These sweet rainbows make a lovely decoration or gift!

**What you’ll need**

Rope/Yarn for the rainbow (we used 3 strands doubled up)
Yarn for wrapping rainbow (as many colours as you’d like for your rainbow, we’ve used 3)
Floristry/ bendy wire. (one length for each arch)
Scissors
Needle and thread (eyelet should be big enough to thread your yarn through)

Let’s get started!

You will need three different pieces of rope/ yarn.

For this rainbow we’ve used 3 pieces of thick yarn grouped together

Starting with the smallest arch, lay them down along with the wire.
The wire gives your rainbow the arch shape.
Wrap your yarn around the rope/yarn and wire.
You can tie a knot at the beginning or just hold securely in place.

You can wrap the yarn around the arch however many times you want too, depending on how thick you want your rainbow.
In the picture I have wrapped it three times.

Secure the thread by pulling the end through with the needle as pictured. You have your fist arch.

Measure out your middle arch and repeat the wrapping instructions, and again with the top arch.

Lay all three together in a rainbow shape, you can adjust the shape here before you sew together.

Using your needle and thread and starting at the bottom of one arch, secure the thread with a knot and sew the rainbow together, keeping the arch shape as you go.

Make sure to tie a secure knot at the end
