Tips & Warnings
Photos of soccer balls, soccer games or related action pictures with a soccer ball can be used in place of soccer ball stickers. Make several soccer cards to give as a gift to someone who would appreciate them. Instead of writing soccer slang, write a famous quote about the game of soccer in the center of the card with small soccer ball stickers around it. Soccer ball stickers can be purchased at craft shops or on the Internet.
If children are participating in this project, only adults should handle the paper cutter.
