Team Water Bottles

Team Water Bottles
School Spirit water bottles are a great item to make for your daughter’s cheerleading, soccer, or cross country team(just to name a few). This project could also be a fun team building activity. Below are some decoration ideas for team water bottles. Have fun decorating!
An easy way to decorate a water bottle is to add a bow to the handle:
It's so simple and cute!
Or you can glue some ribbon around the bottle and add a bow or embellishment. You could also paint the team or players name on the bottle.
Go Team!
Here’s some cute school spirit water bottles that I found on Etsy:

Paw Print Clippie

Paw Print Clippie
This clip would be cute on a headband, on a shirt, or by itself as a clippie. Let’s get started!
Supplies:
- Lined alligator clip
- 3/8″ ribbon
- Hot glue gun
Directions:
1. You will need 4-2″ pieces of ribbon and 1-4″ piece of ribbon to make your paw print.
2. Glue all of your strips into circles.
3. Glue your small circles to the top of the big circle to make your paw print.
4. Line the edges of your paw print with hot glue and secure it to a lined alligator clip. Click here for step by step instructions on how to line an alligator clip. I used a different color to line my alligator clip to add some contrast, but it would also look nice for the alligator clip and paw print to be the same color.
Enjoy your new clippie!

Pom Pom Pens
September 11, 2012 in DIY, Inspiration, Kid friendly, Tutorial
Pom Pom Pens
Over the next couple weeks I will be featuring tutorials on School Spirit themed crafts. With the start of school and football season, these are the perfect crafts for this time of year. Any of the featured crafts would be great for a team building activity or even to sell for a fundraiser. The first craft we will make is a Pom Pom Pen.
Supplies:
- Pen
- 1/4″ or 3/8″ ribbon
- Double sided tape
Directions:
1. Cut your ribbon into 4″-5″ strips. I used ten strips of ribbon for each pen(5 of each color). Heat seal both ends of your ribbon.
2. Cut a piece of double sided tape. I used a 3 inch piece for my 10 pieces of 1/4″ ribbon. Stick the one edge of each of your ribbon strips to the double sided tape leaving a little extra on each end.
3. Begin to peel the tape off of the paper backing.
4. Attach the ribbon/tape strip to the pen so that the tape is touching the pen, not the ribbon.
5. Wrap the ribbon all the way around the end of the pen.
6. Get a 1″-1.5″ inch piece of one of your ribbons. Apply double sided tape to the back and wrap it around the pen to conceal the “raw” edges of the pom pom.
Now you are ready to write in style with your new pen. Have fun making a Pom Pom Pen to match your favorite team!
