Super Bowl Idea :: Decorating + a craft


:: Use astroturf!  It's super cheap, lasts forever, doesn't stain if it gets spilled on, and looks super clever.  Fill a tray with it (like I did above) or just lay it out on the table or use it as a runner (below).  

:: Buy yellow ref flags to make your own calls or call 'party foul' when appropriate.  Buy them here.

:: Pick a color scheme and run with it.  I found red bowls, red pots, and red serving dishes.  It all looks coordinated even when it's not.

:: Make personalized napkins - with your team name? motto?  Or just a generic saying, like "cheers" 



Personalized Napkins

You'll need:
:: blank napkins (all cotton works best)
:: fabric paint
:: letter stamps
:: paper plate

Step 1 :: Wash, dry, and iron napkins.
Step 2 :: Squirt a small amount of paint on a paper plate and spread it into a thin layer.
Step 3 :: Stamp letter stamp into the paint and stamp once on the paper plate to remove any excess.
Step 4 :: Stamp paint covered stamp onto the napkin pressing straight down and lifting straight up.
Step 5 :: Let dry and follow paint package instructions for settings the paint.
