Ribbon Rainbows and Cotton Ball Clouds

Rainbows are taking over the internet!

I love rainbows!

We each created our own cute little cotton ball cloud 

with

a rainbow of ribbons streaming out of it

 Here's how we did it:

First we gathered a few plastic fruit cups, some yarn, and some ribbon

(That ingenious ribbon storage idea was inspired by this pin)

I poked small holes in the top of the cups with a push pin before we started

Set your cups aside and start picking out your ribbon and yarn

I asked the girls to shoot for at least one of each color of the rainbow

Cut the lengths however long you want

I like the look of the varying lengths

When you're done picking out your ribbon and yarn, 

you should have a nice colorful pile smiling back at you!

Lay the ribbons out meeting the ends (of one side) together

Tie the ribbons together with a string

After this step I tied some fishing line around the ribbons as well

I threaded the fishing line through the middle of the ribbon and out the top of the ribbon bundle

then pulled the fishing line through the hole in the plastic fruit cup

and hot glued the fishing line inside the cup 

and 

on top of the cup (after pulling the ribbon all the way inside the cup) 

Here are our plastic fruit cups with their ribbon rainbows glued in

Next, we glued cotton balls all over the outside of the plastic fruit cup

Look at this teamwork!

Here are our ribbon rainbows and cotton ball clouds hanging up!
