This week’s craft was inspired by B-Crafty’s nextdoor neighbor’s talented son who was the Notre Dame University marching band head drum major. B-Crafty replicated his hat for this Marching Band favor. You can customize it to match the hats of your favorite marching band.
Issue #38
Occasion: Fall Football Game Tailgates or Pre Game Dinners
Category: Table Favor
Materials Needed:
- Empty paper towel roll (cut into 3 ¾ inch segments)
- Piece of Sherpa (7 inches long X 4 inches wide and a circular piece 2 inches in diameter)
- Feathers or other trims
- Gold sequin
- Piece of white foam core (cut in an oval shape, 2 ½ inches long X 2 inches wide, then cut a hole (the size of the paper towel roll diameter) out of it, leaving a brim on one end)
- Glue and hot glue
Instructions:
- Take a section the paper towel roll and wrap it in with the piece of the white Sherpa and glue it in place.
- Then attach the circular piece of Sherpa to one of the open ends with glue. Trim off any excess.
- With hot glue add the feathers on the side and the feather tip and a sequin on the front.
- Attached the foam core brim to the bottom of the hat.
B-Crafty Tip: These favors can be made to look like your high school or college marching band hats. B-Crafty loves to watch football games and she always sticks around for the halftime show to show her support.
