DIY Mini Mobiles: Crafting with Air Dry Clay, Thrifted Beads, & Acrylic Paints

In this video, we’re taking the air-dried clay elements from our YouTube Shorts and transforming them into five charming mini mobiles!

These mobiles are perfect for adding a touch of creativity to gifts, hanging in unexpected spots around your home, or even adding flair to your rearview mirror. We’ll use acrylic paints and beads from broken jewelry and thrift store finds, making this a fun and budget-friendly project.

Many of these projects feature Plaid FolkArt paints. If you’d like to try them out, visit https://www.plaidonline.com and use code PRACTICINGCRAFT for 15% off your order!
