Bike Streamers & Plates
Give your bike a personal touch. With these decorations, your handlebars and seat stand out whenever you ride!
1. Come up with a clever name plate for your bike. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and maybe a code name or nickname. On construction paper, draw a rectangle with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils about as wide as your bike seat. Design your name plate with Crayola Classic Fine Line Markers. Color it using Crayola Gel Markers. Add sparkles with Crayola Glitter Glue. Dry.
2. Cut out your name plate with Crayola Scissors. Trace around it on cardboard. Cut it out. Glue the paper plate onto the cardboard with Crayola School Glue. Dry.
3. With a hole punch, make two holes in the plate. Run a chenille stick through them. Attach to your bike. To Make Handlebar Decorations:
4. Use Crayola Washable Markers to create stripes of bright colors. Color across both sides of construction paper. Cut the paper in strips. Bunch the tips of several strips together. Hold in place with clear adhesive tape. Make two bunches.
5. Cut a drinking straw in half. Push the bunched ends of a strip into one end of each straw. Fasten with tape. Insert the empty straw ends into your bicycle's handlebars. Keep your bike indoors in wet weather to protect your decorations! And most important of all, ride safely with a helmet!
