How to Make Your High-Vibe Spirit Pin

Choose your MVA (most value athlete)

Who’s getting your masterpiece?
Your stunt partner? Bestie? Teammate?
Think: What would hype them up the most?

This step = instant good vibes.

Pick your peg (the star of the show)

Choose your colour based on the energy:
💗 Pink = fun & fearless
💙 Blue = calm confidence
💛 Yellow = hype & sunshine
🖤 Black = fierce & bold
🌈 Rainbow = unstoppable

Teens may go aesthetic.
Kids may go chaotic rainbow.
Both = perfect.

Bring on the glam

Grab your glue — it’s sparkle time.
Layer your gems, add your glitter, create patterns, go rogue, go maximalist, go minimalist… do YOU.

Ideas:
✨ Gem initials
✨ Full glam stripes
✨ Cute faces
✨ A glitter explosion
✨ “Lucky peg” vibes
✨ Team colour bling

There is no wrong way to glam a peg.

Duck time 🐥✨ (the fan-favourite moment)

Your duck = your good-luck charm.
Place it:

on top

peeking from the side

perched like a mini mascot

glued as the main feature

Every duck is a personality. Choose wisely.

 

Tie your ribbon through your peg so it can be:

pinned to a bag

hung from a water bottle

clipped onto a backpack

attached to a competition gift

traded like team-spirit treasure

Add your message of hype

Use the black pen to write something that boosts confidence instantly.

Ideas:
🔥 “Shine bright today!”
✨ “Go be magic.”
💪 “You’ve got this, superstar!”
🌟 “Teamwork = power.”
😍 “So proud of you!”
⚡ “Confidence activated.”

Kids can draw hearts, stars, or smileys.
Teens can go aesthetic, inspirational, or funny.

Gift it & watch the magic happen

Hand it over, slip it in their bag, surprise them before warm-ups — however you give it, you’re creating a moment they’ll remember.

It’s not just a gift.
It’s a hype explosion.
It’s confidence in peg form.
