Why

Everyone wins with hand-made awards that celebrate personal accomplishments. This art idea really goes the distance!

Steps

1. Who deserves to be honored with a rosette? Here’s a fun way to make unique awards that will be treasured for a long time.
2. Cover your craft area with newspaper. To make a rosette, color a coffee filter with Crayola® Washable Markers. Spritz the filter with water so the colors blend. Spread it out to air-dry.
3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut a construction paper circle for the medal. Cut two long strips for ribbons. Decorate the medal and write the name of your award.
4. Glue the medal in the center of the rosette with a Crayola Glue Stick. Glue paper ribbons to the back of the rosette. You’re ready to present your award!
