For inexperienced crafters, DIY cloud projects are a great way to start. Because clouds have no specific form, it is easy to create a stylized shape that is easily recognizable as a cloud. Here are some DIY cloud projects for all levels of experience.
Via 8 Cool Lights and Night-lights ...
I've seen quite a few DIY cloud projects for lights. I like these for a kid's room. Once these are made, hang them with fishing wire so they look like they're floating in the air.
Crafting a DIY cloud pendant light is simpler than it might seem, and it's a delightful addition to any child's room or a whimsical touch to any corner needing a dash of magic. With a combination of polyfill and LED lights, or a repurposed paper lantern, you can create this ethereal decor piece. For a more atmospheric effect, try incorporating a soft, warm-colored bulb to mimic the gentle glow of morning sunshine. Remember to ensure safety, especially in children's rooms, by keeping all electrical components well-encased and out of reach.

Via Kite Mobile, Baby Mobile, Nursery ...
This is for sale on Etsy but it looks simple enough to me. I think how to make it goes like this. Make cloud templates in varying sizes. Cut clouds out. Fold the clouds in half and glue a few together at the creases. When you glue the biggest clouds together, glue the strings in for the "lower" clouds and kites. Fix the lower clouds around the string with the string going through the middle where the creases of the fold meet. Cut out kites and use 2 pieces for each, with the string going through two pieces glued together. All done!
