My Cub Scout son had his Blue & Gold banquet a couple of weeks ago. Since I'm "creative", I was asked to make table decorations and favors for the scouts in our den. The theme of the banquet this year was "Knights of the Round Table", so I decided to make each boy a sword in the stone.
It really wasn't that hard, but I was just frustrated that after making 11 of them, only half the boys showed up for the banquet! So know I have 6 left just sitting around the house. This would be so cute for a boy's medieval themed birthday party. Here's how I did it:
I started with floral foam from my local craft store. These are usually used for created flower arrangements in a pot or vase. I bought a package of six bricks and cut each one in half.
Then, I used a knife to slice angles off all sides of the block to make it look like a stone.
My hubby had some gray spray paint (I think he said it was actually primer, but I don't think it matters) and he painted each of the "stones".
The swords are actually pens! I purchased them from Oriental Trading. It came with the tassels, so I just added name tags.
