  1. Take a mug and fill it quarter full with warm water.
  2. Next, squirt a generous amount of washing up liquid or liquid soap into the water, then take the blue paint and mix in two big squeezes. Mix well.
  3. Using a paper straw, blow bubbles into the mug until the paint bubbles come over the edge of the mug.
  4. Print these bubbles onto your watercolour paper by lightly touching the paper onto the bubbles.
  5. Once you have a few sheets, leave them to dry.
  6. Cut out various sized of raindrops using the template making sure you have pairs of each size you will need roughly 14 pairs.
  7. Cut 4 long strands of thread.
  8. Stick the drops onto the tread by sandwiching them either side of the thread with super tacky glue you will fit 3 or 4 on each thread.
  9. Tie the top of each string onto a kitchen roll tube and spread them out evenly.
  10. Then, using the template, cut out a cloud from grey felt and stick this onto a sheet of blank watercolour paper to give it strength.
  11. Stick the cloud onto the carboard tube and let dry.
  12. To finish, add a hanging loop and create a face.
