School Pride Bracelets

After seeing this post by Mich L in LA, I was inspired to make a bracelet out of a tennis ball.  Michelle’s bracelets are pretty, mine are sporty.

I cut a tennis ball into two pieces by using a utility knife to cut on the curved lines printed on the ball.  This is not easy and if you try it, be really careful.  I then skinned the ball by removing the thick rubber glued to the inside of the ball.  This was a tedious process!  I then painted the two pieces and stenciled on my school’s initials.


I lined the inside of the bracelet with felt and glued on velcro so that the two pieces would form a bracelet.



The high school team in the county where I work are the “Lancers,” so I made a Lancer bracelet as well.  I gave this to one of the high school cheerleaders.


I lined this one in black.


I made two MMS bracelets so that my friend Beth and I could wear them for the first football game last Thursday. 

I very rarely wear jeans to work, but it was for a good cause as teachers who wore jeans donated money to a local family who had three children in a terrible car accident last spring.

The kids loved our school pride bracelets and I had fun creating them.
