DIY: Easy Team Gifts - Hair Ribbons

Our team doesn’t order team gear until January, so the biggest distinction between the members of the varsity team and members of the freshmen team is the lack of red Marist Crew clothing. The seniors on our team decided to help the freshmen out by making hair bows for them. Although hair ribbons are something usually reserved for volleyball or softball teams, they appreciated it! Here's how to do it:

Ingredients

·         rolls of 2 different colored hair ribbon ($12 at Michaels)
·         fabric paint ($4 at Michaels)
·         elastic hair ties ($3 at Rite Aid)

Procedure
1. Cut hair ribbon to a length that can be tied into a bow. We cut the ribbon to be about 14” long.

2. Write your team acronym or number on hair ribbon in fabric paint.

3. Wait for fabric paint to dry. This usually takes a couple hours.

4. Tie two different colored ribbons onto a hair tie.

5. Tie the ribbons into a bow. 

 6. Give to team members. Smile!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy your food overindulgence and extra sleep. Don't forget to vote for your favorite nail polish name in the Poll section of the blog!
