How do you make a sandwich board that someone can wear?

Here's how you can make a wearable sandwich board, perfect for advertising, costumes, or just plain fun:

Materials:

* Two pieces of sturdy cardboard: The size will depend on how large you want the board to be. Think of it as the two "sides" of the sandwich board.

* Wooden dowels: These will act as the supports for the board. Two dowels, long enough to reach from your shoulders to your hips (or a little longer if you want it to hang lower) should suffice.

* Fabric or felt: For covering the cardboard and making it look nicer. Choose a fabric that is durable and easy to work with.

* Strong string or ribbon: This will be used to tie the dowels to the cardboard.

* Staple gun: To attach the fabric to the cardboard.

* Scissors: For cutting fabric and cardboard.

* Markers or paint: To write or draw your message on the board.

* Optional: Decorative embellishments: Buttons, glitter, fabric scraps, etc., to personalize the board.

Instructions:

1. Cut the cardboard: Cut your cardboard to the desired size. Consider the height and width you want your wearable board to be.

2. Attach the dowels: Use strong string or ribbon to tie the dowels to the top and bottom of each cardboard piece. The dowels should run vertically along the sides of the cardboard, creating a frame. Make sure the string is tied securely so the dowels won't come loose.

3. Cover the cardboard: Cut fabric or felt slightly larger than the cardboard pieces. Staple the fabric to the back of each cardboard panel. Make sure the fabric is stretched tightly and smooth.

4. Write your message: Use markers or paint to write your message on the fabric-covered cardboard. You can create a design, include images, or simply write your message clearly.

5. Add decorations: (Optional) Embellish the board with buttons, glitter, fabric scraps, or other decorations.

6. Put it on! To wear the board, simply slip the dowels over your shoulders and adjust the straps to fit comfortably.

Tips:

* Use strong cardboard: This will prevent the board from bending or collapsing.

* Make sure the dowels are comfortable: They shouldn't be too heavy or too tight.

* Use a permanent marker or paint: This will ensure your message won't rub off.

* Keep the message simple: You don't want your message to be too long or complicated.

* Get creative! There are endless possibilities for designing and decorating your wearable sandwich board.

Now you're ready to advertise, entertain, or just make a statement with your custom wearable sandwich board!
