Materials

  • One red kids top
  • One red kids bottom
  • White felt

  • Double sided fabric tape

Instructions

  • Create the color block top:
    • Trace the top of the tank top onto white felt and cut it out.
    • Using the white felt piece as a template, cut a piece of blue felt for the top left and the far right side.
    • Hot glue the blue pieces of felt to the white piece of felt.
    • Attach the color block felt to the top front of the tank using double sided fabric tape.
  • Create the medal:
    • Cut two 3 inch by 11 inch stripes of metallic cardstock.
    • Tape two short ends together to create a 22 inch by 3 inch long piece of card stock.
    • Accordion fold the 22 inch piece of card stock, folding about every 1/4 inch.
    • Fan out the accordion folded card stock and tape the two ends together to create the back of the medal.
    • Cut two small circles from blue felt. 
    • Hot glue one circle to the front of medal and one to the back.
    • Cut a length of blue ribbon and hot glue the two ends to the back of the medal.
