Step-by-Step Guide for Using the Printable
Begin with downloading and printing your chosen shapes. Choose ‘best’ or ‘high quality’ printer settings for the sharpest print. Once printed, cut them out neatly. Use a cardstock paper of your choice for sturdier shapes.
Next, unleash your creativity on these cut-outs. You can paint, doodle, or even paste pictures on them. Once done, string them together on a thread by poking holes through each shape. Finally, tie this string around a stick or an embroidery hoop, and your mobile is ready!
Be careful to not overload one string with too many shapes, as it might make your mobile top-heavy.
Tips for Storing and Displaying Your Printable
Storing your cut-out shapes in a file or a box will keep them in top-notch condition. You can even make a small corner for your DIY kits, consisting of paints, threads, sticks, and these cut-outs.
As for displaying, hang them by your windows or doors, dangle them above your study desk or your bed, or you can even use them as an eye-catching centerpieces for your next party. Your fabric-tagged gift boxes would also get a fresh touch when tagged with small geometrical printables.
