Paper Cup Football Supplies:

* White Paper Cup – one per football craft
* Brown Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush
* Large Paper Plate
* White Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue

Directions:

* First flip the paper cup over {bottom acing upwards} and place it on top of the large paper plate.
* Squirt some brown craft paint on one of the edges of the paper plate.
* Next have children paint the outside of the cup completely brown.
* When they are done with that particular step, set aside the painted cup {still on the paper plate} to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your white cardstock and cut a thin white strip to go around the cup, as well as some stitching for the side.
* To finish off the Paper Cup Football, glue on the white cardstock pieces you just made, in their designated spots and display proudly for all to see!!!
