Solar System

    
                                                        This is from a few weeks ago, Braydon had a science project to do. He had to make a solar system. And here's the kicker, he only gave us one evenings notice. So this is what we came up with. Our homemade solar system is a cardboard box painted black inside and the planets are 2 cardboard circles that fit together to make it dimensional. And they are just colored and hanging from yarn and paper clips (the only yarn we had was white so we actually painted the yarn black to blend in). We cut a bunch of little stars from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and the astronaut, spaceship, alien, and UFO are all from Everyday Paper Dolls. It's days like these, we are SO glad to have had the cricut! Oh and the sun is just one of those squishy toy balls. Haha.
