Beaded Rainbows

Wire arches threaded with a mix of op-shop beads, no two the same

Materials

Wooden boards or rounds as the base
Florist wire, 18 gauge (sturdy enough to hold an arch, soft enough for little hands to bend)
Wooden beads with a hole wide enough to thread the wire through, for anchoring each arch
Second-hand beads, the more varied the better
Pony beads
Hot glue gun
Watercolours and brushes for painting the base
Wire cutters
