A Huge Dose of Roygbv

I made this fun and whimsical piece of ‘art’ for my little punks recent Rainbows & Unicorns birthday party.  It involves the two most important items in a little girls life:  Pom poms and rainbows!  What could be more perfect?

We hung it above the dessert table that was covered in rainbow colored food….it was an overdose of ROYGBV, but she loved every aspect…

I used an old hollow core door that we had laying around (don’t ask), and had hubs cut it down which made the perfect size for the arched goodness, but you could easily use a piece of nice plywood or MDF

Here’s what I did:

• Piece of backing (mine was 38’w x 26’h)
• Pom poms in rainbow colors  (source)
• Mod Podge
• Brush
• White pipe cleaners and hot glue gun (not pictured)

Arrange the outer color (red) in a manner that is pleasing.  (mine was about 4” wide and I used 3 1/2 bags of pom poms)

Pull a handful of the pom poms away from their position and apply a generous amount of mod podge to the area

Place the pom poms back into position and press down firmly.  It will take about 10 minutes before the poms are set.  Continue with all the red poms, gluing and setting  (no need to wait for the glue to set before moving on to the next handful)

Now continue with the next color until you are done…

Now, this next part was an after-thought as I felt it needed something below to spruce it up and what could be better than pipe cleaner clouds  ;)

Just spiral the cleaners and use hot glue to attach them to the board (mod podge did not work great).  Stack the pipe cleaner son top of each other to get a three-dimensional look…

That’s it!
