DIY Football Party Canisters {College Football Saturday Link Party}

Wel­come to the Col­lege Foot­ball Tail­gate Link Party! I can’t believe the sea­son is just about over! And, it does fin­ish with a bang! There are SO many good games on this week­end, with two FULL days of col­lege foot­ball. Nebraska played yes­ter­day (and beat the Iowa Hawkeyes), as did the Ari­zona teams. The “duel in the desert” is a BIG rivalry game here. No mat­ter what team you cheer for though, today’s project is sure to work well for your tail­gat­ing & watch parties!

A few weeks ago for our fun Nebraska tail­gate watch party, I made some of these foot­ball party canisters–perfect for hold­ing uten­sils and treats! There were easy to make and seem like they are going to hold up well for many uses!

To make some of your own foot­ball can­is­ters, you’ll need:

• Large clean, tin cans
• Scrap­book­ing paper (I used a leather look­ing piece for the foot­ball & team paper for the other two).
• Scis­sors or a paper cutter
• Mod Podge & brush

Direc­tions:

1. Wrap the paper around the can­is­ter to size and cut accordingly.
2. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge all over the can and apply the paper.
3. Apply a thing layer of Mod Podge all over the paper.
4. For the foot­ball can­is­ter, apply cut strips of white paper to look like the laces & design of a football.
5. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the white strips.

Once dry, you’ll have some great can­is­ters that you can reuse for tail­gat­ing or any of your foot­ball par­ties! The Mod Podge really helps the paper hold up, so they should last for some time!

Now it’s YOUR turn…
