How to Make Cheer Hair Ribbons
Cheerleading uniforms are adorable no matter the age of the cheerleader. Wearing a uniform creates a sense of unity, team spirit and pride. To pull the look together, try making team hair ribbons. They will look great as the ponytail keeps hair out of the cheerleader's eyes. You can host a ribbon party at the beginning of the season so the girls can get to know one another while having fun making the ribbons for themselves.

Put the cheerleaders hair into a ponytail twisting the hair tie with the ribbon around the hair.

Tips & Warnings
Purchase some "puff paint" at the craft and hobby store in the other school color (example: if your school colors are black and red, buy a red ribbon with black paint or black ribbon with red paint). On the end of the ribbon write with the paint the school name or school mascot to add to the bow.
Avoid using ribbons with sparkle. The sparkles can get into the eyes of the cheerleaders causing irritation. Also, avoid using wire ribbon. Although they are easier to use, the wire can poke through the fabric and can scratch the cheerleader.
