What you will need



How to do it

      1. Print this rainbow template and cut it out, ready to act as your stencil.
      2. Trace the rainbow shape onto your cardboard using a pencil – this example uses 7 rainbows in total but you can mix it up if you like.
      3. Colour in your rainbows using STAEDTLER Triplus Colour Fibre Tip Pens. Experiment with different colour variants to keep your final wall hanging exciting and fun! We recommend using 4 colours per rainbow.

      4. After you’ve finished colouring your rainbows how you like, cut the shapes out from the cardboard.
      5. Make a hole at the top of the rainbow, in the centre of the arch, using your holepunch or punch pliers.

      6. Cut one piece of string for each rainbow you have made, varying the lengths of string for each rainbow.
      7. Attach the rainbows to your coat hanger, threading one end of the string through your rainbow and tying the other end to the coat hanger.
      8. Hang up your new colourful rainbow wall hanging and enjoy!
