Disco Icicle Ornaments Â
You need: A plank of 5mm balsa wood (ours was 1m x 9.15cm) a Stanley knife or blade PVA glue a small paint brush glitter in your fave colours metal ruler cutting mat fishing line and a heavy duty needle (a leather needle would work well!) Let’s go: Using the ruler, blade and a cutting mat, carefully cut your balsa wood into long, triangular icicle shapes. You can make them any size you like. Go slowly and cut with the grain for best results. Once you have cut all your icicles out, paint the lower half of each triangle shape (the point end!) with PVA glue. Quickly sprinkle glitter on the wet glue. (Put loads on and tip the excess of when dry.) Allow to dry. Once dry, push a needle threaded with 20cm of fishing line through the top (non-pointy) end of the icicle. Tie your fishing line in a firm knot and then make a loop with the excess or tie straight on to your Christmas tree. OR: Thread a whole lot onto fishing line to make Disco Icicle Bunting!
