Paper Plate Football

Paper Plate Football {Kid Craft}

Football Craft Idea For Kids To Make On Game Day!

Continuing on w/the football theme from yesterday on Glued To My Crafts – today I’m sharing this “Paper Plate Football” kid craft idea with you all.

We all know once school starts back up again and the weather starts to cool down – football season is upon us.

Although I’m not a football fan myself {I just went to a few games in high school to socialize} I do have a HUGE Ohio State fan living in my house.

So in honor of him and the upcoming fall season, I made this EASY tissue paper football w/my son. It’s now parading on our fridge and my husband is pretty proud {Go Bucks!}

Keep scrolling for all the details and supply list, so you can recreate it with your child today! Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished footballs made from paper plates, on our Facebook page afterwards! I can’t wait to see how awesome they turn out! #gluedtomycrafts

Football {Kid Craft}

Directions:

  • First draw/cut out your football shape from a paper plate. I just imagined an “eye” and went from there.
  • Next, cut your tan tissue paper into your small squares.
  • Follow that up by putting a good layer of glue all over the paper plate you just made.
  • Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the plate piece is completely covered.
  • Cut some strips out of white cardstock and glue on the paper plate, to give the look of stitching.
  • Finally, let your Paper Plate Football dry completely before displaying proudly.
