How to Create a Calder'esque Mobile

Step 8 Tipping Point

Use the mobile tool to find the arm's tipping point, and that's where you'll make the loop in the arm. Slide a wood piece on the end of the mobile tool, while you leave the base piece hanging off its hook. Then take the new arm wire and hook it into one of the loops of the tool. Find the loop that allows for best balancing.
