Ideas for Arts and Crafts Projects for Making Mobiles with Hangers for Children, Teens, and Preschoolers. Home > Arts and Crafts Projects for Kids > Mobile Arts and Crafts Projects ALL ABOUT MOBILESYears and years ago, the Chinese fashioned movable ornaments of little painted glass prisms.
These were hung in open doorways and windows and the wind would cause the prisms to strike gently against each other making a delightful tinkling sound. Our modern mobiles are made up of all sorts of objects suspended from a framework in such a manner as to be movable. The simplest mobile (for younger children) can be made by hanging one object from a single thread or string. The next easiest form of mobile is made by suspending two objects on a stick of wood or piece of wire which is suspended by a single thread in such a position as to allow ease of movement and to create balance. The mobile may become more and more complex (for older children) as additional groups of objects and strips of wood or wire are suspended from each other in such a way as to create balance and ease of movement. Objects to be suspended may be made from paper, wire, papier- mache, pipe cleaners, etc.

HOW TO BUILD A BASIC MOBILE STRUCTUREBend a wire coat hanger into a diamond shape. Attach cross pieces of thin wire, as in Figure 1. Beads and ornaments may be strung on the cross wires, or objects may be suspended from them . Join three wire coat hangers into a tree- like skeleton, as in Figure 2. Assemble a child's building toy for framework, as in Figure 3. Thin pieces of dowel in varying lengths may also be used.
HOW TO SUSPEND OBJECTSWire, heavy thread or string may be used to suspend ornaments. When knots are tied, and the balance of the ornament on the structure is achieved, put a drop of glue or household cement over the knot to hold it in place. Making Greeting Card Mobiles. People send you greeting cards when it is your birthday, when your sick, when it is Christmas or Easter or another holiday. To save some of the love that your family and friends have sent to you in the mail, how about making a greeting card mobile. Get a wire hanger and wrap ribbon, yarn, string, decorative paper, raffia, or other material all around it so that the hanger looks beautiful.
Then cut all different sizes of string or ribbon and tie them to different parts of the hanger. Then just glue your greeting cards onto the strings. Hang this from a hook and you have a beautiful piece of art to look at. Making Animals Themed Mobiles.

Make Fish Mobiles with Metal Coat Hangers(PARENTAL SUPERVISION NEEDED) These fish mobiles turn out gorgeous.. Get a thin wire coat hanger and snip the hook from it with wire snippers. So now you should have one long strip of wire left (when straightened out).
Now make a sharp bend near the center and then 2 reverse bends one inch from first to create the fish's mouth. Then cross the wires about four inches from the ends to form his tail fin (see picture above). Now just bend tail so wires meet and tape together.
You can make 2 fish out of one wire hanger. Now hang the fish mobile by string, thread, or yarn. A cool thing to do (optionally) is to take a copper pot cleaner (as seen above) and remove the fastener so that you see a copper mesh netting. Now stretch it in place over the fish for his scales.
