If you live in Sweden and read this post I must tell you at once that I don’t intend to tell you how to make a cell phone – the Swedish word for cell phone being mobile phone. No, I like to tell you how to make something funny or beautiful to hang from your ceiling.
Gingerbread mobile
You need : gingerbreads, wire and string
Make your own gingerbreads or buy them readymade. Make a hole in them before baking or punch a tiny hole in the readymade by using a needle.
Let yourself go wild with the frosting
Make a “wreath” using wire and hang your gingerbreads in strings from it. Use various length on your strings.
Enjoy! ( ….and you can eat it after Christmas if you like)
Flower and tin mobile with glass hearts
Make a wreath of wire. Cover it with scraps of fabric. I used white felt. Decorate it with scraps of tin can and other Christmas ornaments. I use hearts made of glass. Hang an Amaryllis in the middle of the wreath. The good thing about an Amaryllis is that it’s stem is like a vase and you can pour water down it and water it that way.
Hope you like to try it out!

Hello again Jeanette!
We in the Netherlands use the same word; mobiel and mobiel for a. cell phone and b. mobile, yes our languages are related! Love the idea of a mobile, I have one right in front of me with your card attachted, I attached that to a lamp as we live in a 19th century home and we have all our ceilings beautifully plastered with ornaments and stuff. I can make those cookies anyhow and I love the idea of the upside down amarylis. Thanks for another great start of the day!
