Smile Homemade Atom and a Swing

Here are the pictures of an Atom and a Swing i made for my fids..

i used some embroidery hoops, cotton rope and some jute rope to make these.
and instead of using glue i sewed the ends so i guess these are 100% safe for my babies

Fantastic job! I never thought to use embroidery hoops before. They look like a lot of fun!

Those look great. I'm surprised your fingers aren't too numb to type after all that wrapping. :) I'm almost afraid to ask but about how long did it take you to make the atom ball? I purchased one last summer but my birds are slowly unraveling it.

You did a fantastic job on the Atom! I'm curious too how long it took you to make it.

Oh yes my hands were a bit numb for a while, i had to keep stretching my fingers..but i'm happy with the results and that you guys liked it..!!
it took me almost 2 hrs to complete this atom, swing was the easiest one it took me just 30 min to make it....i'll soon post the pics of my fids on them..
