Rainbow · cutout icons

Isaac Newton discovered in 1667 that light is composed of these seven colours. Gilbert Baker turned them into a flag three centuries later, in the 1960s, for the hippie movement. It nowadays represents the LGBTQ+ movement, and it’s still one of the first things we all learn to draw as children. What else can you ask from a rainbow? To be able to make it with your own hands, obviously.

Assembling

Set aside some time; it’s worth it.

Suitable glues:

• Liquid glue
• Liquid silicone (it dries more slowly, giving room to adjust the attachment points properly)
• Double-sided tapes for crafts (for skilled hands. It’s clean but allows only one chance)
• Or a combination of all of the above!

Be precise with the quantities. Use glues with small dispensers or a thin glue stick.

Have alcohol at hand. If it’s the kind you find in the pharmacy, your fingers will appreciate it. It may become a fun but challenging activity if it’s the drinking kind.
