Kinetic Paper Mobile paper construction project / LETTER
A good fit for your idea?
Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.
Materials and construction
Plain 100 to 140 gsm paper for a first dimensional trial; approximately 160 to 220 gsm card only after confirming the folds. Use a ruler, suitable scissors, a blunt scoring tool and a small amount of paper adhesive. An adult should handle internal cuts, holes and small fasteners.
Before making a batch
Measure the 50 mm reference and two named component dimensions.
Make a complete empty trial and document fold direction, joining order, collision, stability and any fragile features.
Repeat the trial using your chosen paper. Check that every join holds and each moving part works freely before decorating.

- Portrait
Two 120 mm support discs with 6 mm center holes and four 3.6 mm attachment holes; four 60 mm decorations. Use one disc as a reinforcing layer.
From file to finished page
- Cut both discs and glue them together with their holes aligned. Keep the reinforced support flat while it dries.
- Cut the four decorations around their outer contours. Keep interior artwork uncut and attach a thread to the back of each with a small paper fixing strip.
- Tie the decoration threads through the four outer support holes. Keep them separate and adjust their lengths until the disc balances when supported at its center.
- Use the center hole for a separate suspension loop. Test the joins with the mobile close to a table; keep it away from heat, sleeping areas and small children.
Printing and use notes
Drawing dimensions describe flat paper surfaces, not verified internal capacity, load strength, fit or material compatibility.
No mailing, food-contact, archival, toy-safety, protective-wear or cutting-machine certification is supplied.
Make a plain-paper trial first; paper thickness and fold accuracy can change the fit.
