room… it makes me want to design my own room in the same manner. Strawberries for Coco. :)
