Popsicle Stick Cheerleader Puppet - Tailgating Kid Craft Idea

Football Cheerleader Puppet Craft

Touchdown! You have landed on an EPIC game themed post today! Now who is ready for some FOOTBALL?!

With the new school year off to a great start, this typically means we dive right into the football season right after. Whether you support the high school, college teams or even the big league, this post is for YOU and your child!

Recently I was brainstorming new ideas for Glued To My Crafts {at my favorite store Dollar Tree} when I came across some football print cupcake liners. Since we LOVE crafting with these paper gems, in the cart they went and the rest is history! I’m shaking my pom poms because I’m super excited to share with you all this “first seen here idea” today!

So if you are preparing for the upcoming football season or you just love our idea THAT MUCH, you can find all the crafty details below. I found these particular football print cupcake liners at my local Dollar Tree store but I’ve also seen the same brand at Walmart recently.

Now without further ado – let’s get to kick-off and eventually to what will be your best craft game this week! Keep scrolling for the how-to below!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures on our Facebook page wall, of your craft stick cheerleader puppets! I want to see what team you are supporting with your color choices! And like I said, I’m really excited for this tutorial and I’m pretty sure I’m the first to come up with this idea. So let’s make it go viral so more people can recreate it and cheer in happiness with us! #gluedtomycrafts
