This is a tutorial showing you how to make a solar system diorama using the popular Floracraft solar system kit. I show you how to take it to another level and make it spectacular.
In this video I also show you how to paint the planets so they look terrific.
And as a bonus I give you informational sheets on the planets that you can download and print for your project.
This tutorial includes a guide to painting the planets so they look great.
This solar system kit is readily available at Walmart, Michaels, Joann and other places that sell arts & crafts supplies. You can also order it online. I have an amazon link for it down below.
The planet painting guide starts at: 5:41 in the video.
