If you are rooting for the Broncos in the Super Bowl this Sunday, you'll need something besides your jersey to show your spirit! We've got instructions for two easy crafts you can make so your whole family can cheer on our Orange and Blue!
HOMEMADE POM-POM
What You Need:
- Empty paper towel tube
- Curling ribbon
- Construction paper
- Duct tape (Broncos-themed is widely available)
- Scissors
What You Do:
- Cut two notches across from each other on the top and bottom edges of the paper towel tube.
- Wrap the curling ribbon around the length of the paper towel tube, using the notches in the tube to hold the ribbon in place). Wrap as many times as desired. The more times you wrap the ribbon, the fuller the pom-poms will be.
- When you are happy with the amount of curling ribbon on the tube, cut the ribbon that is between the two top notches.
- Carefully pull the ribbon off the tube while keeping the bottom ribbon held together.
- Wrap the construction paper around the bottom half of the curling ribbon.
- Wrap duck tape around the construction paper.
- Decorate as desired.
ORANGE AND BLUE RICE NOISEMAKER

- Place about five drops of the hand sanitizer into the bottom of a plastic baggie.
- Add five drops of food coloring into the same baggie.
- Squish the hand sanitizer and food coloring to mix.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for each color desired (we recommend orange and blue!).
