Junior Firefighter neckerchief slide idea - Hometown Heroes

The Theme this month is Hometown Heroes and the Core Value is Cooperation. I decided to make up some Junior Firefighter badge Neckerchief Slides. I hope you enjoy them. To make them:

Print the instruction page and large shield PDF out on Cardstock, and cut out the shield
Trace the shield onto the fun foam and cut out
Choose either a gold badge PDF or white badge PDF and print them out on card stock and cut out the shields
Glue the paper shields onto the back of foam shields with a glue gun making sure the pen marks do not show
Attach a back to the neckerchief slides. I like to use 1/2" PVC pipe cut into small strips.
