Football-Inspired DIY Centerpieces

Download this PDF kit and print it on card stock. Cut out the football "laces" and affix it to the front of a kraft paper hat box. Cut out the icons and use a hot glue gun to attach them to lollipop sticks or kitchen skewers. Fill the hat box with coordinating paper shred and insert the football icons.

Remove the labels, and clean and dry five empty soup cans, then cover them with black-and-white striped paper. Cut out large colorful letters to spell "SCORE," then cut out the same letters – larger ­­– from a second color. Sandwich the letters on a lollipop stick, affixing them with hot glue. Lastly, add the letters and a small bunch of flowers to each can.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go. Fill a small vintage trophy with paper shred to match your team's colors and place a small spray-painted football on top.

Purchase regular balloons in your team color and cut the "neck" portion of the balloon off. Stretch the remainder of the balloon onto the bottom of any small glass vase, then fill it with water and coordinating flowers. Add a small hang tag or some matching ribbon for a finishing touch.
