Some Where Over The Rainbow Craft:
Materials:
-Colored construction paper or card stock (red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange)
-Black paper or felt
-White paper
-Cotton balls
-Pipe Cleaner/String
-Scissors
-Glue
-Stapler
-Hole punch
-Gold glitter

What to do:
1) Cut strips of colored paper about 1 1/2" wide x 11". Stack the colored strips (in ROY G. BIV order) and staple them together at one end. On the un-stapled end, cut the orange strip 1" shorter than the red and continue this pattern with the remaining colors (see photo for example). You should end up with a staircase effect. Gather the un-stapled ends so they are lined up and staple together. This will make your rainbow.
2) Cut 4 cloud shapes out of the white paper. On each end of the rainbow glue 2 clouds - 1 on the outside of the rainbow and 1 on the inside of the rainbow.
3) Glue cotton balls on all the white paper clouds. Make sure you pull apart the cotton balls so they are fluffier.
4) Cut a cauldron shape out of the black paper or felt.
5) Cut one or more yellow semicircles for the coins. Sprinkle with some gold glitter to add some bling. Then glue them onto the top cauldron so they are poking out a little.
6) Glue the cauldron onto one of the clouds on the outside of the rainbow.
7) Punch a hole in the middle of each color strip. Feed a pipe cleaner/string through the holes and tie a night under the rainbow. (my photos are slightly different for this step because for one of the rainbows I hole punched it during step 1, but hole punching at this step works better).
8) Display your beautiful rainbow in the window for all to see!






Mixed Media Rainbow Craft:
Materials:
-White cardstock paper
-Watercolors
-Cotton balls
-Salt
-White glue

What to do:
1) Draw a rainbow using the white glue. Allow to fully dry.
2) Using watercolors, color in the rainbow (in ROY G. BIV order).
3) While the watercolor is still wet (note if it has already dried simply apply more water over top of the colors) sprinkle with the salt. The salt just adds another medium and texture.
4) Add cotton ball clouds to the bottom of the rainbow Make sure you pull apart the cotton balls so they are fluffier.
5) Hang the picture in a window and watch the sun make your rainbow shine.
