This adorable bird mobile by Spool Sewing will be the highlight of your nursery decor. All you need are some scraps of fabric, batting, some branches from your tree, a few eye-hooks, and some string.
The pattern for the birds can be found here. While reading through the comments on the post, I found that they used a little bit of rice in the bottom of these birds to help weight them properly for the mobile. They also mentioned that to connect them to the branches they used some dark thread sewn through the bottom of the birds and then wrapped around the branches several times. It was recommended to start at the bottom of the mobile, place the birds where you would like them, then determine where to place the string by finding the correct balance point on the branch. Best of all, it's completely customizable to your taste! - Trisha

I just saw this cute tutorial on a blog on how to make fun Holiday shirts for the family using hands and feet for creating a reindeer.
I was thinking that it would be adorable to do with with your baby on a simple white onesie. Then you have a holiday outfit for them, and also a remembrance of how tiny their hands and feet were. I would add the year onto the shirt, and possibly do one every year. Then you could look back and have a collage of how they have grown.
Another idea with this would be to do it on a canvas and hang it up instead of making it on a shirt. You could do a whole family of reindeer using each family member's hands and foot, then hang them in a row for decorations. - Trisha
