Instructions
Cut out two circles of white fabric 1/2" larger in diameter
than cardboard. In well ventilated area, spray mount adhesive to one side
of each circle and lay white fabric on top, smoothing it out. Cut slits
along 1/2" overhang, fold back and glue overhang onto wrong side of cardboard.
Draw 2 half circles on each fabric backed cardboard with black marker,
paint on red "stitches" and letter team name on back of ball.
For suspender
to hold up "baseball" placard, cut four 18" strips of ribbon and four
6" strips of STICKY BACK® tape. Glue down one end of each 18" ribbon
strip to the back of one circle, placing one ribbon on each side of the
top of baseball placard for shoulder straps, and one on each side of the
baseball for underarm straps. Attach four loop halves of the 6" strips
of STICKY BACK® brand tape to other end of the four ribbons and attach
four corresponding hook halves to back of second circle (the back of the
baseball placard). Press hook and loop strips together to secure suspenders
and underarm straps, and adjust to fit the child.
