‘SWAP’ IDEAS

 

FLASHLIGHT

Paint a golf tee black and hot glue a pin backing on one side.  Glue a silver sequin to the top of the tee, and glue a tiny bead to the center of the sequin.

BUST OF A LITTLE PERSON

Paint a small heart (turned up-side down) to look like a girl in a scout uniform – white blouse, green (or brown) vest with dots for badges, and other patches.  Attach a small wooden knob at the point of the heart as a head, and draw on a face.  Hot glue fake curls onto the ‘head’.  Add backing

DOUBLE STARS

Cover one heart with silver glitter; cover another with gold glitter.  Hot glue one on top, but off to one side of the other.  Attach backing.

SONG BOOK

Cut a 2” by 1 ½ “ piece of sturdy poster board.  Fold in half.  The front cover can be decorated with your Troop number, and the year with a musical note placed at the bottom of the page, or some other fun design.  Glue a tiny song verse inside – reduce a regular piece of music to tiny proportions.  Add backing.

CELERATION PIN

Pin together glittery, New Year’s Eve-type tiny decorations.

DUNK BAG

Cut a tiny piece of toile (3” X 2”).  Tie a piece of strong thread to make a bag.  Put a “plate” (poker chip, Barbie plates or what not,) and a “cup” (can be made out of clay).  Add pin.

FOAM DESIGNS

 

 

Cut out any design (flower petal etc.)  Decorate with glitter glue and markers.  Attach a pin backing.

DUTCH OVEN

Hot glue a pin backing onto a black water bottle-size cap.  Hot glue tiny split peas to the inside.  Then glue on a lid made of black ‘fun foam’ – then make a small circle with a ‘handle’ of fun foam glued to the top.

BOW

Hot glue a pin backing onto a small wooden oval.  Die ‘bowtie’ pasta red, blue, or yellow.  Outline bow in black marker and draw a smaller line of gold glitter glue, then put a dot of red glitter glue (on a red bow) in each of the four corners of the bow.

LANTERN

Glue a yellow puffball between a ½” wooden base.  Wrap silver ribbon around the entire ‘lantern’ (top to bottom) with a loop at the top for a handle.  Attach a pin backing.

WOODEN PINS

Break a Popsicle stick in half.  Paint a bright color.  Glue a small red heart cut from foam about ½” from one end of the stick.  Write “I” before the heart shape, and then after the heart shape write “Troop XXX”.  Attach a pin backing.

POT OF GOLD

Glue a pin backing to a small wooden circle.  Cut out the shape of a kettle (U-Shape) from black fun foam and glue it to the circle.  Use gold glitter glue as the ‘gold’ in the pot.
