Customize an infant mobile

So when one of your best friends and his girlfriend are expecting on having a baby,  a present is expected. But it can't be normal friends presents like clothes or diapers or etc... We are ALL into Volkswagens and I am sure it is going to be passed on to the next generation, the childs generation. So where does that leave me? With having to CREATE that gift, and in short time.. I am a procrastinator big time. Gets me into some seriously rough situations at times. But this time I had plenty of time 1 night!!!!

So I ran to the store, found a perfectly good toy to modify..  Dug through some of my VW stuff.. Grabbed some tools and a camera, and here it is..

Step 1

Doin this exact build again would be nearly impossible trying to find these exact pieces so I will just show you what I did and you can go from there.
Select the mobile.. Had to have the right tune, the right colors, and be easily customizable... FOUND IT!!
Find the VW gear for customization.. Some soft stuffed keychains, some promotional soft balls, a frisbee with a vw wheel, and an emblem from an engine cover...
Grabbed a few tools and a items from scrap area..
