Football Banner

Create this paper craft Football Banner for football watch parties, birthday parties, or team celebrations.

I have to admit, I’m not much into watching football unless the Colts are playing or it’s the Super Bowl. I decided it would still be fun to make a Football Banner for football season. The banner would also be great for a birthday party, the Super Bowl or an end of season celebration. The best part is you can make this banner in under 15 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes if you don’t have a personal cutting machine.

Here’s What You Need to Create the Football Banner:
Football, Black and White Stripe, Football Field (the Paper Studio) 12×12 Scrapbook Paper (Hobby Lobby)
*Alternative football papers – the papers I used have been hard to find recently but here is a link to some that are very similar
Twine
Clothespins
White Paper
Glue Stick

Cut the pieces of scrapbook paper in half so you will be able to get 4 uniform banner pieces out of each sheet of paper.

I wanted different shapes for the banner so I made the field into a flag, the black and white paper into a triangle, and the football paper into a football shape. You can use these shapes or make them how you prefer. The field and black and white paper were cut into 6″x4 1/2″ sizes, then cut into the desired shapes. I cut up 2″ in the center of the field paper to create the flag shape. Find the bottom center of the black and white paper and cut to create the triangle shape.

I used my Cricut machine to cut the football shape. If you don’t have one it’s an easy shape you can create yourself. Partially trace the edge of a bowl to make the shape then cut out some chunky football threads. The football is approximately 5″x4 1/2″. I love this football paper. The texture is so awesome!

Cut out plain white paper to glue to the back of the football to fill in the threads. See photo below.

Use clothespins to attach everything to the banner. Another option is to punch 2 small holes in the top of each shape and thread the twine through the shapes.

I really love how the football turned out. There are also other sports related papers available. I think it would be fun to have a sports party and make a banner with different balls attached.

Who else is ready for Fall, football games and yummy comfort food?
