How to Create a Calder'esque Mobile

Step 9 Hooks and Loops

Unhook the arm from the tool and hold it next to the tool to determine where you have to make the loop in this arm. Make the loop, attach a wood piece to the arm and hook the arm into the base wire, then take the tool and hook it into the arm's loop and check the balance. You can adjust it by shortening the wire, bending it down a bit or even reshaping the arm and placing the loop differently. Changing the weight of the wood piece is possible, too.
