Top Tip
The felt balls should stay in place on the thread, but if they are sliding, just tie a knot underneath each on to hold it in place.
How to Make
- Cut a large cloud shape from a sheet of white card.
- Then cut a sun shape from a yellow sheet of card and stick it to the back of the cloud on one side using double sided tape.
- To make the rainbow, cut a semi circle shape from a red sheet of card, about 12cm wide.
- Place this red shape onto a yellow sheet of card and trace around it with a pencil, then use the pencil to re-draw the curved line about 1cm from the edge, to make a slightly smaller semi circle, and cut it out.
- Repeat this again by placing the yellow semi circle onto green card, and the green semi circle onto purple card.
- When you place the semi circles on top of each other they should make a rainbow. Stick them all together using double sided tape.
- Stick the rainbow to the back of the cloud, on the opposite side to the sun, using double sided tape.
- Cut four pieces of embroidery thread approximately 30cm long.
- Thread a plastic needle onto the end of one and thread four coloured felt balls onto it.
- Tie a knot in the end to prevent the balls from falling off.
- Repeat this step three more times, using different amounts of felt balls. Stick these to the bottom of the back of the cloud using tape.
- To finish, stick a loop of thread to the top of the cloud to hang the mobile from.
