| Silly Foam Hats for Kids - Associated Content Posted: 06 Sep 2010 07:44 AM PDT When you have craft foam you have a world of fun right at your fingertips! The flat, colorful foam is inexpensive and perfect for making all sorts of things around your house. If Halloween is approaching, you can use  Make one type of hat by simply turning a sheet of the foam into a cone shape. Trim around the bottom edge of the cone to make it even. Tape or glue to secure. These hats can be decorated in so many different ways. Glue pom-poms down the front, and a larger one on top, to make a clown hat. Attach a tassel to the point of the cone to make something completely different. Add fake jewels to a pink, purple or white hat to make a princess hat for a little girl. Or, attach cheap, fake hair to the point to create a Victorian arrangement. The possibilities are endless! Make a different hat by cutting a wide band to fit around the child's head. Tape or glue the ends of the band together. Now set the band circle on another piece of the foam to create a top circle for the hat. Before cutting this piece, glue or tape the circle to the band, on the inside. Trim away the excess from the circle and the hat is complete. Decorate it in a fun way by adding a Styrofoam ball to the top, center, or even glue on plastic bats, bugs and other creatures. A partial list of things you can use with the foam to create new hats include buttons, pipe cleaners, sequin, lace, stickers, ribbon, shoe strings, glitter, appliques, felt shapes, foam shapes, cord, a single drawer knob, fake flowers, cotton balls and even beads. Use them to make cute designs, silly styles and even holiday arrangements. Craft stores are full of small miniatures and novelties that work well towards creating Halloween hats and more.

| Utah Jazz: Kids benefit as C.J. Miles mixes business, sports - Deseret News Posted: 05 Sep 2010 10:33 PM PDT Published: Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010 11:38 p.m. MDT Puerto Ricans are no strangers to basketball and the NBA, thanks in part to a couple of former Utah Jazz players, Jose Ortiz and Carlos Arroyo. Carmelo Anthony's father is also from the island, so the star visits on occasion. "They just love basketball," Miles said. "They lit up when I got there, and I'm pretty sure a lot of them didn't even know who I was." The Puerto Rican campers were even more impressed by how Miles treated them than by his top-level talent. The Jazz swingman made a point of signing autographs and getting his picture taken with everybody in attendance. "That was real nice," Quiles said. "The kids were crazy. The kids went wild. They were not expecting that at all." That wasn't the only surprise Miles had in store. He took down every kid's name and shoe size and worked through his Nike representative to buy basketball sneakers for his new friends. Miles' agent said he bought about 70 pairs of shoes for the kids. "I think he was just touched by the kids who showed up," Quiles said. Miles had a ball playing ball with the young boys, who gestured back and forth to communicate. "It was an experience seeing them wanting to play basketball," Miles said. He also felt bad that some of the kids didn't have basketball shoes and others had pretty worn footwear, so he decided to cap the trip with a charitable donation. "It felt right to do. ... I felt like I could help them," Miles said, "(and) I had the chance to, and that's what I did." Quiles raved about Miles' personality and generosity. Miles and Rice paid for their plane tickets, their food and lodging and didn't require an appearance fee. "C.J. is a real good kid," Quiles said. "He surprised me a lot. He's got a real good heart and he's really grounded — totally different than other guys (athletes)." Now Quiles is trying to make it an annual event if possible. The kids "loved it" and have asked him, "Hey, when's the guy coming back?" Miles, who stayed for 31/2 days, hopes to return in 2011. "It was fun," he said. "I got to relax a little bit. I never really go on vacation. I chill when the season's over for a couple of weeks and I always just get right back (to work) and never really go anywhere." One thing's for certain: If Miles does go back, he'll have some Nike-sporting amigos who'll know who he is. "It's not big in the news," Quiles said, "but it really means a lot to us in Puerto Rico. It's huge." e-mail: jody@desnews.com This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
