Coloring the Napkins
Take about 6 napkins and lay them flat outside. If it's windy, hold down the corners with mulch or stones
Flick the dye onto the napkin until you have the desired effect
Repeat with all 6 napkins
Keep them outside until fully dry
**If you don't want your hands to be stained afterwards, I suggest wearing latex gloves. If you don't mind the color (like myself) then don't bother with this step ;)**

Body Base
While the napkins are drying, you can make the wire body bases.
Create the body like shown above. This is an easy step, just recreate the picture.
Dip the body into diluted glue or mod podge and begin wrapping
Tear 1" strips out of napkins and tightly wrap them around the body.
Repeat 3 times.

Creating the Dresses
Fold the dyed napkin in half to form a triangle, then line up the edge with the adjacent one.
Cut straight across, sizing it to the wire ballerina base.
Curl the napkin around itself to make it fluffier
Cut tiny holes for the head and arms and delicately put the dress over the body.
Use a piece of small string and tie a bow around the ballerina's waist to tighten the dress.
Repeat with the other 2 ballerinas.

Hanging It Up
Reform a wire clothes hanger in a large hoop.
Thread fishing line through the ballerina's head and hang it onto the hoop.
String beads into the fishing line and hang it in between the ballerinas if you prefer.

Stringing the Mobile
Now just cut two long, equal strands of fishing line and tie it tightly on four corners of the hoop.
Create a small hook with the wire to hang up your mobile
