pencil for marking
STEPS
- Choose a few different color visors to decorate. Coordinate with clothes or a favorite color.
- Select your foam stickers.
- If you plan to write names, have an adult use or assist with the paint pen for proper use.
- Stick on foam stickers of choice.
- Add glitter glue for a little sparkle.
- Embellish with squeeze paint
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
I marked with a pencil where to put the paint
The girls practiced on an extra piece of foam first and I guided them where to put the dots. Flowers are four or five dots, with one in the middle. Hearts are made
by writing the letter v very small. Squiggles and dots are the easiest to make.
If you choose to add a few items like buttons or sequins, use a craft glue for a secure bond. Don't put too many or it will weigh the visor down.
OTHER IDEAS
Make party visors for the children attending a 4th of July outdoor event. Use foam stars, sequins or paint to decorate. Add a small photo or name to identify who's
visor it is.
Party Favor
Perfect make and take party activity. If you watch for sales you can get it for 2 or 3 for $1.00. Get a variety of colors and let the fun begin.
Or if you are having an outdoor party, you can make decorate ahead of time for each child to wear!
