2023 was a Bracket Buster year for our family.
By the time we reached the Final Four only one person had a team left in our Bracket but we got together anyway for the Final Four games and presented the winner with a
DIY Bracket Winner Crown.
The crown was easy to make and to get started I hand painted some white card stock.
Once the paint was dry I used a pencil eraser to dab dots of glue all over the paint.
The glue also needed to dry, which did not take as long as I thought it would.
Next I drew a crown, cut it out and then drew the black basketball lines with a permanent marker.
A button from my stash was glued at the top and I punched a few glittery gold stars to add a bit of sparkle. The star shown in the middle front was later removed and the label shown at the top was added there instead.
And last but not least….a Velcro closure in back for custom fitting. We gave the winner a fun basketball game that straps on your head so the crown could be adjusted to fit with or without the hoop on her head. It was fun!
And last but not least,
a homemade Chocolate Bundt Cake with an edible basketball on top
was my dessert contribution.
Our Bracket Party was not quite the same this year, with all but one of the family brackets busted so early, but getting together is always lots of fun!
Happy Tuesday!
