- Plastic Table Cloths in your favorite team colors
- Duck Tape
- Scissors
- Tape measure
What You Do:
1. Cut the table cloth in 4 inch wide strips. The length will be determined by how tall your cheerleader is and how long you wish the skirt to be. It can be trimmed to the appropriate size later.
2. Measure the waist of your little one. Now, you'll need some space for this. Lay out the the amount of Duck Tape you will need to go around your cheerleaders waist. (It's ok better to go a little over than under, you can trim if it's too long.) Be sure to lay it down with the sticky side face up.
3. Place the strips of table cloth in the patterns you choose. I had some extra orange strips from our Spirit Sticks, so I threw some of those in there. Cover the entire piece of tape with strips. Place another piece of tape on top to secure it all in place.
7. Turn the skirt over so the stick side of the tape is facing up. Right next to the skirt, cut the tape approximately 1/4" from the bottom and 1/4" from the top. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
8. Fold one edge of the tape to the middle, then finish with the other side. You have now created a ribbon! It's a good idea to reinforce with a bit of tape to that it doesn't tear off with repeated use. Repeat steps 6-8 to create a ribbon on the opposite side.
