not martha — Christmas tree ornament mobile
When I was shopping for ornaments to use found a lot on sale and went a little crazy. I decided it would be worth it to see how three different options would look. I did a variety of silver ornaments that came as a boxed set, green ornaments with three different textures and three sizes of clear glass ornaments that look a bit like bubbles.
Here is the mobile in context of our dining room (please forgive the mid-present wrapping clutter). We have room to put presents below it, and are still able to peek out the windows to see if the neighbor’s cat is visiting our front porch.
The ornaments are hung on regular ornament hooks attached to jewelry monofilament secured with crimp beads. I’ll put up details of how the mobile was created tomorrow. snoogle Instructions on how I made it are right over here .
Amazing!
what do you mean you are “not martha!” i beg to differ! this is so clever and beautiful! snoogle unfortunately it would be a huge tangled snoogle Christmas mess in our house with a 2 yo and a large dog! but i LOVE IT! the “bubbles” are so gorgeous!
And I have several color wheels from the 60′s that I used with my aluminum tree that would make this so cool….. I do not have room for a table tree in my front window, but I do have room for a ‘flat’ version of this in front of the window. And then with the color wheel!!!
This snoogle is amazing looking, and perfect for small apartment/condo dwellers. If we didn’t already have our artificial (watch the cat and dog try to eat both plastic and wood) tree up, I would definitely be trying this!
Thanks everybody! I’m so happy to know you like it. I wish I had a way to get pictures in front of a blank wall, I find the curtains distracting snoogle in the photos but the tree is more of a focus in real life.
What a great idea! My sister is moving into a small apartment while out of state for some training, and was lamenting her lack of space for a real tree. I’ll be sharing this as a lovely, clever solution!
I was set on creating something like this but I couldn’t figure out an attractive way to secure the filament to a frame or support system. Plus the popcorn ceilings at my place make these kind of hangings alarmingly unstable.
Just gorgeous, especially the silver version. Sadly, I can only imagine what my cat would do to this, and to herself, within minutes of seeing it. To her eyes, this would look like about a hundred cat toys all hung just for her to tangle.
Very crafty cool!
This is brilliant, and I LOVE the photo of the ornaments from below – would be stunning framed.
Marnie – I’m so sorry, I didn’t have it up until recently. I’m afraid I have to start creating these things a year in advance if I want to be timely! I’ll try to start thinking holidays earlier :)
amazing! our family friend used to float her tree in the air. they had a outcove in the ceiling and they would hang the tree (no idea on how they watered it) and it was so magical and light. this is just like that!

This is genious! Elegant, simple, artistic, snoogle eco-friendly, clean and with an amazing WOW factor. The green shows up the most against the while background but I am intrigued by the mixed texture silver ornaments and the clear ones really DO look like bubbles. Thanks for sharing!
Love it! Last year, we were in Paris for Christmas, and Sonia Rykiel had ornaments hanging in the windows. The display was just fabulous—and yours is reminiscent of that window. I might even like yours more!
You are a creative genius!!! I absolutely LOVE this!!!!

What a great idea! I love it! Thanks for tweeting about it. I found your tweet and came here. All three of them look great. If I can find cheap ornaments at after Christmas sales here in Jakarta, Indonesia, I will try to make one next year! Kaho
