Step 2: Cut pieces of string to varying lengths. Tie onto a stick or craft dowel, leaving a 1-2″ space between each piece of string.
Step 3: Use a dot of craft glue or piece of tape to affix the ends of your strings to each piece of fruit.
Step 4: For the final step, cut a long piece of yarn, decorative string or twine and tie each end to the ends of your stick or dowel rod, then hang from the middle. You can tie on ribbons or pompoms for a little added fun!
This colorful mobile looks so cute as a DIY nursery decoration or simple summer hanging. And it’s a tootie-fruity easy addition to a summer BBQ or fruit-themed party. Fruit lovers will also have fun making some quick fruit fingerprint art or a summery-sweet set of DIY fruit magnets!
