My daughter has been in rock star and pop star mode ever since she saw Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s new movie SING. She already loved singing but the movie has brought her creativity and dreams to a whole new level. She now enjoys dressing up in her pretty dresses like her favorite character, Ash, and she loves writing her own songs.
After a few days of her performances I could see that her ensemble was missing a key rock star component…a microphone. A short trip to my local dollar store, 3 easy diy steps later and our glowing rock star microphone craft was born. Now everyone in the family can’t stop singing and dancing.
Supplies Needed to Make This Rock Star Microphone Craft
- small silver flashlight, with batteries
- plastic (hollow) crystal play ball
- hot glue gun
- silver pipe cleaner
- craft jewels
- scissors
Instructions for this Rock Star Glowing Microphone Craft
1. Glue play ball onto flashlight lens
Gather your supplies and heat up your hot glue gun. Add hot glue along the inside rim of the flashlight and a lot right in the middle of the flashlight lens. Then quickly place the ball onto the glue on the flashlight. Hold it down tightly in place for about 15 seconds to let the glue dry.
2. Glue pipe cleaner around the top base of flashlight
Cut your sliver pipe cleaner to a length that fits around the the top base of the flashlight. Hot glue the piece around the top of the flashlight so it hides the crack where you glued the ball onto the flashlight.
3. Decorate microphone with craft jewels
Choose some craft jewels you would like to use to decorate your rock star microphone craft. Use the hot glue gun to attach them to your microphone. Now the awesome glowing rock star microphone craft is all ready for play!
Kids can dress up in fun rock star apparel like a feather boa, shiny glasses, or a leather jacket. Then press the button on the flashlight to turn on the glowing microphone and sing your heart out! This microphone craft would also be fun at family karaoke night. Dim the lights while you sing so your microphone gives you an extra special glow.
Two microphones come in handy when you want to sing a duet with a family member or if you have your adorable dog as your back up singer. Wouldn’t this glowing microphone craft be a perfect touch for a SING-inspired birthday party?!
