Are you all ready for some Football?! My family sure is! I'll be honest, I actually didn't enjoy sports at all growing up and hated that my brother had it on all the time. But then I married a wonderful man who loves sports, football being his favorite, so I decided to give it a try. I really enjoy it now, but most of all I love the food involved and the fun to be had with friends and family. I'm very excited for this years Super Bowl. I think it will be the most fun yet with all the things I have planned.
What I want to share first is my scoreboard. I bought a chalk board from Hobby Lobby and painted the edges to make it what I wanted. I also got some wooden squares and sticks and painted them to match. I put vinyl chalk board on them to make the paddles for the scores. This year my husband and I decided it would be fun to score the commercials since that is the favorite part for people who don't particularly love the game. So, we will have three teams, and for each commercial each team will give a score, and we will keep track on the score board while also keeping track of the score of the game. I'm very excited for this game!
Next we have the football cans. They are just leftover cans I had that I wrapped in our
American Craft Chestnut Cardstock and the laces with the
White Cardstock. You can put anything in these; candy, silverware, straws, napkins, etc. So simple! Then, we did the same thing with juice boxes for the kids at your party. We want them to have fun and feel included as well.
Next, we wrapped the football field paper from our
Echo Park Mini Themes Football pack around some napkins for people to use. I just cut them 1"x6" and taped them at the end. Also from this same
Mini Themes pack I put the Football and Banner sticker around the vase to make it more festive.
And last, my favorite project, the photo booth props. This is such a fun idea to bring a little bit more of a party to your Super Bowl party. I made the helmets for each team, a headset of a coach, the eye blacks, football glasses, and football bow ties. I am so excited to have fun taking pictures with all of my nieces and nephews and siblings, it is going to be a blast!
I know we didn't use much for the
Echo Park Football Mini Themes but I would still recommend getting it so you can use the rest to scrapbook all of the fun you had at your Super Bowl Party - I know that is what I will be doing with my extras! And of course, I will share those after the party! I had so much fun with this project and I hope you enjoy all of my ideas!
Happy Crafting!
I started out by cutting the rolls to the size I wanted them to be, they can be as long or as short as you want them. Next, fill them with candy and/or confetti, roll them up in the tissue paper, and tie off the ends with some WeR Glitter Sew Easy Glitter Floss. 
Helpful hint: If you are using glitter paper to wrap around you will probably need to use some tacky glue to keep it together. After putting on tacky glue cut another roll and put it around it and secure it with a rubber band to dry!
Next, we have some adorable tree ornaments. With this we used the Echo Park Dots and Stripes Christmas paper again. They are so cute and so simple to make! All you need do is cut out four triangles of the same size, fold each triangle down the middle, and adhere one half of the triangle to the half of another triangle until all sides are adhered together and make a cute little tree. Want to add even more to this cute ornament? Before you are done adhering all the sides together cut a peace of our Doodlebug Bakers Twine, put a bell on it, loop it through, tie a knot at the top, and finish putting paper together. These are some of the CUTEST ornaments hanging on my tree!!
