Maybe you already know it, but I hadn't come across it yet, a mobile made of transparent plastic cups! Huh? Think, because they don't look like cups, they're completely flat! Well, that's right, the cups have been in the oven for a minute, and then it becomes flat, hard plastic discs!

For children this is also super fun to do, because you first color the plastic cups with permanent markers, e.g. Sharpies. Put the cups on the head on baking paper on a baking sheet and put them in the middle of the oven (220 degrees). Stick with it, because after 1 minute they have become beautiful flat discs.

That's what they look like when they come out of the oven, cool, huh?

With a wood burner or soldering iron you burn a hole in it, so you can put a wire through it. Then thread the hard coloured plates on fishing wire and tie them to a branch in front of the window, or make a mobile. washi tape around it.
