painted leaves and stick mobile
before we left for wv, Lily and i made a painted leaves and stick mobile to take to her room there
it came out really great if i can say so myself and so i would like to share it with you
it’s so simple and you mostly just need nature treasures
happy ARTsy wednesday everyone!
we are off to hang out in our old neighborhood and see some old friends
here’s what you will need:
twine (string/yarn of some kind), scissors, paint, leaves and a stick
first step:
have fun in your yard picking leaves (try to get the cleaner ones)
don’t let your kid eat them
second step:
paint the leaves. we used squeezable sparkly paint
third step:
paint the stick
forth step:
let leaves and stick dry (we let it dry overnight)
fifth step:
tie a long piece of twine/string to both ends of the stick so you can later hang it
using your good eye, tie long pieces of twine/string on the stick
each section should have two strings
tie leaves unevenly on both sides and do the same for the other sections
and voila!
