Hello and welcome my magical friends!! We are making something REALLY COOL for this weeks Make and Take Demo— MAGICAL MOON MOBILES!!!! Complete with stars, sparkles, and ribbon tendrils!
Follow along and watch us create a Magical Moon Mobile below:
We’ll start with this AMAZING sparkletastic paper to trace and cut our crescent moon out of!!
You can vary the thickness of your crescent moon by adjusting the template! Any size moon that makes you happiest is Perfect!!
Let’s grab our thick wire and curve it to be circular! This will act as the ‘other side’ of the moon!!
We’ll attach both sides of the moon to the wire so that it continues the circle! This will let us have a place to hang our mobile!!
Now we can punch out a variety of stars and circles!! Tiny stars and big stars! They’re all magical!!
Try cutting a few stars by hand to get an extra whimsical look!!
Let’s learn how to make a 3D Star!!
Start by taking a square paper!
Fold it along both diagonal and center folds!
Cut most of the way up the 4 center folds- not all the way!!
Fold the triangles together to form a point! Hold each with a bit of glue!
Repeat for all 4 sides and Taa-Daa a 3D star is born!!
Let’s combine all of our magical elements to create our Moon Mobile!! Using fishing line, we can dangle star clusters and create a loop to hang our mobile from!
Create a color scheme of ribbons to add another element of magic!!
You can create as detailed or simple of a mobile that you like~
I really enjoyed adding different color and size stars overlapping!!
I tried an experiment of hanging some stars off of a ribbon dangle!!
What would you do differently? It’s fun to play around!
Thanks for creating with us today!! Your Magical Moon Mobile is as unique as you are!!
This craft will be at our Make-and-Take station All week!! You can always create something magical like this, just ask for our advice if you’d like to create this any time!!
We’ll see you soon!
