Rainbow in the Clouds

By Denise Witmer, About.com Guide

Materials Needed:

  • pony beads: 5 different rainbow colors ~ 3 of each
  • pipe cleaner, any color
  • 2 cotton balls: white
  • glue
  • Flat back pin
  • Tag

Directions:

  1. Twist the end of the pipe cleaner around one pony bead. Then string pony beads on the pipe cleaner. When finished, trim the end so that you can twist it around the last pony bead, so they don't fall off.
  2. Glue cotton balls onto the ends and shape pipe cleaner into an arch.
  3. Hot glue flat back pin on back, in the middle of the arch.
  4. Add the tag to the pin.

Added Tips:

  1. All SWAPS that are going to be traded should have a tag with some information about the giver. First name, troop level and number, and state works well as a rememberence for the receiver and keeps safety issues in mind.
