Give all your birthday party guests a little take home gift with these clown place settings. Kids can easily craft these from a Styrofoam ball and a few other crafting materials.
What you'll need:
- 1" Styrofoam ball
- Tiny red pom pom
- Tiny wiggle eyes, optional
- Markers in black and red
- Felt scrap for hat
- Scissors
- Tacky glue
- 1 or 2 Green chenille stems
- Wire cutters, optional
- Index card or other white stiff paper
How to make it:
- Cut a small circle out of felt. Make a slit towards the middle only going half way across the circle.
- Bend the circle into a cone shape that will fit the clown's head. Glue the cone shape together and on top of the clown.
- Use markers to draw on the eyes and mouth or glue on wiggle eyes.
- Glue on the red pom pom nose.
- Use the green chenille stem to create a body that will sit on your table with arms and legs. You may need to use a second chenille stem. If needed, use the wire cutters to cut off any excess. Please have an adult do this!
- Cut a piece of stiff paper to create the name tag to fit in the clown's hands.
- Write the person's name on the tag and place in the clown's hands.
- Make one for each guest. Let the guest take home their clown at the end of the party.
