Blogs and websites are full of inspiring ideas for Valentine's Day right now.
I'm very excited to do some of the projects that I've seen.
But first things first.
What about the SuperBowl!
I know that since blogs are written mostly by women
there may not be a huge need for football crafts.
But we're having a Super Bowl party again this year,
so I wanted to make some decorations to make the party more festive.
I did find a few ideas online and some of those sparked other ideas.
So, for now I'll share a tutorial on the football centerpiece I made,
and come back later for some other football related crafts.
And because Valentine's Day is so close I adapted the centerpiece to work
for Valentine's Day and that's included here as well.
Here is the finished product.
Cute, right?

Some of the tube will not get covered if you use a standard sheet of paper and that's okay.

Cut out football shapes from the brown fun foam and draw stitch lines on with paint pen or white out. Cut heart shapes out for the VDay centerpiece.

Place it on the table with all the great (yummy but not good for you) appetizers.
