Make a cascading star mobile from paper stars, a drinking straw, and yarn. When you’re finished, you can hang this cute decoration from the ceiling.

Estimated Time: 45 minutes
Supplies Needed:
  • Thick paper, like cardstock or thick construction paper
  • A printer
  • A drinking straw (one straw for each project)
  • Yarn (about 1 1/2 feet of yarn for each project)
  • Scissors
  • Optional – Paint and markers
  • Optional – Glitter

Instructions

1.

Draw and cut out 6 stars of various sizes from thick paper. For a template of stars, click here.

Poke a tiny hole in the center of each star (this is where you will eventually thread the yarn through them).

2.

Optional: Decorate the stars with paint or markers. Also, glitter is a nice decorative touch. (Work on top of old newspapers to avoid too much of a mess)

3.

Cut a drinking straw into 1 1/2 inch long segments (the exact length is not important). You need 5 segments of straw for each project.

4.

Cut a piece of yarn about 2 feet long. Tie a thick knot at one end of the yarn. Thread the smallest star through the other end of the yarn and push it down to the knot. Then thread a segment of drinking straw – push it down to the small star.

5.

Continue threading stars and straw segments. When the last star (the biggest star) has been threaded onto the yarn, tie a large loop at the end (you will hang your mobile from this loop).
