need help finding items to make a baby rattle and mobile
I am trying to make a baby rattle and a mobile, but can not find some
things. The book says to use a 1" diameter plastic egg for the rattle, and a 9" expandable apron clip by Dritz that has an opening or split in it for the mobile. I have searched all over the internet and called several craft stores and turned up nothing. Where can I find these? Thanks! |

Those plastic eggs are pretty fragile, and it wouldn't take much for the little nipper to break the thing and gain access to whatever you put inside to make it rattle. -- Pat Kight |

Well, first of all, I am not sure they make easter eggs 1" in diameter. The rattle I am wanting to make is a stuffed bunny, so the egg will have stuffing and fabric around it. I would hope that the baby couldn't break that. The problem is finding ANY hollow ball or egg that size. Ah, that's clearer. Thanks for the clarification. How about the little plastic containers used in gumball-style vending machines to contain wee toys? Those should be just about perfect, and wouldn't cost you more than a quarter (or whatever the going rate for those things is). -- Pat Kight |

write to DRITZ.COM and find out what stores in your area carry this product.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. I will try that.
