DIY Football Snack cups
Supplies
Brown construction paper
White paper
Brown yarn
Scissors
Three-hole punch
Glue
Football template
Instructions
Trace around your template onto brown construction paper, and cut out. You will need two football shapes for each snack cup.
Cut and glue strips from the white paper, to create the laces of the football. You will need about five.
Match up two of the football shapes, and while holding them together, punch holes along the bottom, about 1/2 inch apart.
Using yarn, lace through the holes. Secure each end with a knot and fill with your favorite game day snack.
Football Mason Jars
Supplies
Pint mason jars with lids and bands
White chalk paint
Crown chalk paint
1? paint brush
Instructions
Begin with brown chalk paint. Using the 1? paint brush, paint the brown paint over on the outside of the mason jar. Let it dry completely. Continue adding coats of paint until the entire jar is covered. For me, it took three coats of paint. Let dry completely.
Use the white chalk paint to paint lines like football on the smooth side of the mason jar. One side of the mason jar has ridges, and the other side should be smooth. Let the paint dry. Now decorate! You can add ribbons and stickers.
