Elephant Mobile

My daughter asked if i would make a brightly coloured mobile to go above Gilby's cot. So I looked at a few ideas on the internet and decided to use felt. I made a paper pattern, drawing an elephant outline, cut out the felt, top stitched the two pieces of elephant together, leaving a small gap to fill with wadding and then finished off the stitching. I now need to find fine wire to use to make the bars for the elephant to hang from. I will try and remember to photograph the finished mobile.
