Directions
Start by deciding how many cloud formations you want and gather embroidery hoops of various sizes for each cloud.
If desired, spray paint the embroidery hoops white for a seamless look.
Take the cotton balls and gently pull them apart to create fluffy, cloud-like textures.
Using the hot glue gun, attach the stretched cotton balls to the embroidery hoop, covering it completely. Layer the cotton to achieve the desired fullness.
For a more dynamic cloud shape, layer different sizes of hoops by gluing smaller ones onto larger ones.
Once your clouds are assembled, use fishing line or clear thread to hang them on the wall or from the ceiling.
Arrange your clouds at different heights and distances to create a natural, floating effect.

Variations & Tips
For a colorful twist, consider dyeing the cotton balls in pastel colors before attaching them to the hoops, creating a sunset or sunrise effect. You can also incorporate LED string lights within the clouds for an enchanting, glowing effect at night. To add texture, mix in pieces of white felt or wool roving with the cotton. If you’re looking for a more interactive design, hang the clouds from the ceiling with raindrop cutouts or crystal beads attached to create a rain effect.
