It’s fall and we are officially ready for some FOOTBALL craft ideas on Glued To My Crafts!!! {and the crowd goes wild!!!}
Today’s Mini Popsicle Stick Footballs craft tutorial doesn’t cost a lot and the rules are simple! We are going to paint the mini popsicle stick “ball” completely brown and get ready for kickoff with a simple white stripe in the center!!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab those supplies and get ready to score the winning touchdown!!!
