Football Homecoming Crafts

Football homecoming crafts can turn a mediocre event into a time to remember. The trick to making meaningful gifts is to elevate them with a personal touch. Homecoming football games are a chance for high school students, parents and alumni to come together for an annual day of sports and celebration.

  1. Colors

    • Employing school colors provokes a nostalgic and celebratory notion of homecoming events. Covering your craft in paper that matches school colors makes for ideal wrapping material. Painting your homecoming craft or using fabrics that match football team uniform colors promotes an aura of team spirit and appreciation for players, the organization and the school as a whole for a job well done.

    Flags and Bells

    • Make flags and bells that support your school's football team as a physical display of unity and support during the homecoming game. Fashion a flag made from felt, for example, with the name of your team or favorite player. In addition, drape colorful ribbon and paint a "#1," for instance, onto the face of a cowbell. Wave your flags and shake your bells during the game. Flag and bell crafts have an active purpose during the homecoming game and provide a treasure trove of memories if those crafts are kept for years to come.

    Texture

    • Bring kids into the craft-making mix with papier-mâché. Adding a layer of papier-mâché to a cardboard craft, for example, helps to stabilize the surface of the object and enhances its texture. Use newspaper or paper towel strips as a flexible and malleable medium for employing papier-mâché. In fact, a paper towel, according to DLTK Kids, is an ideal canvas for the application of acrylic paint.

    Jewelry

    • Add femininity to football homecoming crafts by creating homemade jewelry. Making a bracelet or earrings, for example, can provide ideal gifts for football cheerleaders or color guard members. Add faux jewels that match the colors of your home team or use objects that emulate a team mascot. Make a bear-shaped broche, for example, if your mascot is a grizzly bear.
