These medals were made with only a few supplies:
- Cardboard (check your recycling bin!)
- Pasta (macaroni or any other shape you have available!)
- Glitter glue in gold and silver
- Paintbrush (optional)
- Ribbon
Cover your pasta in glitter glue. You can place a pool of glitter glue on a piece of paper or small tray and simply roll the pasta in it with your fingers. If this sounds too messy, kids can also use a paintbrush.
Add some glitter glue to the cardboard circle, then press the pasta onto the cardboard circle. Leave a small space at the top to punch a hole for your ribbon.
Once dry, use a hole punch and make a hole in the top of your medal and add your ribbon.
Wear your medal with pride!
