Girl Scout Vest Swaps

These were made from craft foam. Buy a pack of assorted colors – or use those scraps you’ve been saving. Provide some small patterns and a hole punch for those round badges. Use a small piece of felt and drops of glitter glue for the ‘tab’. Dress up with gel pens, markers, and glue together. Great busy project with a neat outcome. Don’t forget to have small safety pins on hand to pin them on their swap hat/vest/bag-strap/etc. via pinterest
