Need a fun and easy project to keep the kids busy during the game? Have them make these fun team spirit pins for all your guests! Make them for every sport by changing the shape and using different color foam.
What you'll need:
- Brown craft foam
- Scissors
- Glitter glue OR white glue and glitter
- Pin backs
- Hot glue gun OR white craft glue
How to make it:
- From brown craft foam, cut out enough footballs so that there is one for each guest. If it's baseball season, use white foam and cut circles or brown foam and cut out bats-you get the idea!
- Using glitter glue, write team names on the footballs or decorate it to look like a football by adding stitches and a border. If you don't have glitter glue, use white craft glue then completely cover the glue with glitter. Allow to dry, then tap off excess glitter.
- After the pins are completely dry, use white craft glue or a hot glue gun to attach pin backs.
Tips:
- Use colored glitter or glitter glue that matches your team colors. Blue and orange for Chicago Bears, black and yellow for Pittsburgh Steelers and so on.
- Some team names can be really long. In this case, use decorate with the team's colors instead of writing out the name.
- Purchase craft foam at craft supply stores. You can buy a large sheet for only 99 cents.
