Felt Kawaii Rainbow Craft – Instructions:
STEP ONE
Download, print and cut out Rainbow shapes from the Pattern Sheet. The sheet is free when you subscribe to our newsletter below. Trace the pattern onto colored craft felt with a permanent marker. Plan out your colors beforehand to get the correct sizes or just do them randomly. The rainbow in order is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (violet).
Cut out with scissors, inside the lines, so you have a clean-finished project. Experiment with colors and have fun.
STEP TWO
Layer the rainbow shape cutouts from largest to smallest. Use the glue gun to glue the layers together starting with the largest one.
STEP THREE
Cut small rectangles and then squares from light pink craft felt. Cut the squares into circles for the Rainbow’s cheeks and then attach with the glue gun.
STEP FOUR
Attach googly eyes with the glue gun and glue sticks to the top center of the rainbow. Place them right beside each other. Create a wide and shallow smile from cheek to cheek with a length of Baker’s Twine, string, or yarn. You could also just draw the smile on with the permanent marker.
STEP FIVE
Flip rainbows over and attach a pin back, magnet or Baker’s twine hanger to the back of each with the glue gun and glue sticks.
