Fanny Pack Maniac!

On the beautiful autumn day of September 24, 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø students spent the afternoon eccentrically decorating and embellishing fanny packs to carry their essential COVID-19 items (and anything else they can carry).

Materials

Students met on 51±¬ÁϹÙ꿉۪s lawn where a collection of craft supplies were ready for our students to ravish. The hottest items to decorate the fanny packs included fake teeth (always a crowd favorite) and doll eyes—which students attached to fake fruits to create animated characters that were secured to the fanny packs as a keychain. Students also flexed their creativity by using gemstones, tassels, fake flowers and plants, and even creating patterns with glitter glue. In typical 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø fashion students were inspired by each others’ wild creations and came up with some runway worthy looks.
