Materials You’ll Need
- A styrofoam ball
- A wooden dowel
Step 1: Prepare the Styrofoam Ball
Start by ensuring that your styrofoam ball is clean and free from any debris. This will provide a smooth surface for painting later on.
Step 2: Paint the Styrofoam Ball
Now it’s time to give your styrofoam ball a vibrant and colorful appearance. Select a paint color of your choice and use a brush to evenly coat the entire surface of the ball. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Create the Comet’s Tail
Take the wooden dowel and cut it to the desired length for your comet’s tail. This will depend on how long you want your comet to appear. Once cut, apply glue to one end of the dowel and attach it to the bottom of the painted styrofoam ball. Ensure that it is securely attached and allow the glue to dry.
Step 4: Add Glitter for a Sparkling Effect
To make your comet star shine and sparkle, add a layer of glitter to the painted surface. Apply a thin layer of glue to the desired areas and sprinkle glitter over them. Gently tap off any excess glitter and allow it to dry fully.
Step 5: Attach a String or Fishing Line
To hang your comets star, take a string or fishing line and tie it securely to the top of the wooden dowel. Ensure the string is of adequate length for your intended display location.
Step 6: Hang and Enjoy!
Your comets star is now complete and ready to be displayed. Find a suitable spot to hang it, such as from a ceiling or in front of a window. Watch as the light catches the glitter and brings your comets star to life!
We hope this step-by-step guide has successfully helped you build your very own comets star. Enjoy the beauty of the cosmos right in the comfort of your own home!
