Instructions
Use metal snips to clip the bottom off of a white metal hanger.
You just want to leave the hanging part at the top, with a small section of wire on either side to use as support for your rainbow later on.
raw a rainbow shape on a piece of cardboard.
Make it as big as you like, but make sure that it is big enough so that your wire hanger does not stick out from behind it.
Cut out the rainbow shape.
Cover the front of the rainbo cardstock shape with a layer of cloud shaped glue.
Press cotton balls onto the front of the card stock to cover the glue.
There should be four cotton balls in each row.
Let the cotton ball rainbow sit and dry once you have layered them all on.
Once the glue had dried, use a paintbrush to paint in each row a different colour.
Use the colours yellow, green, red and blue.
When the paint has dried, glue the piece of cut cloud to the back of your rainbow so that the hanger part sticks up above the centre of the rainbow.
Cut pieces of red, yellow and blue ribbon..
You will need two pieces of ribbon of each color.
Glue one ribbon of each color to the back of the cotton ball rainbow, below its coordinating colour of cotton balls.
Now you’re done. Hang your cotton ball ribbon rainbow and enjoy!
