rainy day how to...


rain clouds are everywhere at the moment.. so I thought I would make a colourful version to cheer me up when the sky's are grey... all you need to make these are -
paper...card..scissors..pencil...tape...string...felt...sewing machine


- cut out two cloud shapes in your chosen paper...and then another in card (all same shape)
sandwich the card inside and put a loop of string in the top - centre to hang it with...
sew all three layers together..make sure to over sew the bit where your loop is so it is nice and secure..leave the bottom edge open..


cut out raindrops in felt - 2 of each colour and sew them together adding a length of string at the top...trim the edges so they are nice and neat and when you have made 5 lay your rain drops  underneath your cloud and arrange them at different lengths..washi tape them in place to make sure they don't move..


sew along the bottom edge attaching all 5 strings and raindrops...



and hang up :) ...these could be made from fabric and padded for a cuter look...


or if you are making with children they could be made from papers and glued or taped together...


and they would be super quick so you could make lots :)

hope the clouds are rainbow coloured where ever you are today... if not make some ;) x x x x
