  • Drill with Boring Bit same size as the top of the test tube

  2. With your drill and boring bit drill holes in each marked location.
  3. Sand the drilled areas to smooth then out
  4. Screw test tube in each hole
  5. To allow for the mobile to be suspended, tie fishing wire on to the floral ring wire every 8 test tube. Bring each wire to centre and twisting them around one another to form a cord of wire.  Depending on where the piece will be hung, you may wrap the excess wire into the shape of a circle so it can be hung on a hook.
