This DIY sash is perfect for a Russell Halloween costume, an UP themed party costume or decoration, or even just for fun! It was not hard, but took a little bit of time. I found Pixar's Wilderness Explorer badges online and printed had them printed at the copy store onto thick photo paper. I used this tutorial here as my inspiration, but made a few changes.
Supplies:
- Badges (printed onto thick cardstock or photo paper)
- Mod Podge (I used Matte)
- Craft foam
- Scissors
- Foam brush
- Adhesive
- Dark brown felt
- Glue gun
First I had the badges printed at the copy store.
I carefully cut out each badge, then glued it onto a thin strip of craft foam. Using a foam brush, I brushed on a thin layer of Mod Podge to protect the paper badges and make them more durable. Then I cut out each individual badge from the foam. The grape soda badge was a favor left over from an UP birthday party we went to last year. So glad I saved it!
Next I used my son and measured the brown felt, and cut out two long strips. I glued the strips together with the glue gun (yay for no sewing!) to look like a sash. I then glued all of the badges onto the sash, leaving a spot for the grape soda badge of course!
My son begged me to keep the sash, because he loved how it looked. It was pretty easy to put together, too, which is always a plus! So how would you use these cute little badges?
You can check out more photos from the event, including a sky backdrop, UP garland, painted paper mach houses, and lots of balloons!
