I would constantly think of ways to try to make diaper changing time more pleasant, thats when I came up with the idea to make some kind of colorful mobil to be placed above the diaper changing table.  It’s such a simple DIY project.

Below are the steps of how to create your own mobile.

Materials:

origami paper or scrap book paper (which I used)
scissors
glue
pencil
string to hang hem

Just follow the directions in the picture tutorial below:

Fold your squared paper in fours

Turn your paper over and fold to make a triangle as the picture below

Mark with a  pencil a little less from the border to the middle. Do it on all four sides. See picture below.

diy4

Cut with scissors from the edge to your pencil mark on all four sides. See picture below.

Glue every other side on the folded flaps. Please see picture below.

diy7

Pull the unglued side over to the glued side. See picture below.

One side is ready, but you need one more to complete the star.

Repeat previous steps to make another star.
