Meme Day
September 30, 2018
Day two of Homecoming dress up week will let students bring out their comedic, creative side. Meme Day could include any kind of character a student finds in a popular social media creation. Meme ideas include salt bae, tide pods, the avocado kid, and any of the infamous Spongebob collages.
One famous meme, the “that’s none of my business” Kermit the frog puppet, requires minimal props and purchases. Becoming the shade-throwing Kermit requires a green shirt, darker green felt, a white tea cup, and a piece of white poster board. Students can put together this meme in five easy steps.
Step 1– Cut the triangle pattern around Kermit’s neck out of the darker green felt. Make sure to cut the triangles as even as possible and make each triangle about four inches long. The triangles should remain separate from each other.
Step 2– Use hot glue or fabric glue to attach the triangles on the lighter lime green T-shirt. The triangles should lay in a circular pattern around the neck of the shirt. The hot glue will dry within a couple of minutes, but fabric glue will take two to three hours to dry fully.
Step 3– Grab a full sized white poster board and cut it down to a comfortable size so you can hold the sign comfortably. Write the phrase “That’s none of my business…” on the poster board in black marker.
Step 4– (Optional) If you want, grab a Home Depot paint stirring stick and glue that to the back of the sign. This will make holding the sign easier and more comfortable throughout the school day.
Step 5– Last but not least, grab a white tea cup and add a tea bag to the cup. Taping the tea bag inside the cup will make the bag stay in place and not fall out throughout the school day. Take a sip of fake tea and throw all the shade while strutting as Kermit all day.
