Instructions for making this Felt Rainbow Pen Topper Craft:

Obviously you can make several of these rainbow cloud pen toppers at once, so if you are going to do that then you will want to cut out several of our clouds and fabric pieces in advance. This is such a fun and easy craft and would be great as a group activity. 

Step one: 
The provided template includes 3 different sizes for the cloud and the pen holding pocket (the square shape). You may select any size of your choice and then trace them on the selected felt fabrics. You can adjust the width of the square according to the pencil size but keep the height as same as the template for each set of clouds. Trace thin strips from different colored felt fabrics for the rainbow. The width and length of the rainbow colored strips would depend on your choice.

Step two: 
Take any one of the felt cloud cutouts and trace eyes and a smiley face on it using a black maker pen. Keep it neat and simple.

Step three: 
Prepare a needle with black thread. Stitch the traced smiley face with the black thread. I did back stitch to trace the smiley face

 on the felt cloud cutout. Once the stitching is complete draw the thread to the back side and tie a knot. Cut off extra thread.

Place the stitched cloud felt on a flat surface with its wrong side facing up. Grab the rainbow felt strips and place them a

long the bottom side of the cloud by overlapping a cm of any one sides with the bottom side of the cloud.

Step seven: 
Grab the other cloud cutout and the square shaped felt cutout. Place the square right on the middle of the cloud, making sure that the square felt fits inside the cloud nicely. Stitch along the top and the 2 sides of the square with the cloud. Keep the bottom side open.
