Materials:
- Plastic wine glasses (bottom stems not needed)
- Pipe cleaners
- Cotton balls
- Pencil
- Scissors
- White tacky glue
- Cardstock
- Scrap foam pieces
Step 1
Start by cutting a piece of foam into a small rectangle about 1/2″ wide and long enough that it fits snugly inside the wine glass about a third of the way up. I used some white foam that I saved from some packaging – if you don’t have any foam on hand, you can use corrugated cardboard instead.
Step 2
Bend pink, yellow, and blue (or whatever three colors you like best!) into arches and poke the ends of each into the foam rectangle to keep them in their nice round rainbow shape. Pull the excess pipe cleaner ends through the bottom of the foam and trim as needed so that they’re secure and only small bits of pipe cleaner are visible on the bottom side. (If you’re using cardboard instead of foam here, you may need to use a craft knife to pre-poke holes before sticking the pipe cleaners in.)
Step 4
Slide the rainbow up into the wine glass dome. It should fit nice and snugly! Do a few test shakes – if it stays put really well, you can leave it as-is, but you can also sneak a few more dabs of white glue (or hot glue if you prefer) onto the cloud base to secure it to the sides of the wine glass.
Step 5
Trace the wine glass onto a piece of blue cardstock and cut out. Apply a super thin line of white glue along the rim of the wine glass and then press onto the cardstock circle to secure in place.
Step 6
To add a little handle to the top, wrap a pipe cleaner (or ribbon or cord) around the top stem of the wine glass and tie a loop. Use glue to secure in place if needed.
