Tips
Plan an
Out-of-This-World
Party!
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Pipe cleaners
Styrofoam ball Fishing line Large sheet of colored plastic wrap Craft foam Glow-in-the-dark stickers Paper clip Poster tack | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: styrofoam | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  For each planet, cut off a 2-inch piece of pipe cleaner.
Bend it in half to form a V, then tie a length of fishing line
around the point of the V. Lay a Styrofoam ball in the center of
a large sheet of colored plastic wrap, gather the wrap around the
ball, then twist it tightly. |
| 2. |  Trim the excess wrap to about 1 inch and lay it flat.
Position the ends of the pipe cleaner on each side of the twisted
wrap, then push them firmly into the ball. For a ringed orb, draw
2 concentric circles on a sheet of craft foam (make the outer
circle 3 inches larger than the ball's diameter, the inner circle
1/4 inch smaller than the diameter). Cut along the lines and fit
the ring over the ball.Decorate your planet with glow-in-the-dark
stickers. |
| 3. | To suspend it, we tied a paper clip to the fishing line, then covered the clip with a wad of poster tack and stuck it to the ceiling. |
