Homemade Baby Sock Monkey Crib Mobile

Homemade Baby Sock Monkey Crib Mobile

I have attached a picture of a homemade sock monkey crib mobile that I made to go with the custom crib set that I bought for our baby boy's nursery! We decided to decorate his first room in a sock monkey nursery theme because my husband had several of these stuffed toys that he loved and played with all the time when he was a child!

What we have learned since we chose this design for our baby boy's nursery is that this theme is more difficult to decorate than other nursery themes. It has been very challenging to find decorations for the room and this is why our sock monkey crib mobile is handmade.

From the webmaster:

You know, I never noticed before but not a one of the crib sets that are for sale have mobiles included as part of the matching accessories in the bedding collection! You are so creative and talented to be able to make your own!

And I would love to hear exactly how you made it! Did you buy a baby mobile kit and then attach the dolls that you made? Do you have a resource for a miniature sock monkey pattern that you can give us in case another mom wants to copy your ideas?

Thanks so much for sharing pictures of your monkey themed mobile with Unique Baby Gear Ideas, Alisha!

Making my last granddaughter Nursery with sock monkeys can't find any little ones to make the mobile. Don't so due to being born without hands. Can you help me? I sure love them and my daughter also does. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks

by: Alisha

I found a used mobile at a second hand store. They had three to choose from. All three had the Precious Moments material on them. Before I purchased it, I made sure the mounting that hooks to the crib worked properly and secured to the crib. And I also made sure that the wind-up part that plays music worked as well. Once I looked at them closely, the one I purchased has a working wind-up an on/off button for the music and no cracks in the mounting! I bought it for $5! Took it home stripped the old material off, sterilized the mounting and added my own decorations!!! Very fun and easy to do!

I love your sock monkey nursery ideas. The baby mobile is precious and seems easy enough for even a beginner like myself to manage. I would be totally lost trying to follow a pattern!

I have one question, where did you get the parts that you needed to make the crib mobile (other than the sock monkeys) like the mounting bracket?

Congratulations on your baby boy!

This mobile was something that I came up with as I was searching for decor for the baby's room. I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to look for hampers. As I was walking out, I noticed Sock Monkey Key chains hanging at the register! I purchased all of the traditional colors! I started shopping second hand stores for used Mobiles and came across one for $5. I stripped all of the old material off, sterilized everything, removed the plastic key chain from the Sock Monkey, then attached the monkeys by red yarn! I wanted simple and I think it was a great addition to the room!
