'Cheer Sticks' College Football Kids Craft

We made these cheer sticks with our friends' kids to wave and cheer on the Gophers a couple of weeks ago! It was hard to find College football crafts, so I wanted to share!

Supplies Needed:

2-Small Paper Plates, themed if possible

Ribbon, cut into pieces about 8-12" Long

Paint Stick

Tape

Football Embellishments if desired

Here are the Gopher dessert plates I used, which came in a party pack from Costco

Maroon and Gold ribbon, and some special Gopher ribbon I found at Michael's!

 I thought these felt football embellishments would also be fun, and I knew I'd use the other sports for other projects.

To make, tape the ribbons to the backside of a plate. Tape the paint stick to the back of the plate, then another plate on top! Here is a side view to see how it's held together:

The Gift of Creativity

 

For my nephew's birthday this year I sent him a big box of art supplies!  I hope he likes it, I know I did when I was little!

Here's the loot:

 I included a note with some ideas of things to make to get him started.

All boxed up and ready to go!
