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 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! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate and Tissue Football Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per football craft}
* Brown/Tan Tissue Paper
* Pen or Pencil
* School Glue
* Black Glitter Glue
* Kid Friendly Paper Scissors

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.
