Children will love creating their own medals for themselves or a loved one. Why not create a whole set and host your very own summer games!

Step 3
Fold the felt rectangle in half, using the safety pin as a guide, cut two small slits into the folded edge of the rectangle. This will be where you attach the safety pin.
