STEP 2 : COLOUR IN THE SHAPES
Colour in the flower shapes as you like (the light grey lines are there as a guide; they disappear under the coloured pencil).
They can be monochrome or multicoloured – have fun ! Gently wipe your drawing with a microfibre cloth every now and then to remove the pencil dust.

STEP 3 : CUT OUT THE SHAPES
Once you’ve coloured in the flower shapes, cut them out, making sure to leave a few millimetres of white outline. Then colour in the other side.

STEP 4 : COMPOSE YOUR GARLANDS
Play around with the shapes to make the three little garlands. Be sure to distribute the shapes uniformly to balance the mobile.
If one of your garlands is longer than the others, place it in the middle.

STEP 5 : MAKE YOUR GARLANDS
When you’re happy with your composition, sew the shapes together, starting at the bottom of each garland. Using a needle and a nylon thread about 50 cm in length, make front stitches about 5 mm long and space the shapes about 2 cm apart. Leave a longer piece of thread at the top (about 15-20 cm) in preparation for the final assembly of the mobile.
STEP 6 : ASSEMBLE YOUR GARLANDS
Cut a 4 x 29.7 cm strip from another sheet of 250 g paper. Draw a line down its centre (2 cm from the long edge).
Score along this line (the centre fold) e.g. with a pen that no longer works, then sew the garlands to the support by stitching the threads into the fold.

Pass a new nylon thread through the paper strip to suspend the mobile (forming a triangle). Now glue the strip shut.
STEP 7 : ARRANGE YOUR GARLANDS
Decorate the paper strip with a pretty pattern and colours of your choice.
