Transparent thread used for making mobile?

I'm interested in making a mobile such that the objects appear to float in the air (i.e. does not look like it is connected to the top part or anything else).

What type of string or thread do I use to achieve that look and where do I find it?

Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things! Visit The Nest!Visit The Nest! We have four children; one left us too soon.

  • I would suggest fishing line.  It is stronger than invisible thread.

    That was what I was going to say, too.  I have a spool of fishing line in my thread box!

    Ditto both these ladies. Fishing line will likely work best. :)
