Supplies for DIY Foam Finger
- Cardstock (your favorite team’s colors)
- Scissors
- Jumbo craft stick
- Glue stick or tacky glue
- Foam finger template
- Glitter, stickers, markers (optional)
- Foam sheets (optional)
- Cricut (optional)
Directions
- First, download and print the free foam finger template. Using heavy cardstock or foam sheets will make the craft more durable. You can also use your Cricut to cut your own foam finger design for a perfect, clean shape. You will need two cut outs of the foam finger.
- Next, carefully cut along the lines of the template. You can help younger children with this step.
- Glue the paper foam finger cut outs together, making sure to leave room at the bottom for the craft stick.
- Finally, glue the jumbo craft stick between the foam finger cut outs at the base. Now your family is ready to cheer on your favorite team!
