How to Make a Popsicle Stick Rainbow Cloud

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Round up your supplies: six popsicle sticks, a rainbow of acrylic paints, a paintbrush, glue, scissors, white paper, and a black marker.

Step 2: Paint the Sticks

Paint each stick a different color of the rainbow – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Let them dry completely.

Step 3: Glue the Sticks Together

Line up the sticks in rainbow order and glue them side by side.

Step 4: Cut the Cloud and Eyes

Cut a puffy cloud shape out of white paper, along with two white circles for the eyes.

Step 5: Attach the Cloud

Glue the cloud over the tops of the rainbow sticks so it looks like the colors are dripping down from it.

Step 6: Add the Face

Add the eyes to the cloud and draw on cute little pupils with your marker. Add a smile, lashes, or whatever happy face your heart desires.

All done!

Your happy rainbow cloud is ready to brighten someone’s day!
