You always want your child's room to be very cozy. It can be decorated according to the hobbies of your son or daughter. Moreover, many room decor items can be made with your own hands from simple materials. And even those who are not interested in any type of needlework are able to make the proposed decoration option for a child’s room or for a party. Light airy clouds can become an original decorative solution.
Making simple luminous clouds from cotton wool with your own hands
The most interesting option for designing clouds is to make them on a base with the addition of lighting. They can be made with children or as a surprise for them.
For this craft you will need the following materials: cotton wool, spray glue, a rice paper lampshade, a light bulb or LED strip.
To decorate the lampshade, you need to evenly glue the prepared cotton wool onto its surface; to do this, the material is torn into small pieces and secured with glue. When everything is thoroughly dry, we begin to create the glowing effect.
You can use the lampshade for its intended purpose and simply screw a regular light bulb into it. Or you can carefully glue an LED strip along the inner walls of the workpiece. A ribbon in which the lights change color can give you complete immersion in a fairy tale.
Children are constantly exploring the world around them, which is full of various terms and names. There are a large number of types of clouds, each of which has its own shape and name. To better and faster master the information received, you can use a board game application.
To do this you will need cotton wool, glue, and a cardboard base with photographs of various clouds. First you need to carefully consider the proposed species, then say their names together with your child. After this, you can start making crafts.
The point is to lay it out as closely as possible to look like clouds and glue the cotton wool onto the cardboard. The material is torn off from the main part in small pieces for ease of use.
These clouds can be given a natural appearance. The master class is a fairly simple description.
For this craft you need to stock up on regular balloons, thin paper, glue and cotton wool. We inflate the balloons and tie them in the shape of a cloud. During the process, you can experiment with the size of the inflated balloons. If you fill them with helium, the clouds will turn out to be real - flying.
When the bundle in the form of a cloud is ready, we proceed to the next stage. We take thin prepared paper and PVA glue, which we carefully coat the workpiece with. Then we glue the paper to the balls, tearing it off in pieces, using the papier-mâché technique. This will add strength and integrity to the structure. Let it dry a little.
When the glue is almost dry, you can begin attaching the cotton wool to the paper using glue. Once all the strokes are completed, you get a pretty realistic cloud. It can also be equipped with backlighting if desired.
