Remember when I posted this idea a while ago?
Shorty thereafter, I was contacted by an editor from Photojojo who asked me to write a tutorial to make *photo* globes. Oh, and I should mention that right after I received the email request, I was browsing the shelves at my local Barnes and Noble bookstore and I saw a book: Photojojo: Insanely Great Photo Projects and DIY ideas. Whoa, I thought! They have a book out? HOW COOL that they asked me to contribute to their website!
I wanted to share the tutorial with you!!
This is the link to my Photojojo write-up, but I've also included the photo steps below. For detailed instructions, head over to Photojojo! At the end of the tutorial, I've included steps to take it further with lots of different uses. If you make one, I'd love to see your creativity! Feel free to email me your project photos at recipe4cute@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI run Fun Family Crafts, a site similar in nature to Craftgawker and Spotlight, but different in that it's a library of craft tutorials geared only at kids. I would love it if you'd stop by and submit this to be featured! (I link to you, I don't post your tutorial on the site) Feel free to submit as many kid friendly craft tutorials as you like! http://funfamilycrafts.com/
Gorgeous! We are expecting a baby boy due in a month, will definitely make one for him :)
ReplyDeleteI ADORE this! I've already just made one to hang in my classroom and I plan on having the kids create single spheres as hanging christmas decorations this year. Thanks for the fabulous project!
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks hanging above the crib! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, i am so doing this, need to update my old mobile. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteMy nephew would love this baby mobile! I'll be making one soon! However, I can't use this in my scrapbooking projects. But I would be making this definitely. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis mobile is so innovative! I love that you include photos of families for the baby to look at. What a fun way to teach face recognition & colors at the same time! When I saw this tutorial, I recall I have a stack of pretty paper in my drawer just waiting to be used, so I will be making a few to pretty up my studio. Thanks for sharing!!
