Baby Mobile Making

Gather Mum To Be's closest friends and family to design a personalised baby mobile themed to suit the new arrival with this fun baby shower activity. 

A perfect handmade addition to any nursery! All the guests can contribute to a beautiful baby mobile that can hang above the baby's cot. Sure to be something special that will be treasured by the family for a long time.

We'll work with you before the session to decide upon a theme for the mobile and select the best materials, trims, and delightful haberdashery to match. You could theme the mobile around farmyard animals, under the sea, the weather, or even use the parents-to-be’s hobbies or jobs to inspire you.

On the day we will show you a number of creative and decorative techniques to make the personal elements to hang from the completed mobile including needle felting, hand sewing, surface decoration, appliqué and more. All the guests can work together to create and fill the 3D elements to hang, as well as constructing the mobile itself.

Did you know?

We also offer a patchwork workshop to, where you can create a bespoke Baby Quilt as an alternative Baby Shower activity. 

The workshop was certainly the highlight of, and anchor for, my Baby Shower. None of my guests had attended one before and it sparked a great deal of interest and creativity in the group. Everyone came up with something very unique to their personalities. Eden was a great host who gave clear guidance and actively offered to help everyone as needed, including me (which was particularly important because one of my pregnancy symptoms is carpal tunnel making my fingers quite numb at times).
I am delighted to have a memento and I will show it to my little one when she is older and reminisce about how we celebrated her impending arrival in 2023. All round a great experience.
