Wowie, crib mobiles can be expensive! These handmade mobiles cost much less. They may not spin or play music, but I think you’ll agree that they’re so cute they don’t need to. You’ll find tutorials for making these mobiles, along with more pics, at the links below.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing these!! I'm so excited to have a unique mobile and one that we can personalize for our nursery and not spend a fortune on!
Just in case anyone wants to spin one of these…
I had been looking for a way to get my baby's mobile to spin longer than 15 minutes (or 30 seconds, with the wind-up ones), as Baby James is as much an insomniac as his father. For a lighter mobile, one of those battery-powered Christmas ornament spinners may work. Personally, I've found that a battery-powered disco-ball spinner works great, and only cost about $10 online.
