Peg's Shape Chandelier

Add some math fun to your Peg + Cat party decorations with this shape chandelier.
Materials
Directions
Gather your supplies.

Print and cut out the geometric shapes. You may want to print more than one of each. Fold along the lines.

Cut several pieces of yarn, one per shape. Glue the end of a piece of yarn to an inside fold on each of the shapes.

Work around each shape, gluing the tabs inside the shape until the shape is a 3-D form.

Cut six pieces of yarn, each 2 feet long.

Tie 3 pieces of the yarn spaced evenly around the medium embroidery hoop, then lift them over the embroidery hoop and tie a knot at the top. The three strings should be the same length to the knot so the chandelier hangs evenly; if the lengths are not equal, the chandelier will hang crookedly.


Tie one end each of the other 3 pieces of yarn on the large embroidery hoop, then tie the other ends to the smaller hoop, trimming off the excess yarn to create a chandelier.

Tie the shapes along the two embroidery hoops, spreading them around until the chandelier is full of 3-D shapes.

Cut out the printable Peg + Cat characters and glue them to the outside rings of the embroidery hoops.

Hang the chandelier over the party table for a math-tastic good time.
