Certain crafts are perfect for chearleaders to show team spirit.
Cheerleaders love crafts and gifts that allow them to express their spirit. From outfits and hairstyles to room decorations, cheerleaders want to show enthusiasm for their team. When thinking about the perfect craft for your cheer girl, consider team-themed cheer dolls, poms, pennants and hair bows.
Cheer Doll
Cheerleaders will love receiving or making a mini version of themselves. Simply cut out a cheer doll pattern from MakingFriends.com and paint to match your team colors. The doll's hair can be created with yarn, embroidery thread, doll hair or paper. The team initials can be added to the front of the shirt.
Pom-Pons
This cute craft is a favorite of any girl who is or dreams of being a cheerleader. The craft is easily made by creating a stack of four pieces of tissue paper. Choose colors that match your team. The paper is folded in a back-and-forth, accordion style then the bottom is cut into strips to make the pom. The paper roll needs to be about three inches wide and fourteen inches long. Leave around three inches uncut at the top. The uncut top of the roll will serve as the handle. Secure the top handle together by tying ribbons or using colored tape.
Pennant
Begin this craft by cutting a piece of foam into the shape of a triangle pennant--a short vertical side and two longer horizontal sides ending in a point. Use glue, glitter, stickers and other embellishments to add the cheerleader's name, team name or other spirited saying. Use team colors for extra spirit.
Hair bows
Hair bows are a favorite of any girl, but they are perfect for cheerleaders. Cheerleaders always need a hair bow to keep their hair from falling into their face during performances. Homemade bows allow cheerleaders to personalize their style. Hair bows can be created from a variety of materials. Purchase hair bow clips and decorate with ribbons, buttons and even balloons. Choose team colors and embellishments. The bows can be as big or small as a girl desires. Make a set for the whole squad and the team will look uniformly spirited.
