We host Football Sundays in our garage-turned-home theater every week. Or did, but had to stop #because2020. But, anyway … under usual circumstances, we set up some fun football décor (by way of these fun football crafts for game day) and project the game.
And this year, it seems like maybe we can do that again … for our small social pod, anyway.
One wall in our garage is completely blank and that’s where we project the games. So each player is basically life sized. We open the garage and all our neighbors come down to hang out.
We have a ton of snacks ready and chairs out, but some of our neighbors actually leave folding chairs in our garage all season long. If you don’t have a similar setup, but want to get in on the fun, these football crafts for adults are the way to go.
Heck, even if you do have a football-friendly garage, basement, or man cave in your house, you still might want to make a few crafts to go with the theme.
We’re here to help.
We put together a great list of 10+ Football Crafts For Game Day. You can find a DIY Game Day Banner, coasters, a party picks, and more. These tiny accents really add up to a great display for your football watch party.
All you need to add is a big screen TV.
10+ Football Crafts For Game Day
DIY Cork Football Coasters
I’m obsessed with our DIY Cork Football Coasters. They’re made from cork paper and paint.
These homemade coasters keep your coffee table protected while looking awesome. What’s not to love?
Homemade Football Flatware Holder
This Homemade Football Flatware Holder is cute way to display your forks, knives, and spoons on game day.
It’s made from an upcycled soup can, but works with an old vegetable can too. So if you’re opening a can of tomatoes to make queso dip for game day, rinse it out and turn it into a way to old your utensils.
Then, when the game is over, you can either save it for next Sunday or just toss it.
DIY Football-Shaped Utensil Holders
Start your buffet table with these DIY Football-Shaped Utensil Holders to give your guests everything they need to eat.
You can either make them from upcycled toilet paper rolls (which yes, are sanitary), upcycled paper towel rolls, or you can actually purchase craft tubes if you’re not like me who saves every piece of trash for a potential future craft.
Homemade Football Flags Party Picks
These football flag toothpicks are the perfect way to one, dress up your party appetizers and two, keep those appetizers sanitary.
You can print of the flags — completely for free — in the post. There are two sets of flags. One has five football field themed flags and the other has three referee uniform flags and three football flags.
You can download both sets and mix and match your flags, or you can choose just one or the other.
Football-Shaped Snacks For Game Day
Football-Shaped Brownie
The best part about this Football-Shaped Brownie, besides how amazing it looks, is that it’s made from a round cake pan. You don’t have to go out and buy a special football-shaped pan just for this recipe.
The other best part is it’s made from store-bought boxed brownie mix, so it’s really easy.
Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods
Chocolate-covered pretzels are always so popular. So of course, they would be a big hit at your football party, especially if you make these Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods.
They’re a lot easier to make than they look. You just need a steady hand.
Fantasy Football Candy Bark
Root on your favorite football team by making this Fantasy Football Candy Bark in your team’s favorite colors.
It’s really simple to make, and you can pair any colors to make sure this football bark matches your home team.

What fun and creative ideas! My faves are the coasters, beverage tub and yard game. We don't watch football here in Europe, we have the soccer culture here.
