We go through a lot of snacks on game day, especially during the Super Bowl. We always have friends and family over to watch the game, but with cold and flu season in full swing I get leery over everyone’s hands reaching into the snack bowl. Almost everyone in my family has had a stomach virus over this past week, myself included, and the last thing I want is for us to keep passing this crud around. This morning I started making some super simple and fun Super Bowl snack cups for us to use next weekend, during our Super Bowl Party.
Here’s what you’ll need to make them:
brown construction or craft paper
white printer paper
jute cord or brown yarn
scissors
whole punch
craft glue
football template (I used the a football coloring page found here)
Directions:
1. Trace around your template onto brown construction paper, and cut out. You will need to football shapes for each snack cup.
2. Cut and glue strips from the white paper, to create the laces of the football.
3. Match up two of the football shapes, and while holding them together, punch holes along the bottom, about 1/2 inch apart.
4. Using jute cord or yarn, lace through the holes that you punched. Securing the two ends with a knot.
5. Fill with your favorite game day snack, such as Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar.
