To show support for the war and the American troops fighting overseas, folks on the home front wore "V" pins for Victory. Many of these pins were homemade — something perhaps Kathleen and her sister Nell might have worn. Show your patriotic spirit and make one of these pins for yourself or as gifts for family or friends! MATERIALS: Thin cardboard Glue Your favorite decorative items: ribbon, beads, glitter Waxed paper Small safety pin Tape DIRECTIONS: Draw a V on your cardboard, and then cut it out. Remember, the wider it is the easier it is to decorate. Start gluing on your decorations — you can decorate this pin however you like — so be creative! Keep the pin flat while it dries. Turn the pin over and glue on a small safety pin — making sure that the pin opens out. Use a small piece of your tape to hold the safety pin upright until it dries. Now it's ready to pin to your favorite shirt, jacket, or backpack! Arts & Crafts Home
