Here are the instructions for making a baseball or sport gift
1. Decide on a hat
The hat will be the eco-friendly gift basket. You can either customize the hat or purchase their favorite sports team hat.
How do you customize a hat yourself?
- Add stickers
- Place an adhesive stencil of your choice on the hat, add paint, and peel off the stencil
- Iron-on a patch
- Paint or draw on the hat
- Sew something on the hat
2. Create a custom glass as a gift
- I purchased a pint glass and I washed and dried it.
- I wiped the entire glass with rubbing alcohol to make sure it was clean of all fingerprints, oil, and dirt.
- I placed an adhesive stencil onto the glass.
- I painted on Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream. Make sure to place it on thick and avoid brush strokes or they will show up.
- Let sit on the glass for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the etching cream off the glass. I use rubber gloves to protect my hands.
- Dry off the glass
- This glass is permanently etched and can go in the dishwasher.
3. Assemble the baseball gift
- Tip the hat upside down
- Place your glass in the hat
- Surround the glass with the snacks
You’re gift is ready! This gift is great for Father’s Day, Birthday, Holidays, and more!
