The above link advertises a butterfly mobile which I have seen in the shop and is made using a sort of transparent string. But it's not string, it's plasticky or something. Does anyone know what I mean and where I can buy this stuff to make my own mobile?

Answer 1

Oh, i think i know what you mean.... um, you can get some at HOBBY LOBBY, JOANNES, or any craft shop really.

Answer 2

I use fishing line, it works great!

Answer 3

fishing line is easy to find at any store that has a sporting goods section.  It sometimes looks blue on the spool, but is clear as glass and comes in different strengths.  It's cheap, and you get a ton!

Also, a craft store would sell the clear stretchy cording in the beading department, and most likely would also sell plasti-canvas supplies which include plastic cording in a variety of colors.

Answer 4

You can get a spool of clear nylon thread at any fabric store

Answer 5

Fishing line. Any sporting good store or bait shop.

Clear and much stronger then thread.
