Write text on your chalkboard using pink and blue chalkboard markers. I wrote: “Pick a team! Wear it proud!” This was a way to encourage the guests to grab a clothespin and wear it throughout the party.

Cut a blue ribbon and a pink ribbon longer than the height of the chalkboard. Tape ribbon to the back of the chalkboard using heavy tape. I used packing tape.

Attach the clothespins to the ribbons. I attached the pink clothespins to the pink ribbon and the blue clothespins to the blue ribbon then show off your welcome sign and encourage your guests to pick a team!
