Time for another B-Crafty twist on a Team Trivia Theme: Movie Night. B-Crafty makes it her own by calling it “Movie Knight” complete with life-size popcorn and knight costumes for the participants.
Issue #72
Occasion: Team Trivia Themes
Category: Table Decoration
Materials Needed:
- Large cardboard box
- Red and white acrylic paint
- Small yellow, white and beige balloons (25 of each)
- Poster board for signage and markers
- 18” x 30” piece of gray felt for each trivia participant
- Red, white and black felt for the emblems on the front of the knights’ costumes
- Poster board and markers
Instructions:
- Paint the cardboard box with red and white stripes
- Blow up the balloons
- Fill the bottom of the carton with tissue paper to fill it ¾ of the way.
- Blow up the balloons and twist them together in bunches of 2 to 5 balloons.
- Pile some of the balloon bunches on top of the tissue paper up to the top edge of the box.
- Once that is complete, begin to twist the bunches together to form a cluster that appears to be cascading over the side of the box. (use double sided tape or gummy wads to affix the balloons to the side of the box) Do NOT use hot glue
- Cut a hole in the middle of the gray felt to go over each participant’s head (once placed over the head, trim the length to hit the upper thigh)
- Cut out the white felt shield, the black felt outline and the red felt cross for each participant and glue to the front of the gray piece
- Fasten the sides close with either a strip of felt or a piece of Velcro
- Prepare the table sign with the poster board and markers
B-Crafty Tip: The knight costumes will look more like costumes if all the participants wear the same thing underneath the gray tunics.
B-Crafty’s table participants were asked to wear long sleeve black turtle-necks and black pants.
