Hanging Moon Phase Decoration - 30 Day Craft Challenge
Salam and welcome to Day 2 of the Ramadan Craft Challenge! As many of you know, I have three little ones at home with me. With this new found inspiration to craft once a day with them, I knew that it had to be easy, cheap, short and sweet! After completing this craft today, my eldest son (6 years old) said, "Mama, I am so proud of myself". That expression brought so much joy to me, knowing that he's learning that he can make amazing things all by himself. I hope you are able to follow along and complete this craft with your little ones. Feel free to leave a comment if you would like me to add more information! You can also leave a comment on Instagram on any of the pictures @WishfulWaufa.
Materials
- Paper Bag
- Golden Wrapping Tissue Paper
- Tape
- Cardstock x 1
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Kitchen Foil Paper (cut into 10cm x 10cm squares)
- Thumbtack to hang the craft on ceiling
Steps
- Trace the different phases of the Moon on the cardstock: New Moon (crescent), Half Moon, Gibbous Moon, and Full Moon. Refer to picture below.
- Cut out the shapes
- Wrap the four shapes in foil, tape if necessary - set aside
- Open up the brown paper bag and flip it upside down
- Cut your tissue paper in half lengthwise
- Tape the tissue around the brown paper bag for full coverage
- Cut slits on the bottom of the tissue all around to give it a floating effect
- Tape one shape of the moon on each side of the craft, the bright foil should be visible
- Optional: Label each of the phases by writing it on the craft
- Add any additional decorations as you please
- Poke a hole from the inside of the paper bag (we used the tip of scissors for this), tie a knot on one side of the ribbon and slide it through the hole.
- Tape the ribbon on the inside of the craft to secure it in place
- Find a place to hang your craft, take a thumbtack and slide the pin through the ribbon
- Attach the pin to the ceiling and watch it float! The craft will rotate as the day goes by.
