How to Make a Cheerleading Uniform

A cheerleading squad needs coordinating uniforms to show their unity with each other and with the team that they are cheering for. Ordering professionally made uniforms can be quite costly, and sometimes a squad doesn't have the budget for new professionally made uniforms. Luckily, cheerleading uniforms can be made for considerably less money and without much difficulty.

Things You'll Need

• Sewing machine
• Pleated solid-colored tennis skirt
• Trim in team colors
• Form-fitting solid-colored tank top
• Felt iron-on letters for team initials
• Iron
• 12-inch ribbons in team colors
• Team color shoelaces

Instructions

How to Make a Cheerleading Uniform

1. Sew the trim along the bottom of the tennis skirt in two parallel lines. Also sew the trim along the top of the skirt and in a "V" in the middle of the tank top.

2. Iron on the felt letters just above the V on the tank top and then stitch around their edges to secure them.

3. Tie the length of ribbons around your ponytail.

4. Lace your shoes with team color shoelaces instead of having everyone purchase matching shoes.
