Attach the cloud to the top of the rainbow craft sticks with a glue gun and glue sticks. Use craft foam or cardstock if you don’t have craft felt.
STEP FIVE
Add a face to the cloud by attaching two wiggle eyes with a glue gun and glue sticks. Cut out small circles from pink craft felt and glue to either side of the face. Draw a mouth from cheek to cheek with a permanent black marker.
