Create your royal sash

In alignment with the theme of the royal affair, we invite each school to provide the campus TOY with a royal sash (decorated cloth to drape over-the-shoulder and attach at opposite waist) that they can wear to the event. Be creative and elegant in designing your TOYS royal sash – incorporating school colors, representation of TOYs honor, etc. For samples, click here.
