Materials:
1 blue sweat suit to fit
two 18-1/2" diameter circles cut from cardboard
fabric glue
red acrylic paint, paint brush
black marker
1 yard heavy weight white cotton fabric
spray mount adhesive
2 yards of 1/2" wide blue grosgrain ribbon
24" strip of
STICKY BACKŪ brand tape
Instructions:
Cut out two circles of white fabric 1/2" larger in diameter
than cardboard. In
well ventilated area, spray mount adhesive to one side of each
circle and lay white fabric on top, smoothing it out. Cut slits
along 1/2" overhang, fold back and glue overhang onto wrong
side of cardboard. Draw 2 half circles on each fabric backed
cardboard with black marker, paint on red "stitches"
and letter team name on back of ball.
For suspender to hold up
"baseball" placard, cut four 18" strips of ribbon and four
6" strips of STICKY BACKŪ tape. Glue down one end of each 18" ribbon
strip to the back of one circle, placing one ribbon on each side of the top of
baseball placard for shoulder straps, and one on each side of the baseball for
underarm straps. Attach four loop halves of the 6" strips of STICKY BACKŪ
brand tape to other end of the four ribbons and attach the other four hook
halves of the tape strips to back of second circle (the back of the baseball
plackard). Press hook and loop strips together to secure suspenders and underarm
straps, and adjust to fit the child.
