Painted Cheer Cowbells for Homecoming
Show your team spirit and save your voice! Many cheer sections at ball games have noise makers. Any type of noise maker to let your team know you are proud of them. 
These cow bells are a quick easy craft to do that you can personalize to what ever event. Get a cow bell of any size. You can find them at most craft stores. Paint it with school colors, personalize with the team name and add ribbon to the top. You can add wide ribbon and use it as a handle. Or you can use thin ribbon and curling ribbon to make lots of curly streamers to hang down. Have fun and cheer your team on! This could also be a neat craft for a fundraiser. Parents groups or Cheer committees can make these and sell them at the doors of the ball games and use the money for field trips, athletic equipment, or help needy kids go to camp.
There are several ways to make bracelets for many occasions. The picture is of a child’s summer bracelet but when you add your school colors and charms it will be your own. But this is an excellent photo to show how to tie on the charms and one way to finish off the ends.
Here are a couple of ways to make some crazy jewelry to wear for pep sessions at school sporting events, and to wear as part of your crazy clothing accessories that the students and fans wear to show school team spirit.
Choose 3 ten inch pieces of grosgrain or satin ribbon in school colors. Join the three pieces by tying a knot in the end. You can then add sports themed charms, letters that spell the school name or your favorite player number, and anything you can imagine. Braid the three ribbons, working in the accessories you added and simply tie it in a knot around your wrist.
You can also attach jewelry clasps or a metal hook-and-eye clasp for jewelry making, available at crafts stores.
1.. Hold the ribbons from their ends and spread out across your work surface. Tie the end you’re holding in a knot.
2.. Begin braiding the ribbons as you would hair. As you go, string your
buttons, beads, and charms on to the ribbon so that they are worked into the
braid.
3.. Stop braiding when the braided part of the ribbons is approximately 5
inches (18 centimeters) long; this is based on my fairly average wrist size,
but you might have to braid more or less depending on your wrist size. Tie
off the loose ends in a knot.
4.. String one part of your hook-and-eye clasp on to a single ribbon end
hanging out of this knot. Tie this ribbon end and one other together to
secure the clasp. Repeat with the other part of the clasp on the other end of the bracelet. Have Fun!
Many schools have special sections of the bleachers for students to sit together all decked out with school pride colors and crazy stuff. This craft is one idea you can use to add to your wardrobe. Decorate plain white gym shoes. Use marker, buttons, grosgrain ribbon, fabric scraps, buttons, iron-on decals, school color shoe laces, doodle your mascot on them, 
write the name of your favorite player, or their number, tie narrow strips of fabric through all the lace holes and leave them long and poofy like pom poms. The possibilities are endless. No matter what the age of the the sports enthusiastic fan, any shoe can be customized with a little bit of imagination. I love the ribbon shoe laces in these sweet shoes. Have fun!
Display all your team spirit with craft projects that celebrate your school’s colors, name or mascot.
You can easily make ribbons like these with spools of single faced satin ribbon, glitter paints, gel pens, stickers, tube paints with writing tips, and anything else you can imagine.

A few ideas might be to use several ribbons attached to a stick for waving, or with a button or bow or just one ribbon with a pin to wear on a jacket.
Proudly wear or wave your spirit ribbons at football games or pep rallies or any school activity to encourage your team.
