Super Simple Team Banner

In the time between the summer decorations come down (last day of August) and I put up the Halloween decorations (late September), I like to decorate with a mix of fall and football decor.  I made this crazy-fast banner to use during that in-between time (and if they make the Playoffs, it'll go back up after Christmas!) out of some felt, yarn and team stickers that I bought from our local party store.  Using hot glue means this goes together in about 20 minutes :)




1/4 yard of each color you plan to use (I made 20 flags in alternating colors - if you have a larger mantle, adjust accordingly)
2  pieces of yarn, each x feet long
stickers/emblems
 1 - Cut 10 large isosceles triangles out of each color of felt (sides: 6 1/2 inches  top: 4 1/2 inches)
2 - Cut 10 small isosceles triangles out of each color of felt (sides: 3 1/2 inches  top: 2 1/2 inches)




3 - Adhere the emblems/stickers to the small triangles using hot glue
4 - Adhere the small triangles to the larger ones using hot glue (I just went around the edge of the small triangle - this went so fast, I forgot to take a picture)




5 - Lay out your large triangles, face down, alternating the colors
6 - Fold top inch of the triangle over the yarn and down on itself - adhere using hot glue (careful not to get the hot glue on the yarn - the triangles should be able to slide on the yarn for adjustment)




7 - Trim excess triangle top (careful not to cut the yarn)




8 - Hang the banner and adjust triangles (for equal spacing) by sliding them along the yarn




9 - Trim yarn to desired length (I like a little hanging down)



Super simple and football festive!

Are You Ready for Some Football!

My household was positively giddy over the official kickoff to the NFL season tonight.  To me, football season means fall and fun food.  And what's more fun than a football cake pop?  Here are some of my favorite football inspired food (literally!) from Pinterest:


1  Mmmm cake pops!  I'm definitely trying to make these little footballs this year!  {source}
2  How awesome is this idea?  My mom makes killer whoopie pies (we call 'em gobs) I'm going to have to get her recipe and make some of these football shaped ones for the playoffs  {source}
3  Awesome football words printable  {source}
4  I have some of that scrapbook paper in my stash from when I made Munchkin's paper alphabet - what a fun way to dress up a regular cupcake!  {source}
5  Gotta have the football-shaped cheese ball!  {source}
6  These are such a great idea and even (kinda) healthy  {source}
7  Oh Betty Crocker, your ideas are the bomb.  Peanut butter cookie.  Chocolate icing.  Need I say more?  {source}
