Make Cheerleading Outfits

Cheerleading teams, no matter how informal or young they are, need outfits. This how-to will help you learn how to make your own!

Steps

  1. Get the whole squad together. Have everyone bring a white t-shirt and a pair of black mini skirts in their size. This project will work better if everyone has similar clothes.
  2. Get materials. Fabric paint, glitter, ribbon, paint brushes, all of that. Try not to go and buy new supplies; just use the materials you already have.
  3. Come up with a basic design, like what you want on the front and back of each shirt. This may include what part they are ( flyer, base, back), your school name or mascot, and your name. You may also want an iron-on transfer or something.
  4. Let everyone use their imagination! Let them use the color/ colors they want. Try to have the whole squad matching. As long as all the stuff you decided to put on the skirt is there, it's all good. They don't have to match perfectly.
  5. Decide whether or not you want to put anything on the skirt. You could put your school name down on the bottom of the leg in paint or something. Be creative!

Tips

  • Be creative, and listen to everyone's ideas.
  • Use your school colors! You could get your school color as a t-shirt, but it's easier to just buy white.

Warnings

  • Some people may be embarrassed if theirs doesn't turn out as well as someone else's. Don't make fun of them!

Things You'll Need

  • Your squad
  • Paint, brushes, glitter, etc.
  • Suitable sewing area
