If you're looking for a fun, DIY alternative to a mobile for a baby's room, you might consider this cute project at The Joyeful Journey. You can make your own hot air balloon (or balloons) from Chinese lanterns.
Joye, the genius behind The Joyeful Journey, provides a detailed and beautiful tutorial to make these lovely hanging elements. What we love is that you can customize them however you want, adding passengers into the basket or using any color or pattern you want.

These are very cute! Hot air balloons must be very popular at the moment because I just saw another hot air balloon mobile (but one made of felt) here: http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/2012/07/hot-air-balloon-baby-mobile.html
Cute! I'm doing a Jules Verne bedroom for my 2 year old nephew. I think I've found the missing link.
