Lacrosse is becoming a more popular sport in the United States. We decided to add these female (right) and male (below) Lacrosse players to our extensive line of party sports theme centerpiece cut outs.
As with all of our cut outs, they are cut out of polystyrene and are available in plain white, detailed and as well as painted and detailed.
In Lacrosse a small, solid rubber ball passed from player to player with a long racket also know as a lacrosse stick. The netting at the end of the stick allows the ball to be caught, held and passed to another player or into a goal net for a score. Both men and women play lacrosse and it is said to be the oldest team sport in the Americas.
The origin of Lacrosse interested me. It began as a Native American team sport among the Iroquois and Huron Indian tribes of the U.S. and Canada. The game had many uses and many purposes. It would be played to resolve conflicts or to prepare for war. It was also a development tool for strong bodies and used as a religious rite.
Our centerpiece decorations are certainly not used for those reasons. However, they are applicable for your next sports event or celebration, themed wedding or rehearsal, birthday or retirement party, as well as bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah celebrations.
Visit our main do it yourself centerpiece site for more sports cut outs samples.
As always, if you do not see what you need we can always make a prototype to suit your dreams. There is no extra charge for developing a custom cut out for our customers.

Ice Cream Banana Split Centerpiece
Mikey’s favorite is the banana split (left), shown here with an ice cream cone and a bar. Also available is the ice cream sundae (right).
We wanted to share a formula for some cute centerpieces we helped put together for a Halloween themed bat mitzvah party a just a few weeks ago.
Use these construction techniques to decorate your party with attractive centerpieces. Support a stick or flexible plastic tube by gluing onto a piece of styrofoam or wood. Insert into your base (here a plastic jack-o-lantern) and glue. The base can also be a shopping bag, small box, decorated box, theme box (i.e. computer), etc. Camouflage with some tissue or mylar paper. Add a large picture (or other theme piece) at the top mounted to a rigid piece of cardboard or polystyrene and attached to the stick or flexible plastic tube.
Add theme related garnishments – here we used leaves, scarecrows, dried flowers, etc. Or it can be anything complimenting the theme you select.
Tracey Smith’s blog on Thoughtfully Simple earlier today was titled Express Yourself with Color on Your Wedding Day
She began by writing: “Did you know that every color has a specific meaning or symbolism? Just like horoscopes, some people believe in these symbols and meanings and others do not. Whether you believe it or not, certain colors certainly do exude specific energies (red is hot, yellow is cheerful, etc) and the colors that you choose for your wedding theme can have a big impact on the overall success of your big day. Here is a closer look at what the specific meanings are behind the most popular wedding colors…”
For instance, she continued to explain: “The color RED signifies passionate love….. The color PURPLE signifies magical, mysterious love…. The color YELLOW signifies happy and wise love.”
Read what these and other colors represent in the rest of the story.
Our new video demonstrates how to put together a DIY violin cut out for a music theme party centerpiece. The centerpiece includes strings and a bow. The strings are made from white yarn, heavy black card stock and clear push pins. We start with a plain white polystyrene violin cut out, seal it and paint it. Judy paints F holes, adds a tail piece, fine tuners as well as a bow with fishing string hair.
The violin and bow are added to a budget “Just Add Sand” centerpiece base and accented with two pieces of onion grass. Balloons, a table name and table place cards together make an economical violin theme centerpiece for a Bat Mitzvah, Bar Mitzvah, wedding, special event or party!
Patti Lew wrote an article titled “Real Greener Ever After Wedding: Farm Fresh Weddingfest” in yesterday’s SF Green Weddings Examiner.
She tells the story of a beautiful three day wedding fest in Connecticut’s BerkshireMountains.
The following advice was offered at the end of the article for “Other Eco-conscious Couples
“Definitely keep it fun and light. The decisions you make shouldn’t limit you.
“Incorporate your friends because they want to be involved and it’s meaningful for them, too.
“Don’t be afraid of what other people are going to say or expect of a wedding. We helped shift that idea and ultimately when people get there they’re totally grateful for that experience.
“Don’t settle. You may have tough conversations with your families, but try to get them onboard and build consensus on building meaningful celebrations.
“Go with what you are passionate about because you love it and people will love it, too. “
Either male or female tennis players are available, shown painted black or come standard in their natural polystyrene white.
