DIY PUFFY CLOUDS – The Love Notes Blog

We made these clouds to hang up in our classroom while doing a unit on weather. 

I just love them! They’re so puffy & whimsical, & even though they’re rain clouds, 

they made our room look so happy (:

What we used:

• Large paper plate
• Hole puncher
• Glue
• White “fluff”
• Stapler
• Blue streamers
• Scissors
• Fishing line

What we did:

• Punched a hole in the top of our plate so it could hang from the ceiling
• Cut the blue “rain” streamers in different lengths (we actually cut the streamers down the middle too, so they weren’t as thick)
• Stapled the streamers to the bottom edge of our plate
• Glued on LOTS of fluff!
• Hung it with fishing line 

*A trick I learned from another teacher: Hang fishing line from the ceiling in the beginning of the year where you think you will hang decorations. Tie on a paper clip to each line & bend it like this:

This makes it really easy to switch out decorations because you can just hang things on the paperclip. It may not be a big deal in your classroom, but our ceilings were SO high we had to call the maintenance guy anytime we wanted something hung from there! Haha.

Happy cloud-making!
