Team Mama Idea: Decorate Your Athlete's Locker for Senior Night!

Happy Tuesday, Sports Mamas! I hope you all are well. I just wanted to jump on quickly and share this fun idea. There's no tutorial as it's pretty self explanatory.

You guessed it! LOCKER DECORATIONS! Many schools have this tradition. Moms make their athlete a poster and get together the evening before Senior Night and decorate the locker room. Here are some creative ideas from some of the awesome moms in the Confessions of a Sports Mama Facebook Group!

As you can see the possibilities are endless! You can simply hang a poster. Or you can go all out and hang streamers, balloons, and include gifts as well. 

You don't have to be a Football Mama to do this. It can be done for any sport that uses a locker room; soccer, volleyball, basketball, etc. 

Can't wait until Senior Night? Do it for Homecoming!

I hope this posts inspires you. For even more inspiration be sure to join myself and the 3,000+ REAL sports mamas, just like yourself in our Facebook Group!

Team Mama Idea: Personalized Team Spirit Pin WITH PHOTO!

Our home opener is in two days! Being that this is No. 1's Senior season, my football mama BFF's and I are going ALL OUT. We got together for a craft night and made Fatheads (click HERE for a step by step tutorial) and these awesome photo pins!

I just love how they turned out! Don't you?! They are perfect for Homecoming, Senior Night, or any time you feel like showing a little (or a lot) of team spirit. Want to make one yourself? Then just keep on reading. I got you covered, Mama!

What you'll need:

• Cardstock
• Ribbon (you can use as many or as few different colors/patterns as you prefer)
• Photo 
• Pin backs
• Letter and numbers (we used glitter HTV, but you could buy stickers or even write them on)
• Laminating sheets (optional)
• Hot glue
• Scissors

What you do:

• Cut your cardstock into circles. You can use decorative edge scissors, if you'd like.

• Cut out your photo. We used a cup to achieve a perfect circle.

• Laminate your photo. This is not necessary, however, it will help serve as an extra layer of protection! 

• Cut the photo out and hot glue it to the cardstock.

• Arrange and cut the ribbons to your liking. Once you've done that, hot glue them together.

• Hot glue the cardstock onto the front and a pin back onto the back. That's it!

You can also take a break (or several!) and enjoy some yummy grazing food and a cocktail if you'd like. 

YES, PLEASE!

Here's how our fatheads turned out. We used the same photo for both these and the pins.

They are always so fun to make and even more fun to see in the stands! GO SPARTANS!!!

UPDATE- WE WON!!!!!

Team Mama Idea: Personalized Football Pins

Homecoming 2019 is in the books! Spirit days, the parade, the big game (and big win!), and the ever so famous dance, of course!


A bunch of us mamas got together a few days before game day and crafted our little hearts away. We made new fatheads (click HERE for step-by-step instructions) and these super cute, football pins!

We personalized the pins with our players' names and numbers. Seriously, how cute are they?! Want to make one (or a bunch!) yourself? Then just keep on reading!




What you'll need:

• Foam footballs (can be found at your local craft store or on Amazon)
• Ribbon in your team colors. (We used 4 different prints; solid orange, blue and white polka dots, football patterned, and blue glitter)
• Pin backs
• Letter/number stickers or vinyl if you prefer using a Silhouette or Cricut
• Hot glue
• Scissors

What you do:

• Attach the name and number to the football.

• Cut the ribbons to the same length (we burned the ends with a lighter to help them from fraying). Arrange them in a similar fashion as pictured below.

• Hot glue the ribbons and pin back to the back of the football.



• When you flip it over it should look something like this. Let them dry overnight before wearing.

That's it! Super easy and super cute!

We made them for Homecoming, but they'd be just as perfect for Senior Night! You could even tailor it to your sport by simply switching out the football. The possibilities are endless!
