A model or mobile like no other

Solar system models and mobiles are great ways that you can use a craft to show the details of the solar system. It is fun to do a lot of research to really make your model stand out from all the others. Here is just one example of something that you can do to take your solar system model craft to the next level.

The planet Saturn

Saturn is known for its ring. Why not make sure that your model of Saturn has a ring too. A simple way to add a glimmering ring to Saturn is by first getting a Styrofoam ball and cutting it in half. Between each of the halves place a used or no-longer needed CD. Attach the two halves of the ball back together by using a toothpick that should be placed into the top half of the ball, through the hole in the CD and into the bottom half of the ball. You can paint the Styrofoam ball in whatever color you think is appropriate.

You can continue enhancing your solar system craft in this manner by finding new uses for everyday household items.
