Baseball Fans
Difficulty: Average
Parental supervision is recommended
Stay super-cool at that next ball game when you make these fun, corrugated plastic baseball fans for kids. A craft for fans young and old!
What you'll need:
- Navy blue corrugated plastic (change this to match your team's colors)
- Gold "Painters" paint marker
- Extremely sharp scissors
- Popsicle stick
- Pen or pencil
- 5" circular item to use for a pattern (try a margarine lid)
- Tacky glue
How to make it:
- Using the circular object for a pattern, trace a circle on the navy blue corrugated plastic. Make the circle about 5" in diameter, although any size will do.
- Cut out the navy blue circle with the extremely sharp scissors.
- Using your sharp scissors, cut up a small way on the inside (be sure the "ribs" are vertical) of the navy blue corrugated plastic to make it easier to insert the Popsicle stick.
- Add tacky glue to the end of the stick and push up inside the baseball.
- Paint "stitching" on the baseball and add your Pack Number. Let dry.
- Take it out to the ballpark, show your Pack spirit, and keep cool!
Note: You can use hot glue if you are wanting the project to dry immediately for the child to use. If using tacky glue, allow to dry overnight.
Tips:
You can also use regular cardboard and paint it if you can't get corrugated plastic, but it won't be as durable.
