This is a fun craft that can be used in many ways. Give a promise of season's tickets to come by reproducing an existing ticket to use as a template. Make party favors for your boy's party by making up a sporting event ticket with each attendee's picture. If the ticket turns out to be a huge hit, blow it up poster size and use it as decor in a boy's room.
Instructions
1. Use your digital camera to take several photos of the kids playing sports. This creates the base for everything from a fully active photo of each child, or just the face. Import the photos into your computer and make sure that they are cleaned up in your page-making program. Read and follow the how-to instructions for your particular page-making program.
2. Import free sport graphics from the Internet. Buy them if you intend to use them often, but the free ones are cute and work just as well. Enhance the sports ticket with these graphics, especially if you are going to superimpose a child's face onto the graphic to personalize it.
3. Make a sports ticket template in your page-making program. Use a paper ticket that you already have as a sample. Make sure to leave plenty of room for your sports graphic.
4. Once you have all of the words in place on your ticket template, import the graphic you want. Move some of the words around to make it fit.
5. Go back to your pictures. Use the clipping feature to isolate just the face and save it under a different name so you can find it again. Import the face into your ticket template and position it over the correct spot in the graphic. Now you have a customized graphic with an actual kid's face on it.
6. Your ticket is ready for printing on your home printer, but if you are using these tickets for invitations, remember that they can also be party decorations if you blow them up and have them printed so you can tack them on a wall, Each child can take his home when he leaves as a remembrance of this great sports-themed party.
