Make Your Own Rainbow

Without the rain, there would be no rainbows.  Here, in the Midwest, we are still "enjoying" snow.  Of course, without the rain, you could still make your own rainbow, right?


Grab your Roy G Biv in card stock and a sheet of white as well.


You'll need a few more supplies:


Out of the white card stock, cut a cloud shape.  Cut strips out of the colored card stock.  Grab some glue, cotton balls and let's get started making rainbows.

I used tape to attach the rays of the rainbow to the back of the cloud.


Of course, after I turned my cloud around, I realized my Roy G Biv was going the wrong way.

Moving on...

Cover the front of your cloud with an even layer of glue.


Then start to make it fluffy by adding some cotton balls.


Just like that, rain or no rain, you can have your very own rainbow.


 Have extra cotton balls?  Don't worry, I have another cotton ball craft you can check out.

    got plenty of cotton balls...when I cleared out our linen closet, I found several packs (all open)...all I am saying is that there will be 3 BIG cotton bunny tails soon.

    Had to resubmit my comment because of a glaring spelling error that was making my eye twitch.

    Anyways... just wanted to say that I love this craft! My eldest would be thrilled to use all of that fabulous white glue and the cotton balls. She's already working on memorizing Roy G. Biv when she colours her rainbows.

    Now tell me more about that bird in the picture...
