Tissue Paper Rainbow Craft
We used to make these tissue paper crafts (or crepe paper crafts) in elementary school. Anyone else remember these? I’ve showed you how to make tissue paper crafts before, so you can check that out (it has a video to get an even better idea).
Materials you will need:
6-7 sheets of gift tissue paper, in colors of the rainbow (like these here)
Free printable rainbow template (at bottom of this post)
scissors
pencil with a good eraser
Cut your gift tissue paper into strips and then into 1-2 inch squares. You can do this quickly by cutting them all at once. The squares do not need to be perfect. A rough square shape works just fine. Be sure to use different colors of tissue paper, obviously the colors of the rainbow will be the best.
Pinch and twist single square of tissue paper around a pencil eraser. Repeat with the other pieces of colored tissue paper.
Apply a dot of glue to the flat end of the twisted pieces of tissue paper and stick them to the rainbow printable.
Pom Pom Rainbow Craft
Pom pom crafts are so quick and easy. I also love how bright and colorful they are. They are easy for little kids to do too.
Materials you will need:
Colored craft pom poms
Free printable rainbow template (at the bottom of this post)
Cotton balls
Apply a dot of glue to each of the pom poms. Place them on the printable template in rainbow order. Apply a dot of glue to each of the cotton balls and place them on the rainbow template as clouds. You can also just draw a line with the glue on the paper and just let the kids place the pom poms on the glue line.
Let it dry thoroughly. Such a beautiful rainbow craft for kids to take home!
