This pendant shaped Rainbow It will make your corners have a childish touch. We like to make easy crafts like this and make them look pretty and colorful. It is a pendant made with colored cardboard and that has been complemented with ropes, raindrops and beads. It is a small job that you can do with children and you will love its beautiful result. You can watch our demonstration video so you don't lose any detail of any of its steps.

The materials that I have used are:

  • A4 colored cardstock to match the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple.
  • Light blue cardstock
  • Stapler
  • Cotton pompoms
  • Yellow thread to hang raindrops
  • Decorative yellow rope to hang the structure
  • Large colored beads
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Hot silicone and her gun

You can see this craft step by step in the following video:

First step:

We cut the cardboard to make the rainbow strips. All in principle will have the same length of the measures of A4 and 3 cm wide, then we cut them.

Second step:

We will place on the table the order of the cards By the colors of the rainbow The order will be from top to bottom: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. We do not touch the red strip and we already mark the orange 2,5 cm away from one end. The next one, which is the yellow one, will have 2,5 cm more than the previous one and so on with all the colors.

Third step:

We take all the cardboard strips in order and we join all the ends one-sided. To fix them we staple them. Then we will do the same with the other ends, we will join them and we will staple them to have the fixed structure and in the shape of a rainbow.

Fourth step:

On the light blue cardboard we will draw a raindrop about 3 cm high. We cut it out and use it as a template to make another 8 drops. In total we have to have 9 and all trimmed. Every drop we will fold it in half and we will have to form a whole drop with three drop templates. We will glue each face of the folded part with the face of the other drop. We will form a drop with a total of three drops. But before closing each drop with the three templates we will put a piece of thread that will be the parts that hang from the rainbow

Fifth step:

At the end of each thread we will place a bead and the rest of the thread we are going to place on the base of the purple card. We will have to hang three shapes of thread with their corresponding drops. Will a total of three holes, we put the thread in each one and knot. We place them at different heights so that they fit better.

Step Six:

We place and glue some cottons at the ends of the rainbow to simulate clouds. We prepare a piece of rope that we are going to place at the top of the structure, to hang it.

Seventh step:

Before placing the rope we add three beads to decorate, so that they remain fixed we knot it. We put the rope in the middle of the red strip and also knot it. This is how the structure of the rainbow would look, very simple and original.
